Podcasts about on premises

Het einde nadert voor een aantal belangrijke Microsoft-producten. De uitgebreide (extended) ondersteuning voor Office 2016, Office 2019, Exchange 2016 en Exchange 2019 nadert snel. Op 14 oktober valt het doek voor deze producten en een alternatief laat nog op zich wachten. Tenzij je natuurlijk naar de cloud wilt migreren. Organisaties moeten dringend hun Microsoft-software gaan upgraden, anders lopen ze het risico op beveiligingslekken en het ontbreken van technische ondersteuning. Naast Office en Exchange valt ook definitief het doek voor Windows 10. Organisaties worden gedwongen met Windows 11 te gaan werken. Dit tot vreugde van veel pc-fabrikanten, want veel desktops en laptops van drie jaar of ouder werken niet met Windows 11. Dus zullen organisaties de portemonnee moeten trekken voor nieuwe hardware.Microsoft dwingt organisaties naar de cloud Normaliter zouden organisaties al druk bezig zijn om hun nieuwe on-premises Exchange-servers in te richten en te testen. Dat is echter niet mogelijk; Microsoft heeft namelijk nog geen on-premises opvolger gereed. Die Exchange Server SE verschijnt officieel pas begin oktober, wel komt er een zogenaamde RTM-versie in juli (ready to manufacture). Pas dan kunnen organisaties, mits ze toegang hebben tot deze RTM-versie, aan de gang met een migratiepad.Organisaties die geen risico willen lopen wordt aangeraden te upgraden naar Exchange Online, het cloudproduct van Microsoft. Het lijkt erop dat Microsoft deze late release expres zo heeft gepland om klanten naar hun online dienst te forceren. Een migratievenster van 2 maanden midden in de zomervakantie is niet echt realistisch voor grote organisaties.Dit kan gaan zorgen voor de nodige problemen, zeker voor organisaties als banken, verzekeraars en overheidsinstellingen die door regelgeving niet naar de cloud mogen. Zij zijn op on-premises servers aangewezen en moeten het hiermee doen. Dat kan op termijn grote implicaties hebben, zeker als straks blijkt dat er na 14 oktober ineens grote beveiligingslekken in de 2016 of 2019 versie opduiken. Cybercriminelen zouden er zomaar baat bij kunnen hebben om nu te wachten tot na 14 oktober. Een patch komt dan mogelijk niet, of veel te laat, waardoor ze vrij spel hebben om bij grote organisaties binnen te dringen.Uiteindelijk is het doel van Microsoft om meer en meer organisaties afhankelijk te maken van de Azure-cloudomgeving. Als ze daar eenmaal inzitten is het moeilijk om weer weg te komen en gaan organisaties vaak ook meer diensten afnemen. Het is een gehaaid spelletje, waar toezichthouders maar moeilijk grip op krijgen.Alternatieven zijn er beperkt. In de cloud kan je kiezen voor Google Workspace, maar on-premises kom je al snel uit bij open source-oplossingen. Of kleinere Europese opties zoals Collabora Online. Hoewel deze alternatieven aantrekkelijk lijken voor bedrijven die hun afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse technologie willen verminderen, is de schaalbaarheid en betrouwbaarheid van deze oplossingen nog steeds een vraagteken.Dit en meer in deze aflevering van Techzine Talks.#microsoft #microsoftexchange #exchange #exchange2016 #exchange2019 #office office2016 #office2029 #endofsupport #EOL #windows10 #windows11 #microsoft365 #exchangeonline #cloud #migration #migrationwindow #cybersecurity #onpremises #security #zeroday #monopoly #azure #microsoftcloud

Analyse van #VMware Explore US, waar Broadcom voor het eerst als eigenaar van VMware het podium pakt om aan klanten, partners, media en analisten de toekomst van VMware te presenteren. De belangrijkste aankondiging lijkt VCF 9 te zijn, al kunnen we meteen de vraag stellen: is dit wel een aankondiging? Er is enorm veel veranderd bij VMware, het ooit zo succesvolle VMworld is niet meer. VMware Explore onder Broadcom is een schimp van wat het event ooit was. Met een reden, Broadcom legt de focus op een veel kleinere groep klanten, iets waar veel klanten en partners nog aan moeten wennen. In deze podcastaflevering van #Techzine Talks bespreken we de aankondigingen, de stand van zaken rondom VMware, maar belangrijker nog de visie van #Broadcom voor VCF 9. Broadcom heeft gesteld dat VCF 9 het AWS voor on-premise moet worden. De vraag is nu of ze daar ook waar kunnen maken en of klanten daar ook op zitten te wachten? Meer in deze aflevering.

The migration to the cloud accelerated with more focus on security resulting from COVID remote working. One might say that the rest of the market was starting to focus on what Versa had started developing in 2012. Kelly Ahuja Kelly Ahuja, CEO of Versa Networks discusses with Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR Publication, how Versa Networks was integrating the Security, Cloud and On-Premises 7 years before the Pandemic. Kelly is very excited about the single platform VOS solution with security built in the network. With SASE implementations accelerating, BlackRock validated their vision of an integrated single platform solution to address the Cloud  migration issues. With the VOS system, customers can connect users, devices, and sites while protecting all of them from anywhere to any application or workflow in any cloud. Listen in as Kelly continues with more details on their solution, where they see the most activity with the SASE technology, and where they will apply the BlackRock funding. To simplify and secure your business. In 2012, they saw that forward-thinking enterprises and service providers were becoming concerned about their ongoing reliance on legacy network hardware and complex, static WAN architectures that prohibited their organizations from digitizing their business and embracing the cloud. They saw the need to converge and integrate in the cloud and on-premises security, networking, and analytics within a single software operation system (VOS). This, combined with a single-pass parallel processing architecture, was necessary to decrease latency, increase performance, improve security, reduce complexity, and enhance visibility network-wide.

Wir beginnen mit 30 Jahren ThinkPads, schlagen einen Bogen über Linux, und landen am Ende bei der Frage: Cloud vs. On-Premise. Diese Frage hat auch der Engineering Kiosk gestellt und wir freuen uns unsere Sicht auf dieses komplexe Thema teilen zu können. Viel Spaß! :) btw: On-Premise oder On-Premises?? ;)

Special Thanks to our podcast sponsor, Obsidian Security.   We are really excited to share today's show on SaaS Security Posture Management.  Please note we have Ben Johnson stopping by the show so please stick around and enjoy.  First let's go back to the basics: Today most companies have already begun their journey to the cloud.  If you are in the midst of a cloud transformation, you should ask yourself three important questions:   How many clouds are we in? What data are we sending to the cloud to help the business? How do we know the cloud environments we are using are properly configured? Let's walk through each of these questions to understand the cyber risks we need to communicate to the business as well as focus on one Cloud type that might be forecasting a major event.  First let's look at the first question.   How many clouds are we in?  It's pretty common to find organizations still host data in on premises data centers.  This data is also likely backed up to a second location just in case a disaster event occurs and knocks out the main location.  Example if you live in Florida you can expect a hurricane.  When this happens you might expect the data center to lose power and internet connectivity.  Therefore it's smart to have a backup location somewhere else that would be unlikely to be impacted by the same regional event.  We can think of our primary data center and our backup data center as an On-Premises cloud.  Therefore it's the first cloud that we encounter.   The second cloud we are likely to encounter is external.  Most organizations have made the shift to using Cloud Computing Service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or Alibaba.  Each of these cloud providers has a multitude of offerings designed to help organizations reduce the need to host IT services on premises.  Now if you are using both on-premises and a cloud computing provider such as AWS, congratulations you are in what is known as a hybrid cloud environment.  If you use multiple cloud computing providers such as AWS and Azure then you are in a multi-cloud environment.  Notice the difference between terms.  Hybrid cloud means you host on premises and use an external cloud provider, whereas multi-cloud means you use multiple external cloud providers.  If you are using a Common Cloud platform like AWS, Azure, or GCP then you can look into a Gartner Magic Quadrant category known as Cloud Workload Protection Platforms.  Here you might encounter vendors like Palo Alto Prisma Cloud, Wiz, or Orca who will provide you with recommendations for your cloud configuration settings. So let's say your organization uses on premises and AWS but not Azure or GCP.  Does that mean you only have two clouds?  Probably not.  You see there's one more type of cloud hosted service that you need to understand how to defend.  The most common cloud model organizations leverage is Software as a Service commonly pronounced as (SaaS). Frankly we don't hear about SaaS security being discussed much which is why we are doing a deep dive on its security in this episode.  We think there's a real danger of SaaS clouds turning from a nice cloud that gently cools down a hot summer day into a severe weather storm that can cause an event.  So let's look at SaaS Security in more depth.   SaaS refers to cloud hosted solutions whereby vendors maintain most everything.  They run the application, they host the data, they host runtime environments, middleware, operating systems, virtualization technologies, servers, storage, and networking.  It can be a huge win to run SaaS solutions since it minimizes the need to have IT staff running all of these IT services.  Example: Hiring HVAC folks to ensure we have proper heating and cooling for servers on premises won't add new sales revenue to the business.   Now that you understand why SaaS is important you should ask yourself.  How many external SaaS providers are we sending sensitive data to?  Every company is different but most can expect to find dozens to hundreds of SaaS based solutions.  Examples of external SaaS solutions commonly encountered by most businesses include:  Service Now or Jira in use as a ticketing service,  Salesforce for customer relationship management Workday for HR information G Suite or Microsoft Office 365 in use to send emails and create important documents Github as a source code repository for developers Zoom for virtual teleconferences Slack for instant messaging like conversations Okta for Identity and Access Management Once you build out an inventory of your third parties hosted SaaS solutions, you need to understand the second question.  