Treat Security as a Risk

Aggregated on: Mon Jan 24 2022 12:19:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Security is the poster child of a Non-Functional Requirement: most people don't care until the proverbial fecal matter hits the rotary propeller. Consequences can range from losing reputation to legal liability to putting the business out. In my post on running unsecured code, I concluded that you should treat security as a risk - and left it at that. I think it warrants a dedicated post. Risk management is pretty much documented. You can find it in many engineering disciplines, if not every one of them. A risk management process consists of the following steps:

NoSQL support for Hyperlambda

Aggregated on: Mon Jan 24 2022 07:19:44 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Handling huge amounts of data is literally impossible without having some sort of relationship to NoSQL database systems, such as Cassandra or ScyllaDB. The reasons are because these database systems are created to scale linearly, implying they're just as fast with a billion records as they are with 50 records. Hence, building things such as Twitter or Facebook is impossible without the ability to use NoSQL. Hyperlambda has always suffered from lack of official support for such NoSQL database systems. However, yesterday that change with the release of Magic version 10.0.19. Out of the box you can now as of the latest release of Magic and Hyperlambda connect to any Scylla or Cassandra based cluster, retrieve records, and do any of the main CRUD operations towards your data storage. And as an additional kicker you can exchange the default RDBMS based logger with a NoSQL equivalent.

Understanding Canary Analysis

Aggregated on: Sun Jan 23 2022 21:34:43 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

We discussed the basics of canary deployment In the blog “What is Canary Deployment?“. It is one of the most widely used strategies because it lowers the risk of moving updates into production, while simultaneously reducing the need for additional infrastructure. Today, many applications run in a dynamic environment of microservices, which makes the software integration and delivery process complex. The only way to successfully deploy updates consistently is to use solid automation with tools like Spinnaker.

Fantastic Symbols and Where to Find Them (Part 1)

Aggregated on: Sun Jan 23 2022 19:34:43 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Symbolization is a technique that allows you to translate machine memory addresses to human-readable symbol information (symbols). Why do we need to read what programs do anyways? We usually do not need to translate everything to a human-readable format when things run smoothly. But when things go south, we need to understand what is going on under the hood. Symbolization is needed by introspection tools like debuggers, profilers, core dumps, or any other program that needs to trace the execution of another program. While a target program is executing on a machine, these types of programs capture the stack traces of the program that is being executed.

PodSecurityPolicy (PSP) is being deprecated in Kubernetes 1.21. There are several external admission controllers available like OPA/Gatekeeper, but getting started with OPA can be challenging. Otomi, a complete suite of integrated K8s apps and add-ons, combined with developer self-service, is using OPA/Gatekeeper as the standard for providing policy enforcement. All apps integrated into Otomi are pre-configured based on sane defaults and best practices. Configuration of all apps is managed using a version control system where the desired state is reflected as code and the cluster state is automatically updated.

Building Resiliency With Effective Error Management

Aggregated on: Sun Jan 23 2022 18:19:43 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Building resilient systems requires comprehensive error management. Errors could occur in any part of the system / or its ecosystem and there are different ways of handling these e.g. Datacenter - data center failure where the whole DC could become unavailable due to power failure, network connectivity failure, environmental catastrophe, etc. – this is addressed through monitoring and redundancy. Redundancy in power, network, cooling systems, and possibly everything else relevant. Redundancy by building additional data centers Hardware - servers/storage hardware/software faults such as disk failure, disk full, other hardware failures, servers running out of allocated resources, server software behaving abnormally, intra DC network connectivity issues, etc. - Again the approach here is the same. Monitor the servers on various parameters and build redundancy. There are various High availability deployment patterns that are employed and with the advent of containerization bundled with the power of DevOps, more efficient patterns of solving this problem have also emerged. Architects and designers of the systems need to take care of the availability aspects of their components while designing the system as per the business need and the cost implications. In today's world, cloud providers take care of the rest usually.

