Defense in depth works on the principle that you will have to find vulnerabilities in multiple heterogeneous and independent systems before you get to the prize. Reason to put wireguard as the first line of defense before ssh is because of

I would strongly urge such customers to put all such access behind a dedicated gateway via Wireguard.

by vinay_ys 4y ago
In 2022, I can't think of good reasons to run a Internet-facing ssh server. Wireguard should be your only Internet facing protocol for any private access. Once you establish a Wireguard tunnel, you can ssh to that machine if you like.

A lot of the time, the person who takes this stance tend to forget that execution matters more than the idea being objectively correct. Good "politics" is about persuading the actual people who have to own and execute that idea. T

Storage and compute separation is key to scaling data workloads. Here, scaling could be w.r.t volume/shape of data, number of concurrent jobs on the same dataset, complexity of each job etc. In such an architecture, network access is u

Yeah, this works if it is a planned cutover. If you are having to ditch your current IP network in a hurry, then this approach won't work.

Expecting an engineer to do all of this even when they are at odds with rest of the execution machinery is simply not practical. It leads to heroic behaviours and burnout. I hope this guy has a complimentary list of 50 things for other role

Yeah, right! "I can articulate precisely what problem I'm trying to solve" is not just on that person. It is a function of their collaborators – product/program/engineering managers and other engineers around them.

With private access tokens demo'ed at WWDC2022 [1] as a better replacement for captchas, this problem can be reduced to a great extent. As this becomes an IETF [2] standard that Google and Microsoft and many others will also implement,

Google has a system called plaque in which you can express DAGs of operators (functions) and it handles all the scheduling and data flow between nodes running on a distributed cluster. This achieves much better performance efficiency at lar
