AWS CodePipeline supports stage level manual and automated rollback

26 April 2024 @ 10:00 pm

AWS CodePipeline V2 type pipelines now support stage level rollback to help customers to confidently deploy changes to their production environment. When a pipeline execution fails in a stage due to any action(s) failing, customers can quickly get that stage to a known good state by rolling back to a previously successful pipeline execution in that stage. Customers can roll back changes in any stage, whether succeeded or failed, except the Source stage.

Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager default policies now supports AWS Organizations

26 April 2024 @ 9:53 pm

Customers can now create and manage default policies across their entire organization or organizational unit (OU) with AWS CloudFormation StackSets. Default policies work in conjunction with customers’ existing backup mechanisms to only create EBS-backed AMIs and EBS Snapshots of instances and volumes without recent backups. This helps administrators ensure that all member accounts have comprehensive backup protection without creating duplicate backups or increasing management overhead and cost. 

Restore running applications to pre-update state in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink

AWS supports dynamically removing and adding auto assigned public IPv4 address

25 April 2024 @ 5:27 pm

With this capability, customers that no longer require an auto assigned public IPv4 address on their EC2 instance can remove the public IPv4 address, and if needed attach back a new public IPv4 address, by modifying the public IP setting on the network interface. Before today, once a public IPv4 address was auto assigned to EC2 instance it was not possible to remove it. It remained on the network interface for the lifetime of the EC2 instance.

Hitachi Vantara launches unified storage platform

26 April 2024 @ 1:09 pm

Hitachi Vantara announced the availability of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One, a unified platform that spans both on-premises and cloud storage and supports both structured and unstructured data.

What the apropos command does with the terms you add as arguments is pull the description lines from the top of the related man pages that include them. For example, if you were to ask about “updatedb”, you would see something like this: # apropos updatedb updatedb.conf (5) - a configuration file for updatedb(8) updatedb (8

Introducing Wi-Fi 7 access points that deliver more

This idea that the access point (AP) can do more than just route traffic is a core part of our product philosophy, and we’ve consistently expanded on that over multiple Wi-Fi generations with the addition of loc

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

Site-To-Site IPSec between StrongSwan and zyxel usg100

I need to have both networks from datacenter connected to the nebula device in our office, but nebula can't write two subnets to the remote networks. In datacenter I have kerio router and Debian server, which has installed strongswan, so I can connect nebula to one of them. It doesn't matter, which of them it will be… Do you know, how to do it?

SPF include for cloudfilter.net relay server

I'm helping out a not for profit whose site is hosted on Bluehost. Their primary broadcast email is getting mail delivery failures to Gmail address of the type "SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:550 .... sender rejected AUP#DNS" Other emails on the same domain deliver OK to Gmail but get SPF softfails from Gmail due to cloudfilter.net, which I assume is a relay service used by Bluehost (and possibly other hosts) . The softfails mention: omta34.uswest2.a.cloudfilter.net. [35.89.44.33] omta40.uswest2.a.cloudfilter.net. [35.89.44.39] The bounces mention: eig-west.smtp.a.cloudfilter.net [34.217.196.71] eig-east.smtp.a.cloudfilter.net [18.215.58.191] Can I create a single SPF include that covers the variants like the above?

How to implement an active health check with web load balancer

28 April 2024 @ 8:15 am

I need to have a web load balancer with active health check. This frontend machine should handle https certificate, a bit of caching and, most important, proxy to backend server only if they are healthy. I tried nginx but unfortunately I discovered nginx opensource supports only passive health checks and then I have few alternatives. Trying to use one of forks for nginx active health check, not supported and probably hard to install. Develop a custom bash script, set in in a cron schedulation, to check the health of servers that changes the nginx configuration and reload the instance. Install HAProxy that supports active health check and configure it in cascade from nginx. So nginx will handle certificate and caching and will proxy to local HAProxy, then HAProxy will handle just the balancing with health check. I have few doubts for all solutions. The last one seems to be the most solid, but is it a good idea to have 2 webser

What are the options for Layer 7 DDoS protection of AWS resources

28 April 2024 @ 7:41 am

Assumptions (based on AWS docs): AWS WAF (whether used directly or via Shield Advanced) is what AWS provides as a service. The pricing structure of WAF means every request incurs a cost, even from IPs that it may decide to block, as it still needs to process and respond. Hence a DDoS attack can result in a cost spike. Services like Route53 and CloudFront have AWS Shield Standard enabled by default, which only protects from layer 3/4 DDoS attacks. Questions: Are my assumptions correct? I have read articles where customers have mentioned using external services like CloudFlare to provide authoritative DNS, as their layer 7 DDoS protection is far more cost effective. However, wouldn't that only protect from attacks needing IP resolution? I.e., if an attacker has the IP to the AWS service (like Global Accelerator) resolved, can't they attack it directly without needing to go via CloudFlare?

Kaldi Application fails to load as a debian systemd service when the memory requirement is high

28 April 2024 @ 7:19 am

I have an C++ application that loads a Kaldi ASR model. If the model is small, the application is able to load the model and run in command line as well as a systemd service under Debian 12. However, when I am loading a bigger Kaldi ASR model, service fails to load, but it runs fine from command line. I am really scratching my head here, what is the limitation being applied here while running as service. There is no memory limit specified in the service file. Following is the service file: [Unit] Description=kaldiasr-english Wants=network-online.target After=syslog.target local-fs.target network.target network-online.target [Service] ; service Type=simple PIDFile=/var/log/kaldiasr-english.pid PermissionsStartOnly=true ; blank ExecStart= line flushes the list Environment="LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib" ExecStart=kaldiasr 8010 60 English vosk-model-en-us-0.22 TimeoutSec=45s Restart=on-failure ; exec WorkingDirectory=/home/test User=test Group=

Excessive DNS lookups in DataDog APM traces

28 April 2024 @ 6:02 am

We are using Datadog for tracing by including the dd-trace library in our NodeJS microservices. We started to notice strange DNS lookups in our traces. These lookups show the IP address of the kubernetes node where the service pod is located. We don't do any DNS lookups in the service code. I am attaching a screenshot with 3 DNS lookups: Image with 3 DNS lookups As you can see in the trace there are no requests to other services except to MySQL, but it has different IP address and located on different instance. What are these DNS lookups? It does not look normal for me... May it be the dd-trace library itself attempting to resolve current host name to the ip address?