What kind of data is being sent to each service?  Most likely it's sensitive data.  Customer PII and PCI data might be stored in Salesforce, Diversity or Medical information for employees is stored in Workday, Sensitive Algorithms and proprietary software code is stored in GitHub, etc.  OK so if it is data that we care about then we need to ensure it doesn't get into the wrong hands.  We need to understand why we care about SaaS based security which is commonly known as SaaS Security Posture Management.  Let's consider the 4 major benefits of adopting this type of service.   Detection of Account Compromise.  Today bad actors use man in the middle attacks to trick users to give their passwords and MFA tokens to them.  These attacks also provide the session cookie credentials that allow a website to know a user has already been authenticated.  If attackers replay these session cookie credentials there's no malware on the endpoints.  This means that Antivirus and EDR tools don't have the telemetry they need to detect account compromise.  Therefore, you need log data from the SaaS providers to see anomalous activity such as changing IP addresses on the application.  Note we talked about this attack in much more detail on episode 87 From Hunt Team to Hunter with Bryce Kunze.   In addition to detecting account compromises, we see that SaaS security posture management solutions also improve detection times and response capabilities.  Let's just say that someone in your organization has their login credentials to Office 365 publicly available on the dark web.  So a bad actor finds those credentials and logs into your Office 365 environment.  Next the bad actor begins downloading every sensitive file and folder they can find.  Do you have a solution that monitors Office 365 activity for Data Loss Prevention?  If not, then you are probably going to miss that data breach.  So be sure to implement solutions that both log and monitor your SaaS providers so you can improve your SaaS incident detection and response capabilities. A third benefit we have seen is improvements to configuration and compliance.  You can think of news articles where companies were publicly shamed when they lost sensitive data by leaving it in a Public Amazon S3 bucket when it should have been private.  Similarly there are settings by most SaaS solutions that need to be configured properly.  The truth is many of these settings are not secure by default.  So if you are not looking at your SaaS configurations then access to sensitive data can become a real issue.  Here's an all too common scenario.  Let's say your company hires an intern to write a custom Salesforce page that shows customer documents containing PII.  The new intern releases updates to that webpage every two weeks.  Unfortunately the intern was never trained on all of the Salesforce best practices and creates a misconfiguration that allows customer invoices to be discovered by other customers.  How long would this vulnerability be in production before it's detected by a bad actor?  If you think the answer is < 90 days, then performing yearly penetration tests is probably too slow to address the brand damage your company is likely to incur.  You need to implement a control that finds vulnerabilities in hours or days not months.  This control might notify you of compliance drift in real time when your Salesforce configuration stopped meeting a CIS benchmark.  Now you could pay a penetration testing provider thousands of dollars each week to continually assess your Salesforce environment, but that would become too cost prohibitive.  So focus on being proactive by switching from manual processes such as penetration testing to things that can be automated via tooling The fourth major benefit that we observe is proper access and privilege management. Here's one example.  For critical business applications you often need to enforce least privilege and prevent the harm that one person can cause.  Therefore, it's common to require two or more people to perform a function.  Example: One developer writes the new code for a customer facing website, another developer reviews the code to detect if there's any major bugs or glaring issues that might cause brand damage.  Having a solution that helps mitigate privilege creep ensures that developers don't increase their access.  Another example of the importance to proper access management occurs when bad employees are fired.  When a bad employee is fired, then the company needs to immediately remove their access to sensitive data and applications.  This is pretty easy when you control access via a Single Sign On solution.  Just disable their account in one place.  However many SaaS providers don't integrate with SSO/SAML.  Additionally the SaaS website is generally internet accessible so people can work from home even if they are not on a corporate VPN.  Therefore it's common to encounter scenarios where bad employees are fired and their account access isn't removed in a timely manner.  The manager probably doesn't remember the 15 SaaS accounts they granted to an employee over a 3 year time frame.  When fired employees are terminated and access isn't removed you can generally expect an audit finding, especially if it's on a SOX application.   OK so now that we talked about the 4 major drivers of SaaS Security Posture Management (detection of account compromise, improved detection and response times, improvements to configuration and compliance, and proper access and privilege management) let's learn from our guest who can tell us some best practices with implementation. Now I'm excited to introduce today's guest:  Ben Johnson Live Interview Well thanks again for taking time to listen to our show today.  We hoped you learning about the various clouds we are in (On Premises, Cloud Computing Vendors, and SaaS), Understanding the new Gartner Magic Quadrant category known as SaaS Security Posture Management.  So if you want to improve your company's ability on SaaS based services to: detect account compromise,  improve detection and response times,  improve configuration and compliance, and  proper access and privilege management  Remember if you liked today's show please take the 5 seconds to leave us a 5 star review with your podcast provider.  Thanks again for your time and Stay Safe out there.  

