A tale of Disaster Recovery (Cfengine everyday, practices and tools)RUDDER
After a brief presentation of configuration management (CM) basics, we start with an ill-fated tale from the recent past about disaster recovery (also known as a case study, if you must): how our CM saved us, how it didn't, and what could have been done better. This could lead to a discussion about best practices.
We use Cfengine 3, and will introduce the software, overview the main differences with other open source CM tools before explaining why we like this choice. But Cfengine is not all: what enables us to manage our configuration completely are the practices and tools we've built around it.
Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief propChereCheek752
Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux.
The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:
(10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.)
· Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
· The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).
(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)
· What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
· Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.
(10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.)
· What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing).
(1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.)
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation.
· An introductory slide
· A summary slide
· Voice narration on every slide
For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be visually appealing; the inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required.
(1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and validate ideas.)
You must cite at least two quality sources.
You used at least 2 references and your references were cited properly following an accepted style. Ask your instructor for clarification.
Use the Migration Proposal Presentation template to get started.

Securing Your Enterprise Web Apps with MongoDB Enterprise MongoDB
Speaker: Jay Runkel, Principal Solution Architect, MongoDB
Level: 200 (Intermediate)
Track: Operations
When architecting a MongoDB application, one of the most difficult questions to answer is how much hardware (number of shards, number of replicas, and server specifications) am I going to need for an application. Similarly, when deploying in the cloud, how do you estimate your monthly AWS, Azure, or GCP costs given a description of a new application? While there isn’t a precise formula for mapping application features (e.g., document structure, schema, query volumes) into servers, there are various strategies you can use to estimate the MongoDB cluster sizing. This presentation will cover the questions you need to ask and describe how to use this information to estimate the required cluster size or cloud deployment cost.
What You Will Learn:
- How to architect a sharded cluster that provides the required computing resources while minimizing hardware or cloud computing costs
- How to use this information to estimate the overall cluster requirements for IOPS, RAM, cores, disk space, etc.
- What you need to know about the application to estimate a cluster size

SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has suffered an alleged data breach after a notorious threat actor claimed to have exfiltrated data from its systems. Infamous data leaker IntelBroker posted on the even more infamous BreachForums hacking forum, saying that Europol suffered a data breach this month.
The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.
However, this is neither the first nor the last activity of IntekBroker. We have compiled for you what happened in the last few days. To track such hacker activities on dark web sources like hacker forums, private Telegram channels, and other hidden platforms where cyber threats often originate, you can check SOCRadar’s Dark Web News.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

2. The problem
Company Goal
To Deliver Software more
frequently with high
quality
Context
Configuration
Immutability
Problem statement
Configuration is by
definition mutable.
How do we maintain
software immutability yet
manage runtime
configuration changes?
3. Challenges deep-dive
Challenge 1
Immutable infra
solved with containers
for software deployment
Challenge 2
Configuration
Legacy arrangements:
Each kind
(build/deploy/runtime)
had suitable location:
some in local files, some
in database, LDAP, other
kinds of storage (e.g.
Memcache, Redis)
Challenge 3
Settle them together
So what needs to
change?
How do we keep
immutability yet
introduce configuration?
4. Solution
Environment & Distributed
12 Factor App approach: if it is
Environment related - inject it
through environment (variables).
Otherwise?
Distributed Cluster to the rescue
8. Distributed Conf Example: clusters
You already done it or are already using it!
TAS POC: used sky-dns for service discovery. Host names and IPs were on etcd (could be
done on Consul the same) instead of host files.
REST API to update, DNS client reads from Sky-DNS as normal DNS. Registrator, an
agent container, updates on containers change in state. Sky-DNS reads configuration from
cluster.
HyBrid for interim period
Examples for Hybrid solutions (apps reading from local files as used to, a 3rd-party updates
the local files from cluster and ‘Refresh’ the application):
● Consul Template
● confd
9. Did someone mention State, Version Control?
hmm… either:
1) Always be backward/future compatible
2) Add versioning in-to configuration hierarchy
3) Both
Best Practice: used to be #2 (as was for REST APIs, e.g. /api/1.0/blabla/…). However! no longer so,
trend is towards #1, gradually (Canary) or Blue/Green replace SW version at production, roll
forward…
There are other important means to know what has changed and react accordingly, e.g. audit event
log. It’s more a matter of how you design your system for maintainability than configuration store