This blog was co-created by Ricardo Ferreira (Elastic) and Viktor Gamov (Kong). We love our microservices, but without a proper observability (O11y) strategy, they can quickly become cold, dark places cluttered with broken or unknown features. O11y is one of those technologies deemed created by causation: the only reason it exists is that other technologies pushed for it. There wouldn't be a need for O11y if, for example, our technologies haven't gotten so complex across the years.

Understanding DevSecOps and Discussing Top Automation Tools for CI Pipelines

Aggregated on: Sun Jan 23 2022 17:19:43 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

DevOps and Agile methodologies have transformed how applications and software are developed, built, and iterated on. Essentially, DevOps empowered developers and IT operations teams to develop, fix bugs, release features, and deliver builds at record speeds. Consequently, software development teams became more efficient, going from a few builds a week to teams now reaching upwards to three digits in the same amount of time. However, the improvement in delivery speeds was met with a key challenge. Every build needed to be tested, checked for vulnerabilities, and then fixed. Furthermore, in most cases, by the time the QA and Security experts were done with a build, there were several new builds with many changes and vulnerabilities, as well as security issues. This challenge led to the development of DevSecOps pipelines out of a necessity to eliminate the bottleneck generated by security and QA checks to applications before they reach production.

Hugging Face: The Best Natural Language Processing Ecosystem You’re Not Using? If you’ve been even vaguely aware of developments in machine learning and AI over the last few years since 2018, you definitely have heard of the massive progress being made in the world of Natural Language Processing (NLP) due in large part to the development of larger and larger transformer models. Of course, we don’t mean the extraterrestrial shape-shifting robots of the 1980s franchise of the same name, but rather attention-based language models. These models gained widespread attention in the ML community in 2017 with Vaswani et al.’s seminal paper Attention Is All You Need, and the subsequent mass adoption of the Transformer blueprint for NLP in 2018 has been likened by some as the ImageNet moment of language models.

How to Detect and Defeat the Log4j2 Vulnerability With Deepfence

Aggregated on: Sat Jan 22 2022 18:19:43 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Introduction to log4j2 Mitigation The log4j2 vulnerability like the OpenSSL Heartbleed and Apache Struts vulnerabilities that came before it are poignant reminders to digital businesses that it’s not just enough to respond to a vulnerability by redeploying applications once a patch is available, you also have to be able to discover instances of the vulnerability being exploited in real time in your production platform and stop them. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use Deepfence ThreatMapper and ThreatStryker to help you do just that. Deepfence ThreatMapper is an open-source security observability platform that hunts for vulnerabilities – including log4j2 – in applications in production across containers, Kubernetes, clouds, serverless environments, VMs, and bare metal, and then ranks them based on their risk of exploit. ThreatMapper eliminates the noise and false positives generated by scanning tools by further calculating the risk of exploit for each of these vulnerabilities, so that you can target the issues that present the greatest risk to the security of your applications.

Microservices Testing: Key Strategies and Tools

Aggregated on: Sat Jan 22 2022 14:49:42 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Development teams are increasingly choosing a microservices architecture over monolithic structures in order to boost apps' agility, scalability, and maintainability. With this decision to switch to the modular software architecture — in which each service is a separate unit with its own logic and database that communicates with other units through APIs — comes the need for new testing strategies and new testing tools. Testing microservices is a critical part of the microservices application process: you need to ensure that your code doesn’t break within the unit, that the dependencies in the microservices continue to work (and work quickly), and that your APIs meet the defined contracts. Yet, because many microservices are built with a continuous delivery mode to build and deploy features consistently, developers and DevOps teams need accurate and reliable testing strategies to be confident in these features. So which different types of tests exist for microservices, how can they work for other areas of your software, and what are their benefits? The well-known "testing pyramid" can provide a testing framework for approaching these tests. According to Martin Fowler, a prominent author on software engineering principles, “The 'Test Pyramid’ is a metaphor to group software tests into buckets of different granularity.” The different layers of the pyramid are defined as:
