Cisco marries AI and security with cloud-based data center offering

18 April 2024 @ 5:22 pm

Cisco is tying together the intelligence of AI with the power of the cloud to deliver a system it says will proactively protect distributed applications, devices and data located across public and private data centers and clouds. The new architecture, called Hypershield, is comprised of AI-based software, virtual machines, and other technology that will ultimately be baked into core networking components, such as switches, routers or servers. It promises to let organizations autonomously segment their networks when threats are a problem, gain rapid exploit protection without having to patch or revamp firewalls, and automatically upgrade software without interrupting computing resources,

Shredding files on Linux with the shred command

18 April 2024 @ 2:52 pm

The most obvious way to remove a file on a Linux system is to simply use the rm (remove) command. However, even though you will no longer see the file once it’s been deleted, this doesn’t mean that the file’s contents have been so thoroughly wiped from the disk that they can’t be recovered. Content will often sit on the disk until the space is used by a new file. Another option – one that overwrites the file and optionally deletes it too – is called “shred”. As the name implies, the shred command will repeatedly change and rearrange the file’s data so that it can’t be recovered. It will also delete the file if you request that it do

The APAC sovereign cloud surge: How will it impact your business?

18 April 2024 @ 10:24 am

From Sydney to Seoul to New Delhi, a new type of cloud is casting a long shadow over technology strategies. Sovereign clouds, designed to keep a nation’s data firmly within its borders, are upending traditional approaches to cloud computing for global enterprises operating in the Asia-Pacific (APAC). Although it’s still in the early days, IDC’s survey shows that 19% of APEJ (Asia Pacific except Japan) organizations expect to increase their spending on sovereign cloud this year. According to Capgemini’s research, in Australia alone, 64% of organizations are actively investigating a sovereign cloud strategy, compared to 52% globally. The concept of sovereign cl

Intel builds world’s largest neuromorphic system

How to install BTRFS on a Debian Linux 12/11

14 February 2024 @ 6:10 am

See all Debian/Ubuntu Linux related FAQ Btrfs, which stands for "Butter FS" or "B-tree FS," is a modern Linux file system. It was developed to overcome the limitations of older file systems like ext4 or ext3. Btrfs is an excellent choice for efficient storage management on multiple Hard Disk Drivers. It supports Linux file systems with snapshots, subvolumes, and built-in RAID-like capabilities that provide robust data protection. It is designed to handle huge file systems and file sizes. Btrfs incorporates checksumming and COW (Copy-on-write), making it more resilient to data corruption. The COW feature means changes are written to new loc

What is the best way to partition Ubuntu22 with Packer (and ansible?)

I have this all working, but I am wondering if there is a better way to do this? It seems very difficult to make small changes this way. I'm using the vsphere-iso provisioner here, but I can also work off a template if that makes sense. I'd like to avoid the extra step. Ideally, I'd like to do this with Ansible, I'm just not sure of the best way. I build the image with Packer and Ansible and SHell. Provision with Terraform and Ansible. So please give me advice on where the best place to do this is. The thing i'm trying to do is set up LVM partitions in Ubuntu22. For EL I just do this with Kickstart.

I moved all of the drives over to a Ubuntu box and tried to assemble the array with mdadm. Long story short, here's where I'm at. It looks like Seagate creates a raid partition for the fs, swap, hard reset files, and finally data. The fs, swap, and "hard reset files" are in raid 1, but the data was in 5. If I do an mdadm --assemble --scan I get sudo mdadm --assemble --scan mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 4 drives. mdadm: /dev/md1 has been started with 3 drives (out of 4). mdadm: /dev/md2 has been started with 3 drives (out of 4). where md0 is the filesystem, md1 is swap, and md2 is reset stuff, but md3 doesn't come up.
