Windows Server 2019 includes new features that improve the performance and scalability of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) deployments. Persistent memory, faster erasure coding, and enhanced SMB performance increase workload performance. Larger maximum cluster sizes and increased volume and server limits allow for greater scalability. The Windows Admin Center management tool provides improved visibility, monitoring, and maintenance of HCI deployments.
DPDK aims to improve network performance in OpenStack by reducing latency. The hypervisor was not designed for network functions and introduces bottlenecks through interrupts and copying. DPDK runs in userspace and uses poll mode drivers to bypass the kernel for packet processing, improving throughput. A proof of concept showed DPDK-accelerated Open vSwitch handled over 30Gbps of traffic with low CPU usage, compared to normal OVS which topped out at 10Gbps. While the test had limitations, DPDK offers potential to accelerate features like SR-IOV, VMQ, and offloads.
Cloud Based VDI with OpenStack, by Shifen YangHui Cheng
This document summarizes Cloud Based VDI with OpenStack. It discusses modifications made to Nova, Keystone, Glance, Quantum, and Swift to support a virtual desktop infrastructure using OpenStack. Key points include extending APIs, adding Active Directory support, implementing differential snapshots in Nova, enforcing storage quotas in Swift, and designing for disaster recovery. The overall goal is to launch and manage virtual machines, enable user login and authentication, check access policies, update storage rings, and implement content delivery, all through an OpenStack-based cloud computing platform.
Linux VDI with OpenStack – How to Deliver Linux Virtual Desktops on DemandLeostream
It’s no secret that Linux has a loyal fan-base across the development community and industries such as government, engineering, and oil & gas. But, when it comes to VDI, the operating system often gets the short end of the stick.
How can you lower IT costs when applications run on a Linux operating system? How can you handle a mixture of Windows and Linux in a hosted environment? And, how do you ensure a seamless end-user experience, while maximizing resource usage and minimizing downtime?
The truth is, Linux VDI doesn’t have to be hard. You can create a virtual Linux environment that provides an efficient way to access hosted resources on centrally managed servers. By combining the Leostream Connection Broker with a high-performance protocol, managing a hosted Linux environment can be as simple, seamless, and powerful as a hosted Windows environment.

Docker Networking is a feature of Docker Engine that allows you to create virtual networks and attach containers to them so you can create the network topology that is right for your application. The networked containers can even span multiple hosts, so you don’t have to worry about what host your container lands on. They can seamlessly communicate with each other wherever they are - thus enabling true distributed applications.
And Networking is pluggable, so you can use any third-party networking driver to power your networks without having to make any changes to your application.

Taking Docker to Production: What You Need to Know and DecideDocker, Inc.
This document provides advice on taking Docker to production. It recommends starting simply by focusing on Dockerfiles and containerizing existing applications before complex orchestration. It also warns against common anti-patterns like using the "latest" tag or trapping data in containers. The document outlines sample swarm architectures and tech stacks and notes that outsourcing non-critical components can simplify operations. It closes by suggesting that an orchestrator may not always be needed and that running one container per VM is a valid approach.
This document discusses using OpenStack for VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure). It provides an example of a large company, Ctrip, that uses OpenStack VDI for over 10,000 agents with over 200,000 daily connections. Key technical issues with OpenStack VDI are then outlined, including provisioning, connection protocols, cloud-init configuration, boot storms, and the need for automation. Automation is discussed as being critical but challenging for tasks like backups, password recovery, and resource management.

This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks. The document discusses implementing certificate pinning in Android apps by configuring the network security configuration file or using third party libraries like OkHttp that have CertificatePinner classes to restrict which certificates an app will accept.

