Raphaël Gauthier, CfgMgmtCamp 2019.
One of Rudder’s main focuses is its comprehensive graphical user interface, which allows users to view and manage its configurations without writing a line of code.
The user experience and interface considerations for a tool as technical and complex, and with such potential to break things as a configuration management tool are certainly a challenge, and in some ways in unchartered territory. Rudder’s frontend developer will present an analysis of the situation, the issues encountered and the approach adopted for the improvement of UX and UI planned for 2019.

Hacking for fun & profit - The Kubernetes Way - Demi Ben-Ari - PanoraysDemi Ben-Ari
To defend against attacks, think like a hacker. But does that mean you need to be a DevOps expert? Security researchers today need to discover new attack techniques. However, much of their focus is diverged to backend coding. We share how to build an infrastructure for researchers that allows them concentrate on business logic and writing hacker “tasks”. Using Docker and Kubernetes on Google Cloud, these tasks can then be performed in parallel and without a lot of DevOps hassle. Our technique removes two common barriers: first, long and risky deployment processes and second, low transparency within the production system.
Promise to share the stupid things too.

How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

What if configuration management didn't need to be lvl60 in dev?RUDDER
Slides from Alexandre BRIANCEAU's talk at #OSSPARIS19 (Open Source Summit.
Server infrastructure automation is not simple. Several solutions have existed for several years and most of them rely on infra-as-code to achieve their mission. By the way, why infra-as-code?
And unfortunately, these solutions require strong development skills. So how can we do this when the infrastructure team does not have sufficient and, above all, homogeneous expertise? Because otherwise, beware of the "Guru Team" effect, or how the infrastructure automation to save time ends up with a huge SPOF because only one person in the team knows how it works....
I would like to discuss this together and introduce you to RUDDER briefly. RUDDER is a configuration management solution, and therefore infra-as-code, that allows you to automate your systems by relying entirely on a graphical interface to manage your configurations. Because the infrastructure is complex enough to add a layer!
Slides from Alexandre BRIANCEAU's talk at #OSSPARIS19 (Open Source Summit Paris 2019).
Security is everyone's business, an exploited breach is enough. Teams are aware of this and yet it is still as difficult as ever to be able to ensure, be confident, and reassure others (prove) that at least one party is under control.
And when it comes to server infrastructure, especially at the OS / middleware level, everything gets complicated. Even with an operational security team, it is difficult to ensure that the Information System Security Policy and security recommendations are properly implemented on all servers.
How can we be sure that our security policies are properly applied on all our servers other than through a massive and costly audit? Even if they were when they were created, how do you know if they remain perfectly compliant after a few days / weeks / months?
Let's discover together RUDDER, an open-source solution for continuous compliance based on configuration management to automatically audit and/or correct our systems.

OSIS 2019 - Qu’apporte l’observabilité à la gestion de configuration ?RUDDER
On parle d’observabilité des services lorsque ceux-ci exposent des états et métriques internes pour améliorer la disponibilité globale.
Qu’en est-il de l’observabilité des infrastructures sur lesquelles ils sont déployés, configurés et maintenus ?
Les différents logs (centralisés, agrégés) permettent un bon début d’analyse mais il faut aussi observer les systèmes au fil de l’eau pour tracer chaque changement et les corréler avec le monitoring. Aujourd’hui, ces étapes de configuration IT devraient être prises en charge par les outils de gestion de configuration, qui deviennent la passerelle vers l’observabilité des opérations.
Nous montrerons l'intérêt de cette approche pour la gestion IT moderne avec un retour d’expérience sur les challenges de leur mise en place dans Rudder, notre solution libre d’audit et de gestion de configuration en continu.
OW2Con - Configurations, do you prove yours?RUDDER
How can we be sure of the continuous configuration management proper operation? How to expose factual topic-related reports to dev, sec, managers, customers...?
We believe that, in order to deliver the full business and collaboration value of continuous configuration management, the solution needs to go further than simply applying policies - it must ensure configuration reliability; prove historized application and status; share it to other teams; notify of any drift with a relevant context.
This talk will present why and how we should be concerned about transmitting factual measures on infrastructure management to all parties involved. We will also guide you through the journey to include a full-fledged reporting feature in a configuration management solution.
The latest major version of the solution has brought a major new feature to the Rudder solution: a plugin ecosystem.
The Rudder software architect will present the reasons for this new feature, how it works, and what are the different plugins available.
Benoit Peccatte, CfgMgmtCamp 2019.
Benoit Peccatte started out as a developer for air traffic control systems but quickly became more interested in writing code generators to automate his job.
After meeting some smart sysadmins on the beach, he switched jobs and has been automating servers for the past decade.
He stumbled across open source in engineering school, and quickly became convinced that free software is the only way to keep software maintainable whatever happens in the future.
Benoit is now trying to automate his job on Rudder, developing features in Rudder to continuously configure and audit more and more servers.
What uses for observing operations of Configuration Management?RUDDER
Nicolas Charles, CfgMgmtCamp 2019.
More and more services expose their state, internal details and metrics to be observable, and improve overall quality of service.
But what about observing the infrastructure they are deployed, configured and maintained on?
What can we learn from that, and what do we need from configuration management to get these features and metrics?
Logs from installation is a good start, but they need centralization, aggregation and especially knowledge derivation from these - but also we need to observe these features over time, to trace changes, and correlate them with monitoring.
Rudder was built around the predicate that all actions of the configuration agent need to be traced, centralized and exposed in a meaningful way - with agents ensuring the continuous configuration of systems, and this talk will show the rationale behind this predicate, how we implemented this solution, and the benefits of this approach for the modern IT world.
What happened in RUDDER in 2018 and what’s next?RUDDER
Alexis Mousset, CfgMgmtCamp 2019.
Let’s take a look at Rudder’s new features from 2018, both in terms of the features of versions 4.3 and 5.0 as well as the new documentation and our platform for building and distributing binaries.
We will then present the provisional roadmap for 2019: let’s go to Rudder 5.1 and 5.2!
Alexandre Brianceau, CfgMgmtCamp 2019.
Rudder is an open source configuration management tool that includes continuous auditing (with or without remediation), compliance info and graphs and the possibility to configure everything in the UI and/or APIs.
It has been around for more than six years and has users large (think 10 000 nodes) and small around the world.
Let’s take a moment to look at the vision that lead us here, how Rudder is different from similar tools, and what users find invaluable, nice (or annoying - I’ll be honest!).
If you’re not familiar with Rudder this is a great talk to attend to get the basics covered.