L'alternativa ai software cloud sono i software distribuiti nella modalità che prende il nome “on-premise” la cui traduzione letterale è: “presso la sede”.Un software on-premise, a differenza di un software cloud, viene installato in un computer (un server) che è fisicamente presente negli uffici dell'hotel. Questa modalità di distribuzione e fruizione di un software è stata lo standard fino alla metà degli anni duemila e molte software house hanno abbracciato questo paradigma tecnologico per sviluppare le proprie soluzioni.In questa puntata Marco ed Edoardo spiegheranno quali sono le principali differenze tra queste due tipologie di software. Quale sarà la soluzione più adatta per un hotel moderno??? Buon ascolto!

Eine der größten Herausforderungen in Zeiten der Multi-Cloud ist, dass Daten immer mehr über lokale Rechenzentren, Colocation-Einrichtungen und öffentliche Clouds verteilt sind. Die fehlende Konsistenz zwischen diesen Umgebungen führt zu erhöhten Kosten, aber auch Compliance- und Governance-Problemen. Wie erreicht man ein konsistentes Storage und Data Management von On-Premises bis hin zu den verschiedenen Clouds? Das Interview von OLiver Schonschek, News-Analyst Insider Research, mit Dr. Stephan Michard von Dell Technologies liefert Antworten.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of CISO Tradecraft, the podcast that provides you with the information, knowledge, and wisdom to be a more effective cybersecurity leader.  My name is G. Mark Hardy, and today we're going to try to balance the impossible equation of better, faster, and cheaper.  As always, please follow us on LinkedIn, and subscribe if you have not already done so. Shigeo Shingo, who lived from 1909-1990, helped to improve efficiency at Toyota by teaching thousands of engineers the Toyota Production System, and even influenced the creation of Kaizen.  He wrote, "There are four purposes for improvement: easier, better, faster, cheaper. These four goals appear in order of priority." Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, stated that, “Every company is a software company.  You have to start thinking and operating like a digital company.  It's no longer just about procuring one solution and deploying one solution… It's really you yourself thinking of your own future as a digital company, building out what we refer to as systems of intelligence.” The first time I heard this I didn't really fully understand it.  But after reflection it makes a ton of sense.  For example, let's say your company couldn't send email.  How much would that hurt the business?  What if your company couldn't use Salesforce to look up customer information?  How might that impact future sales?  What if your core financial systems had database integrity issues?  Any of these examples would greatly impact most businesses.  So, getting high-quality software applications that enable the business is a huge win. If every company is a software or digital company, then the CISO has a rare opportunity.  That is, we can create one of the largest competitive advantages for our businesses. What if we could create an organization that builds software cheaper, faster, and better than all of our competitors? Sounds good right?  That is the focus of today's show, and we are going to teach you how to excel in creating a world class organization through a focused program in Secure Software Development.  Now if you like the sound of better, faster, cheaper, as most executives do, you might be thinking, where can I buy that?  Let's start at the back and work our way forward. We can make our software development costs cheaper by increasing productivity from developers. We can make our software development practices faster by increasing convenience and reducing waste. We can make our software better by increasing security. Let's first look at increasing productivity.  To increase productivity, we need to under    stand the Resistance Pyramid.  If you know how to change people and the culture within an organization, then you can significantly increase your productivity.  However, people and culture are difficult to change, and different people require different management approaches. At the bottom of the pyramid are people who are unknowing.  These individuals Don't know what to do.  You can think of the interns in your company.  They just got to your company, but don't understand what practices and processes to follow.  If you want to change the interns, then you need to communicate what is best practice and what is expected from their performance.  Utilize an inquiry approach to decrease fear of not knowing, for example, "do you know to whom I should speak about such-and-such?" or "do you know how we do such-and-such here?"  An answer of "no" allows you to inform them of the missing knowledge in a conversational rather than a directional manner. The middle part of the pyramid is people who believe they are unable to adapt to change.  These are individuals that don't know how to do the task at hand.  Here, communications are important, but also skills training.  Compare your team members here to an unskilled labor force -- they're willing to work but need an education to move forward.  If you give them that, then the unskilled can become skilled. However, if you never invest in them, then you will not increase your company's productivity and lowers your costs. At the Top of the resistance pyramid are the people who are unwilling.  These individuals Don't Want to Change.  We might call these folks the curmudgeons that say we tried it before, and it doesn't work.  Or I'm too old to learn that.  If you want to change these individuals and the culture of an organization, then you need to create motivation. As leaders, our focus to stimulate change will be to focus on communicating, educating, and motivating.  