This document provides an overview of SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) and how it works to secure data transmission over the internet. It discusses why SSL is important for encrypting data and verifying identities. It then explains the basic process of how SSL works, including how a client encrypts requests using a server's public key and how the server decrypts with its private key. The document outlines the requirements to implement SSL, including generating a key and obtaining a certificate. It differentiates between self-signed and authorized certificates. Finally, it provides steps to create a certificate using OpenSSL and configure the Apache web server to use SSL.
SSL, more strictly called Transport Layer Security (TLS), is a means to encrypt data that is in flight between software components, whether within your data center or between that and your end users' devices. This prevents eavesdroppers seeing confidential information, such as credit card numbers or database passwords, and ensures that components are communicating with who they they think they are. So why isn't SSL/TLS used for all electronic communications? Firstly it is, almost by definition, "slightly tricky" to configure and errors are not terribly informative when things don't work (why would you help a hacker?!). Secondly there is a performance overhead for running TLS, although with modern hardware this is probably less of a concern than it used to be.
This session describes how to configure TLS at all layers within a Fusion Middleware stack - from the front-end Oracle HTTP Server, right through to communications with the database.
This platform was first given by Simon Haslam (eProseed UK) and Jacco Landlust (ING) at the OGh Fusion Middleware Experience event in February 2016.
This document provides steps to create an SSL certificate for Nginx on Ubuntu. It involves generating a private key, creating a certificate signing request (CSR) with the key, and using the CSR to generate a self-signed certificate. The certificate and key are then configured for a virtual host in Nginx to encrypt website traffic.
This document discusses why HTTPS and secure certificates are important for websites. Some key points include:
- HTTPS provides benefits like faster loading, improved SEO, and avoiding browser warnings. It also establishes trust with users.
- Common excuses for not using certificates like small site size or not processing payments are invalid, as hackers automate attacks.
- If a web server supports HTTP/2, HTTPS can be faster than HTTP. Tools like Chrome developer tools show the protocol used.
- The process to implement HTTPS involves obtaining a certificate, updating server configurations, and ensuring proper security is configured.
- Resources like Let's Encrypt and Qualsys tools can help simplify certificate management and test security configurations. Maint
За последние годы разными специалистами и компаниями (от Google до Сноудена) был проделан колоссальный объём работы с целью популяризации протокола SSL, а позже и TLS. Дорабатывались протоколы и шифры, обнаруживались десятки уязвимостей, криптографические библиотеки форкались и проводили аудиты, правозащитные фонды выдавали сотни миллионов сертификатов "забесплатно". В конце концов, TLS явочным порядком, в обход стандарта, стал обязательным для HTTP/2-серверов. Так много сил было приложено, что просто-напросто уже невежливо всё это игнорировать.
Однако процесс внедрения TLS за это время, как это ни удивительно, не стал проще ни на йоту. Сисадмины, приступающие к развёртыванию TLS, вынуждены столкнуться с классификацией типов сертификатов, с множеством центров сертификации (которые непонятно, чем друг друга лучше) и с великим множеством дополнительных заголовков и "ручек", каждую из которых можно подёргать с непредсказуемым результатом. В результате даже крупные компании при внедрении TLS допускают ошибки той или иной степени серьёзности (включая, но не ограничиваясь масштабным даунтаймом клиентов GlobalSign), а небольшие стартапы предпочитают, вообще, обходить криптографию стороной.
За отведённые на доклад 45 минут мы постараемся дать описание каждой из пресловутых "ручек" и рекомендации по их [не]применению, а также дадим рекомендации по развёртыванию TLS на крупной инфраструктуре.
WordCamp Raleigh 2017 - Move from HTTP to HTTPS or become irrelevant - Peter ...Peter LaFond
If you own a website, specifically a WordPress site, it's time to move from HTTP to HTTPS. Google is implementing a Carrot-and-Stick plan to get you there. This WordCamp talk touched on the basics of HTTPS/SSL/TLS and Google's plan to make the web more secure. These slides cite links with supporting information.
The document provides an overview of encryption, digital signatures, and SSL certificates. It discusses how public key encryption uses a private key and public key to encrypt messages. Digital signatures authenticate the identity of the sender and ensure messages remain intact. SSL certificates allow browsers and servers to establish an encrypted connection by containing a public key and verifying identity with a Certificate Authority. The client's browser verifies the server's certificate with the CA to trust the secure connection.

A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.

When it is all about ERP solutions, companies typically meet their needs with common ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. These big players have demonstrated that ERP systems can be either simple or highly comprehensive. This remains true today, but there are new factors to consider, including a promising new contender in the market that’s Odoo. This blog compares Odoo ERP with traditional ERP systems and explains why many companies now see Odoo ERP as the best choice.
What are ERP Systems?
An ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, system provides your company with valuable information to help you make better decisions and boost your ROI. You should choose an ERP system based on your company’s specific needs. For instance, if you run a manufacturing or retail business, you will need an ERP system that efficiently manages inventory. A consulting firm, on the other hand, would benefit from an ERP system that enhances daily operations. Similarly, eCommerce stores would select an ERP system tailored to their needs.
Because different businesses have different requirements, ERP system functionalities can vary. Among the various ERP systems available, Odoo ERP is considered one of the best in the ERp market with more than 12 million global users today.
Odoo is an open-source ERP system initially designed for small to medium-sized businesses but now suitable for a wide range of companies. Odoo offers a scalable and configurable point-of-sale management solution and allows you to create customised modules for specific industries. Odoo is gaining more popularity because it is built in a way that allows easy customisation, has a user-friendly interface, and is affordable. Here, you will cover the main differences and get to know why Odoo is gaining attention despite the many other ERP systems available in the market.
