Top 10 Ways To Secure Containers

Aggregated on: Thu Feb 17 2022 10:49:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

A cybersecurity incident can cause severe damage to the reputation of the organization and competitive disadvantage in the market, the imposition of penalties, and unwanted legal issues by end-users. On average, the cost of each data breach is USD 3.92 million as per this IBM report. The biggest challenges providing security in organizations are: Lack of skills and training in security tools and practices Lack of visibility and vulnerabilities Continuous monitoring of the current state of security In the recent survey by PaloAlto Networks, State of Cloud Security report, it was discovered that 94% of organizations use one or more cloud platforms and around 45% of their compute is on containers or CaaS. The dominance of containers is increasing and thus the security threats.

GitOps Principles and Workflows Every Team Should Know

Aggregated on: Thu Feb 17 2022 10:49:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

An Operating Model for Dynamic, Distributed Kubernetes Environments Kubernetes clusters have a lot of moving parts—and so does each application running on a cluster. With frequent application and environment updates, the state of every cluster can change rapidly. Operating at scale—with dozens of clusters and hundreds of application instances—it can be almost impossible to avoid configuration inconsistencies between clusters and configuration mistakes that result in prolonged troubleshooting, downtime, or worse. It’s exactly these types of challenges that have led so many organizations to adopt GitOps, bringing the familiar capabilities of Git tools to infrastructure management and continuous delivery (CD). In last year’s AWS Container Security Survey, a whopping 64.5% of the respondents indicated that they were already using GitOps. That number will undoubtedly grow when this year’s survey is released.

Automating SQL User Generation and Password Rotation With CockroachDB

Aggregated on: Thu Feb 17 2022 09:49:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Motivation As with most of my tutorials, topic ideas come from user inquiries. I see this question come up quite often and we don't have a documented approach to bridge the gap today. Cockroach Labs engineering is hard at work to build an API that will make this point moot but until then this can be a viable alternative. It is primarily directed at our cloud offering where we rely on password authentication today. There are also cases where password authentication serves other purposes and we need ways to automate the provisioning of passwords other than ALTER USER username WITH PASSWORD "password"; command. You can take this approach and incorporate it into your CI/CD pipelines to onboard new users and manage their passwords in absence of certificate-based authentication and its associated revocation mechanisms or directory services and its password management capabilities.

Redshift vs. Snowflake: The Definitive Guide

Aggregated on: Thu Feb 17 2022 00:04:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

What Is Snowflake? At its core Snowflake is a data platform. It's not specifically based on any cloud service which means it can run any of the major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP). As a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solution, it helps organizations consolidate data from different sources into a central repository for analytics purposes to help solve Business Intelligence use cases. Once data is loaded into Snowflake, data scientists, engineers, and analysts can use business logic to transform and model that data in a way that makes sense for their company. With Snowflake users can easily query data using simple SQL. This information is then used to power reports and dashboards so business stakeholders can make key decisions based on relevant insights.

Using Machine Learning to Find Root Cause of App Failure Changes Everything

Aggregated on: Wed Feb 16 2022 23:04:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

It is inevitable that a website or app will fail or encounter problems from time to time, ranging from broken functionality to performance issues or even complete outages. Development cycles are too fast, conditions too dynamic, and infrastructure and code too complex to expect flawless operations all the time. When a problem does occur, it creates a high-pressure urgency that sends teams scurrying to find a solution. The root cause of most problems can usually be found somewhere among millions (or even billions) of log events from a large number of different sources. The ensuing investigation is usually slow and painful and can take away valuable hours from already busy engineering teams. It also involves handoffs between experts in different aspects or components of the app, particularly with the use of interconnected microservices and third-party services which can cause a wide range of failure permutations. Finding the root cause and solution takes both time and experience. At the same time, development teams are usually quite short-staffed and overworked, so the urgent “fire drill” of dropping everything to find the cause of an app problem stalls other important development work. Using observability tools, such as APM, tracing, monitoring, and log management solutions, helps team productivity, but it's not enough. These tools still require knowing what to look for and significant time to interpret the results that are uncovered.

Polymorphism, Encapsulation, Data Abstraction and Inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming

Aggregated on: Wed Feb 16 2022 21:34:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Object-Oriented programming refers to the concept in high-level languages, such as Java and Python that uses Objects and classes in their implementations. OOP has four major building blocks which are, Polymorphism, Encapsulation, Abstraction, and Inheritance. There are other programming paradigms, such as Procedural programming in which code is written sequentially. Python and Java are multi-paradigm high-level, programming languages. This means they support both OOP and procedural programming. A programmer decides on the paradigm to use based on their expertise and the problems they're trying to solve. However, there is no debate that OOP makes programming easier, faster, more dynamic, and secure. This is a major reason Java and Python are two fo the top most popular programming languages in the world today

Why the Cool Kids Use Event Loops

Aggregated on: Wed Feb 16 2022 18:04:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

When I was working in software development back in the 1990s, nearly all the software libraries that I worked on made use of event loops. This was because at the time most hardware had just one single CPU. Back in the day, I remember the excitement when threads were introduced into our development framework. It was revolutionary that we could now run two things at once, or rather appear to run two things at once, since a lot of the hardware at that time still only had a single core, and hence our threaded code was never really truly concurrent. Over the years I've had mixed feelings about threads. Some of the most challenging systems that I’ve maintained have suffered from the overuse or misunderstood impact of concurrency. Even today I have discussions around if a piece of code is truly thread-safe and although the libraries (for example, the Java Concurrency Library) have made massive improvements reducing the burden of developing with threads, it is still somewhat of a challenge to ensure that we are not calling code which is not thread-safe when we have assumed it is. This is something that is generally not easily picked up by either static analysis or software compilers.

How to Write a Software Requirements Specification (SRS) Document

Aggregated on: Wed Feb 16 2022 17:34:59 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

There are plenty of horror stories about outsourced software developers and clients clashing on project requirements, and one of the most common causes of such quarrels is ambiguous language. Vague terms like "urgent," "pending," "ASAP," and so on might mean something different to the client and to the contractor. Or, perhaps, the involved parties have a different impression of the product's prioritized functionalities. It's neither party's fault, per se — they are just speaking different languages, in a sense. The customer has an idea for the product, its functions, and what the user interface might look like. But the developers are thinking about the "behind-the-scenes" of the project, how to write a scalable and readable code, ensure security, make a solution performant, minimize bugs, etc. When there is a disconnect between both viewpoints, it can lead to extra work, wasted money, stress, and even a sub-par final product. But, thankfully, there's a way to avoid such miscommunications from the get-go: Software Requirements Specifications.