The first thing that we need to communicate is the Why.  Why is Secure Software Development important?  The answer is money.  There are a variety of studies that have found that when software vulnerabilities get detected in the early development processes, they are cheaper than later in the production phases.  Research from the Ponemon Institute in 2017 found that the average cost to address a defect in the development phase was $80, in the build phase was $240, in the QA/Test Phase was $960, and in the Production phase was $7,600.  Think of that difference.  $80 is about 1% of $7,600.  So if a developer finds bugs in the development code then they don't just save their time, they save the time of second developer who doesn't have to do a failed code review, they save the time of an infrastructure engineer who has to put the failed code on a server, they save the time of another tester who has to create regression tests which fail, they save the time of a wasted change approval board on a failed release, and they save the customer representatives time who will respond to customers when the software is detected as having issues.  As you see there's a lot of time to be saved by increasing productivity, as well as a 99% cost savings for what has to be done anyway.  Saving their own time is something that will directly appeal to every development team member. To do this we need to do something called Shift Left Testing.  The term shift left refers to finding vulnerabilities earlier in development.  To properly shift left we need to create two secure software development programs. The first program needs to focus on is the processes that an organization needs to follow to build software the right way.  This is something you have to build in house.  For example, think about how you want software to create a network diagram that architects can look at in your organization.  Think about the proper way to register an application into a Configuration Management Database so that there is a POC who can answer questions when an application is down.  Think about how a developer needs to get a DNS entry created for new websites.  Think about how someone needs to get a website into the various security scanning tools that your organization requires (SAST, DAST, Vuln Management, Container Scanning, etc.)  Think about how developers should retire servers at the end of life.  These practices are unique to your company.  They may require a help desk ticket to make something happen or if you don't have a ticketing system, an email.  We need to document all of these into one place where they can be communicated to the staff members who will be following the processes.  Then our employee has a checklist of activities they can follow.  Remember if it's not in the checklist, then it won't get done.  If it doesn't get done, then bad security outcomes are more likely happen.  So, work with your architects and security gurus to document all of the required practices for Secure Software Development in your company.  You can place this knowledge into a Wikipedia article, a SharePoint site, a Confluence Page, or some kind of website.  Make sure to communicate this frequently.  For example, have the CIO or CISO share it at the IT All Hands meeting.  Send it out in monthly newsletters.  Refer to it in security discussions and architecture review boards.  The more it's communicated the more unknowing employees will hear about it and change their behavior. The second program that you should consider building is a secure code training platform.  You can think of things such as Secure Code Warrior, HackEDU (now known as Security Journey), or Checkmarx Code Bashing.  These secure code training solutions are usually bought by organizations instead of being created in-house.  They teach developers how to write more secure code.  For example, "How do I write JavaScript code that validates user input, sanitizes database queries, and avoids risky program calls that could create vulnerabilities in an application?"  If developers gain an education in secure programming, then they are less likely to introduce vulnerabilities into their code.  Make these types of training programs available to every developer in your company. Lastly, we need to find a way to motivate the curmudgeons.  One way to do that is the following:Let's say you pick one secure coding platform and create an initial launch.  The first two hundred people in the organization that pass the secure developer training get a one-time bonus of $200.  This perk might get a lot of people interested in the platform.  You might even get 10-20% of your organization taking the training in the first quarter of the program.  The second quarter your organization announces that during performance reviews anyone who passed the secure software training will be viewed more favorable than their peers.  Guess what?  You will see more and more people taking the training class.  Perhaps you see that 50% of your developer population becomes certified.  Then the following year you say since so many developers are now certified, to achieve the rank of Senior Developer within the organization, it is now expected to pass this training.  It becomes something HR folks look for during promotion panels.  This gradual approach to move the ball in training can work and has been proven to increase the secure developer knowledgebase. Here's a pro tip:  Be sure to create some kind of badges or digital certificates that employees can share.  You might even hand out stickers upon completion that developers can proudly place on their laptops.  Simple things like this can increase visibility.  They can also motivate people you didn't think would change. Now that we have increased productivity from the two development programs (building software the right way and a secure code training platform), it's time to increase convenience and reduce waste.  