Networking strategies for Linux on Azure
We explore advanced networking strategies tailored for Linux workloads on Azure.
Production-ready mini-Kubernetes installations
Kubernetes can be highly complex, with massive setup routines that are totally over the top for newcomers. If you want to try out Kubernetes or run it in production, you have a number of options, even if you decide not to use the comprehensive packages from established vendors.
Automated health checks
The open source Dradis framework helps you create plans for carrying out team pentests and facilitates the task of standardizing reports from different tools to create summary output.
Comparing system rescue distros
Rescue systems play a particularly important role for desktops because they cannot simply be reinstalled on the fly. We look at venerable but outdated Knoppix and three still in development: Grml, SystemRescue, and Finnix.
File access optimization discovery and visualization
File I/O is a limiting factor for many applications and can become a bottleneck for data-intensive computing. We analyze different file access functions and present a script that visualizes and optimizes inefficient file I/O.
Intelligent observability with AI and Coroot
In the deep waters of scalable environments, observability is more important than ever. Coroot enters the scene with eBPF to intercept traffic and collect data that is of interest for monitoring and attack detection.
Quick patches with Ansible
Ansible has earned an excellent reputation as a tool for configuration management. Thanks to playbooks, updates are more or less child's play.
MAT: Monitor your infrastructure with Netdata
Netdata relies on easy commissioning and a hosted cloud service to simplify monitoring, alerting, and trending. More than 300 services can be monitored in addition to basic system parameters.
Develop a simple scanning application with the NAPS2 SDK
A NAPS2 PDF scanner, the C# language, and the .NET Framework set the stage for a CLI app for scanning documents.
Denial of service defense
Slowloris can help you harden your web servers against denial-of-service attacks that restrict the availability of web services.
