This argument always comes out when someone points out how much bare metal stomps AWS. Here are some counterpoints a) A large portion of AWS hosted stuff probably doesnt need that level of sudden, burst scaling b) With something like SoftLa

Really? Why would you update it if nothing is happening....

by windowsworkstoo 10y ago
You knew exactly what was meant but just in case - you still need nominal growth to avoid negative real growth

Yes, why else would you be running SQL in a container for if not for dev....10GB is fuck all, and it's nice having multiple versions of a large test (or sanitized prod) backup available locally, which can easily be greater than 10GB

FYI you can choose to use Hyper-V containers (in which case, yes, docker is effectively orchestrating complete VM's) or use the new Container implementation, which is basically filesystem and registry isolation

Right didnt know that had found its way into standard Windows (as opposed to being a storage sapces feature or some such). In any case, its not really equivalent though, since it is only run periodically. My use case is specifically dev foc

I don't understand your question. My point is you can bake an image with the db of your choice, lets say that comes in at 50Gb. You can then run multiple instance of that image, for only 50Gb plus watever data differences are, as oppos

Multiple copies of a large base db, for free...you only pay for the data when the differences start to flow in.

C'mon now, you know what was meant...

I'll add to the chorus of alternatives - I use the Mikrotik RB1100AHx2 in many many places, they scale up quite well.
102.
by windowsworkstoo 10y ago
Definitely agree, esp with the textbooks part - a macro 101 and micro 101 book will do you well.

None, really. It's mostly filters against common types of attacks at L3/L4, then OODA. Variations from normal get looked at and custom filters applied as appropriate. And of course, there's lots of NOC to NOC back channel com

You've got two kickstands built into your body for stopping...I'm not following what the issue is.

Who's "dismounting" their bike when they stop...it's leg down or just trackstand.

I guess they are worried about total network isolation for some hosts...even if the LDAP infra is up, if there is a segment isolated and you haven't logged in for a while, cached creds won't help. That said, if it's that isol

Anything that works is a valid reason....don't overthink it.

by windowsworkstoo 10y ago
Given the target use case of this kind of system, you control what you can control, which is the infra, because the software will overwhelmingly be industry specific COTS stuff that realistically wont be changed. Further its likely that the

They are all much of a muchness....fwiw distros that ship with rsyslogd as the syslog daemon are in a good spot, since rsyslog can do sufficient routing and spooling to account for network interruption. One less thing to install. And it sup

Yep, as legit as "registry cleaners". Some of those services that are disabled will break 3rd party software in subtle and unexpected ways. Though my favourite was turning sounds off for a modest performance gain. Clearly a meme g

Really? I've no idea what that product is but I hardly think it's a "thinking" problem, more a managing expectation or shit requirements gathering problem. If it was necessary to search in a certian way over a certain si

I guess its an interesting difference right - what say a developer would consider "instant" (lets say <10ms) and what the end user is satisfied with as instant (maybe <1min)...it's interesting the tradeoffs you can make

Frankly, I'd leave it as is - I (and I'm sure lots of other opers) already have some kind of central log collection that we can alert off. Nothing more frustrating than all the various monitoring systems each with their own unique

This is nice, I can see myself using it instead of OSSEC and may have to look at making a clone for Windows, based on the equivalent APIs/tools in the ETW stack.

PerfMon != logman/xperf, which exercise the same API this guy was struggling with.
117.
by windowsworkstoo 10y ago
Yep, it's a difficult API, which has unfortunately meant the functionality, which works amazingly well, hasn't been learnt or adopted as much as it should have been. However reading this, it seems the author simply wanted to colle

Yet the same feature can be a pain in the ass as you don't control your upgrade destiny. I know, I know, git orf mah lawn! But when you see normal folks totally confused because the developer decided to "upgrade" their experi

Dont know, not familiar enough, my point was writing something because it talks in SOAP seems...petty?
120.
by windowsworkstoo 10y ago
SOAP is just a message format though, so does it matter? SAML works, so long as the implementation is good (assumption, yes)