Do you know what developers hate?  Well, other than last-minute change requests.  They hate inefficiencies.  Imagine if you get a vulnerability that says you have a bug on line 242 in your code.  So you go to the code, and find there really isn't a bug, it's just a false positive in the tool.  This false bug detection really, well, bugs developers.  So, when your organization picks a new SAST, DAST, or IAST tool, be sure to test the true and false positive rates of the tool.  One way to do this is to run the tools you are considering against the OWASP Benchmark.  (We have a link to the OWASP Benchmark in our show notes.)  The OWASP Benchmark allows companies to test tools against a deliberately vulnerable website with vulnerable code.  In reality, testing tools find both good code and bad code.  These results should be compared against the ground truth data to determine how many true/false positives were found.  For example, if the tool you choose has a 90% True Positive Rate and a 90% False Positive Rate then that means the tool pretty much reports everything is vulnerable.  This means valuable developer time is wasted and they will hate the tool despite its value.  If the tool has a 50% True Positive Rate and a 50% False positive rate, then the tool is essentially reporting randomly.  Once again, this results in lost developer confidence in the tool.  You really want tools that have high True Positive Rates and low False Positive Rates.  Optimize accordingly. Another developer inefficiency is the amount of tools developers need to leverage.  If a developer has to log into multiple tools such as Checkmarx for SAST findings, Qualys for Vulnerability Management findings, Web Inspect for DAST findings, Prisma for Container Findings, Truffle Hog for Secrets scanning, it becomes a burden.  If ten systems require two minutes of logging in and setup each that's twenty minutes of unproductive time.  Multiply that time the number of developers in your organization and you can see just how much time is lost by your team just to get setup to perform security checks.  Let's provide convenience and make development faster.  We can do that by centralizing the security scanning results into one tool.  We recommend putting all the security findings into a Source Code Repository such as GitHub  or GitLab.  This allows a developer to log into GitHub every day and see code scanning vulnerabilities, dependency vulnerabilities, and secret findings in one place.  This means that they are more likely to make those fixes since they actually see them.  You can provide this type of view to developers by buying tools such as GitHub Advanced Security.  Now this won't provide all of your security tools in one place by itself.  You still might need to show container or cloud findings which are not in GitHub Advanced Security.  But this is where you can leverage your Source Code Repository's native CI/CD tooling.  GitHub has Actions and GitLab has Runners.  With this CI/CD function developers don't need to go to Jenkins and other security tools.  They can use a GitHub Actions to integrate Container and Cloud findings from a tool like Prisma.  This means that developers have even fewer tools from CI/CD perspectives as well less logging into security tools.  Therefore, convenience improves.  Now look at it from a longer perspective.  If we get all of our developers integrating with these tools in one place, then we can look in our GitHub repositories to determine what vulnerabilities a new software release will introduce.  This could be reviewed at Change Approval Board.  You could also fast track developer who are coding securely.  If a developer has zero findings observed in GitHub, then that code can be auto approved for the Change Approval.  However, if you have high/critical findings then you need manager approvals first.  These approvals can be codified using GitHub code scanning, which has subsumed the tool Looks Good To Me (LGTM), which stopped accepting new user sign-ups last week (31 August 2022).  This process can be streamlined into DevSecOps pipelines that improve speed and convenience when folks can skip change approval meetings. Another key way we can make software faster is by performing value stream mapping exercises.  Here's an example of how that reduces waste.  Let's say from the time Nessus finds a vulnerability there's actually fifteen steps that need to occur within an organization to fix the vulnerability.  For example, the vulnerability needs to be assigned to the right team, the team needs to look at the vulnerability to confirm it's a legitimate finding, a patch needs to be available, a patch needs to be tested, a change window needs to be available, etc.  Each of these fifteen steps take time and often require different handoffs between teams.  These activities often mean that things sit in queues.  This can result in waste and inefficiencies.  Have your team meet with the various stakeholders and identify two time durations.  One is the best-case time for how long something should go through in an optimal process.  The second is the average time it takes things to go through in the current process.  At the end of it you might see that the optimal case is that it takes twenty days to complete the fifteen activities whereas the average case takes ninety days.  This insight can show you where you are inefficient.  You can identify ways to speed up from ninety to twenty days.  If you can do this faster, then developer time is gained.  Now, developers don't have to wait for things to happen.  Making it convenient and less wasteful through value stream mapping exercises allows your teams to deploy faster, patch faster, and perform faster. OK last but not least is making software better by increasing security.   