L'audit en continu : clé de la conformité démontrable (#POSS 2018)RUDDER
Présentation issue du talk pour le Paris Open Source Summit 2018 par Alexandre Brianceau dans le track Cybersécurité.
Les politiques de sécurité sont de plus en plus complexes et exigeantes à mettre en oeuvre pour les équipes opérationnelles. Comment pouvons-nous être certains que nos politiques de sécurité soient bien appliquées sur tous sos serveurs autrement qu’à travers un audit massif et coûteux ? Quand bien même le seraient-elles lors de leur création, comment savoir si elles restent parfaitement conformes après quelques jours / semaines / mois ?
Nous montrerons comment définir des règles techniques d'une politique de sécurité dans RUDDER, une solution d'automatisation de conformité informatique open source issue du monde devops où la gestion automatique de la configuration est déjà la norme. ensuite toutes les 5 minutes sur chacun des serveurs afin de remonter un résumé global permettant alors d’inspecter les problèmes qui doivent être corrigés.
Nous expliquerons également comment une politique d’audit déployée avec succès peut être imposée sur tous les systèmes avec le même outil, en passant de l’audit automatique à la remédiation automatique.
Fiabilité et conformité continues en production avec Rudder (#BBOOST 2018)RUDDER
Présentation issue du talk pour le BBOOST 2018 par Alexandre Brianceau.
Une infrastructure dont les configurations ne sont pas homogènes, surveillées et maintenues en conformité en continu finit inévitablement par dériver, entraînant failles de sécurité et incidents de production.
Alors que la fiabilité de l’IT est devenue critique, la méthode traditionnelle consistant à mener des audits tous les X mois montre ses limites : une dérive entre deux audits peut passer inaperçue et causer un incident.
RUDDER est une solution qui garantit la conformité des configurations en permanence.
Stay up - voyage d'un éditeur de logiciels libresRUDDER
Voici le retour d'expérience d'un des fondateurs Rudder sur ce que c'est qu'être entrepreneur dans les logiciels libres et les 10 ans de voyage écoulés à travers 4 étapes clés:
- la constitution de l'équipe,
- le passage par un incubateur,
- la levée de fond (ou pas),
- et la recherche d'un business model soutenable.
How we scaled Rudder to 10k, and the road to 50kRUDDER
Management graphical interface, real-time compliance and ease of use are some of Rudder core principles. When Rudder was created in 2010, hundreds of servers were considered a large installation, and the constraints and limits to manage systems were totally different than nowadays, as IT speaks in terms of thousands of nodes. I’ll present how we scaled Rudder from hundreds to 10k nodes, on each different aspect of the product: changing the way nodes talk with the Rudder server, rewriting the data model, evolving the UI, how we detected new limits - further away - and how we removed them; and made sure these limits don’t come back through tooling and testing. Finally, I’ll present the planned evolutions in upcoming releases to reach 50k managed nodes.
Rudder 4.1 was released in March 2017 with:
- an advanced feature to query external APIs and pull in node properties dynamically
the ability to add "key=value" tags to all Rules and Directives in order to categorize them
- a new API on relay servers to enable node-to-node file sharing and remote run in firewalled environments performance improvements
- a new plugin package format
Rudder 4.2 was released in September 2017 and includes the support for a new plugin that adds support for a new Windows DSC-based agent. Rudder 4.3 will include:
- Parameters for Technique Editor techniques
- ACLs on the API accounts
- Many architecture improvements
In parallel, new plugins are being developed:
- A plugin to integrate data from external APIs
- Monitoring integration with Centreon
- CMDB integration with iTop
- A reporting plugin for historized compliance
This talk will introduce these new features and show how to use them, hopefully getting you as excited as we are! Then, we will move on to explain about longer-term feature ideas we have for Rudder, and the general vision linked to future developments.
About Nicolas Charles