At the end of the day, there are many software activities that we do which provide zero value to the business.  For example, patching operating systems on servers does not increase sales.  What makes the sales team sell more products?  The answer is more features on a website such as product recommendations, more analysis of the data to better target consumers, and more recommendations from the reporting to identify better widgets to sell.  Now, I know you are thinking, did CISO Tradecraft just say to not patch your operating systems?  No, we did not.  We are saying patching operating systems is not a value-add exercise.  Here's what we do recommend.  Ask every development team to identify what ike patching.  Systems that have a plethora of maintenance activities are wasteful and should be shortlisted for replacement.  You know the ones: solutions still running via on-premises VMWare software, software needing monthly java patching, and software if the wind blows the wrong way you have an unknown error.  These systems are ripe for replacement.  It can also be a compelling sell to executives.  For example, imagine going to the CIO and CEO of Acme corporation.  You highlight the Acme app is run by a staff of ten developers which fully loaded cost us about $250K each.  Therefore, developing, debugging, and maintaining that app costs our organization roughly $2,500,000 in developer time alone plus hosting fees.  You have analyzed this application and found that roughly 80% of the time, or $2,000,000, is spent on maintenance activities such as patching. You believe if the team were to rewrite the application in a modern programming language using a serverless technology approach the team could lower maintenance activities from 80% to 30%.  This means that the maintenance costs would decrease from $2 million to $750K each year.  Therefore, you can build a financial case that leadership fund a $1.25 million initiative to rewrite the application in a more supportable language and environment, which will pay for itself at the end of the second year.  No, I didn't get my math wrong -- don't forget that you're still paying the old costs while developing the new system.) Now if you just did a lift and shift to AWS and ran the servers on EC-2 or ECS, then you still have to patch the instance operating systems, middle ware, and software -- all of which is a non-value add.  This means that you won't reduce the maintenance activities from 80% to 30%.  Don't waste developer time on these expensive transition activities; you're not going to come out ahead.  Now let's instead look at how to make that maintenance go away by switching to a serverless approach.  Imagine if the organization rewrote the VMware application to run on either: A third party hosted SaaS platform such as Salesforce or Office 365 or A serverless AWS application consisting of Amazon S3 buckets to handle front-end code, an Amazon API Gateway to make REST API calls to endpoints, AWS Lambda to run code to retrieve information from a Database, and Dynamo DB to store data by the application This new software shift to a serverless architecture means you no longer have to worry about patching operating systems or middleware.  It also means developers don't spend time fixing misconfigurations and vulnerabilities at the operating system or middleware level.  This means you made the software more secure and gave the developers more time to write new software features which can impact the business profitability.  This serverless approach truly is better and more secure.  There's a great story from Capital One you can look up in our show notes that discusses how they moved from EC-2 Servers to Lambda for their Credit Offers Application Interface.  The executive summary states that the switch to serverless resulted in 70% performance gains, 90% cost savings, and increased team velocity by 30% since time was not spent patching, fixing, and taking care of servers.  Capital One uses this newfound developer time to innovate, create, and expand on business requirements.  So, if you want to make cheaper, faster, and better software, then focus on reducing maintenance activities that don't add value to the business. Let's recap.  World class CISOs create a world class software development organization.  They do this by focusing on cheaper, faster, and better software. To perform this function CISOs increase productivity from developers by creating documentation that teaches developers how to build software the right way as well as creating a training program that promotes secure coding practices.  World Class CISOs increase the convenience to developers by bringing high-confidence vulnerability lists to developers which means time savings in not weeding out false positives.  Developers live in Source Code Repositories such as GitHub or GitLab, not the ten different software security tools that security organizations police.  World Class CISOs remove waste by performing value stream exercises to lean out processes and make it easier for developers to be more efficient.  Finally, World Class CISOs make software better by changing the legacy architecture with expensive maintenance activities to something that is a winnable game.  These CISOs partner with the business to focus on finding systems that when re-architected to become serverless increase performance gains, promote cost savings, and increase developer velocity. We appreciate your time listening to today's episode.  If this sparks a new idea in your head. please write it down, share it on LinkedIn and tag CISO Tradecraft in the comment.  We would love to see how you are taking these cyber lessons into your organization to make better software for all of us. Thanks again for listening to CISO Tradecraft.  This is G. Mark Hardy, and until next time, stay safe out there.