In 2010, he co-founded Normation, and he still enjoys fixing things in Rudder and at its users.
DevOps D-Day 2017 - Gestion des configurations et mise en conformité chez un ...RUDDER
En tant qu’hébergeur et infogérant, Jaguar Network est confronté à une double évolution :
Le marché attend de la part d’un Service Provider de prendre en charge une part toujours plus importante de la gestion du système d’information.
La croissance de l’entreprise entraîne une pression plus importante quantitativement (scalabilité) et qualitativement (garantir la fiabilité et la sécurité sur l’ensemble du parc géré).
Ainsi, Jaguar Network a dû trouver une solution capable de résoudre cette double problématique à laquelle de plus en plus de sociétés sont confrontées : assurer la croissance rapide du parc tout en améliorant et en garantissant la fiabilité.
Grâce à RUDDER, solution open-source française de Continuous Configuration dédiée aux contraintes de la production, l’atteinte de cet objectif a été grandement facilité. En duo avec l’éditeur de RUDDER, Jaguar Network racontera le déroulement de ce projet, de la mise en place de l’outil aux résultats constatés, en passant par l’intégration avec les autres technologies du SI.
Un retour d’expérience concret et complet sur le concept de Continuous Configuration et son implémentation avec RUDDER.
RUDDER is an easy to use, web-driven, role-based solution for IT Infrastructure Automation and Compliance. With a focus on continuously checking configurations and centralising real-time status data, RUDDER can show a high-level summary (“ISO 27001 rules are at 100%!”) and break down noncompliance issues to a deep technical level (“Host prod-web-03: SSH server configuration allows root logins”).
A few things that make RUDDER stand out:
- A simple framework allows you to extend the built-in rules to implement specific low-level configuration patterns, however complex they may be, using simple building blocks (“ensure package installed in version X,” “ensure file content,” “ensure line in file,” etc.). A graphical builder lowers the technical level required to use this.
- Each policy can be independently set to be automatically checked or enforced on a policy or host level. In Enforce mode, each remediation action is recorded, showing the value of these invisible fixes.
- RUDDER works on almost every kind of device, so you’ll be managing physical and virtual servers in the data center, cloud instances, and embedded IoT devices in the same way.
- RUDDER is designed for critical environments where a security breach can mean more than a blip in the sales stats. Built-in features include change requests, audit logs, and strong authentication.
- RUDDER relies on an agent that needs to be installed on all hosts to audit. The agent is very lightweight (10 to 20 MB of RAM at peak) and blazingly fast (it’s written in C and takes less than 10 seconds to verify 100 rules). Installation is self-contained, via a single package, and can auto-update to limit agent management burden.
- RUDDER is a true and professional open source solution—the team behind RUDDER doesn’t believe in the dual-speed licensing approach that makes you reinstall everything and promotes open source as little more than a “demo version.”
RUDDER is an established project with several 10000s of node managed, in companies from small to biggest-in-their-field. Typical deployments manage 100s to 1000s of nodes. The biggest known deployment in 2016 is about 7000 nodes.

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

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.

Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?

I never know what
will happen after
clicking on a Save
button…
▪ Popups
▪ Messages
▪ Notifications (Tech. editor)
Flaws:
⊖ Popups bother the user
⊖ Messages are difficult to see
- They have no color, no icon (Error?
Warning? Success?)
- They do not fit on all pages
13. Only use
notifications
13
Use of notifications (such as the Reporting plugin):
▪ Success : Green notification, which automatically disappears
after a few seconds
▪ Warning & Error : Only disappear when the user clicks on
them
Advantages :
⊕ Fits on any page
⊕ Requires user action only if necessary
No more popups!

“The Design Thinking process is based on the intuitive workflow process of a designer.
The team is led through iterative loops which take the participants through six stages.”
Why Is Design Thinking what
we need ?
- It reduces the risk
associated with
launching new ideas.
- It will helps us to learn
faster.
- It generates solutions
that are innovative, not
just incremental.