The debate between using a single cloud vs a multi-cloud has long been a holy war in the industry. On this episode, we discuss how developers and organizations should focus their energies for successful business outcomes with our guest Josh Atwell, Sr. Technology Advocate at Splunk.

In this episode, we take Azure Migrate for a lap around On-Premises. It's a tool, but also a collection of guides and wizards to help you migrate your local On-Premises assets to Azure - rather easily. We talk about the process, the requirements, the supported source data, and how it all turned out during a test run.

Data awareness and visibility continues to be one of the hurdles organizations encounter after adopting a hybrid-cloud strategy. On this episode of the Go Your Way podcast, we discuss these challenges with Josh Atwell, Sr. Technology Advocate at Splunk. Josh shares his industry experience, from containers to cloud to DevOps, to highlight the opportunity.

Not all data migrations to the cloud look alike and often times that means that data need to be accesible to where it can drive the most value. On this episode, we discuss how data portability and migration can play a critical role in how you architect your data strategy with industry veteran Mark Thiele, founder and CEO of Edgevana.

In the first episode of this series about upgrade strategies for Microsoft Dynamics GP customers, Karen Riordan of Menlo Technologies and Peter Joeckel of TurnOnDynamics joined us to discuss the wide-ranging the experiences of these organizations and varied viewpoints they hold today when it comes to the much-hyped promise of moving from on-prem ERP to Dynamics 365 Business Central in the cloud. On this second episode, we go deeper on the needs of GP customers today. The tens of thousands of GP customers in the world are a diverse group. Some have watched carefully as Microsoft and other vendors have released their new generation of ERP solutions, while others need someone to come in and start from the beginning on what cloud is all about. Peter and Karen agree that GP customers should expect their partners to take a consultative approach rather than acting as an extension of their IT team. And they discuss some of the signs that a company is a good candidate for moving to pure cloud ERP as opposed to some other alternative. Show Notes: 1:00 - When talking about upgrades, why talk about the GP market's decisions? 4:30 - Why don't companies have a great understanding of what a newer ERP system can do for their businesses? 6:30 - The challenge of taking a consultative approach rather than a technical approach to ERP discussions 10:30 - Signs that an organization really needs to consider a new ERP 15:30 - What roles or groups tend to support new technology investments and why is there resistance in other areas? 19:30 - Distinguishing between different types of GP deployments and why the broad use means different future needs 22:30 - Why executive vision is the critical foundation to enterprise application investments, both for the organization and the success of an implementation partner. 24:30 - How coronavirus has impacted the ERP and broader IT priorities of organizations.

Editor's Note: This episode is sponsored by DXC Technology Organizations with on-premises Dynamics ERP or Dynamics CRM solutions probably understand that moving those workloads to the cloud requires planning. But with so many variables, no two cloud journeys are exactly the same. Today's podcast guests, Chris Lavelle and Heather Palmieri from DXC Technology, join Microsoft MVP Rick McCutcheon to share their experiences planning and delivering cloud migrations of various types. The process always starts with a conversation to understand the business goals and the current application environment, Lavelle and Palmieri explain. Listen in as our guests discuss their experiences working with customers to move a Dynamics ERP or CRM solution to the cloud and what kinds of plans, expectations, and decisions lead to success. If you have questions you can get in touch with our DXC guests at dxcexclipse@dxc.com or by calling: +1 877-651-6193. Show Notes: 3:00 - How to start the conversation 5:00 - Who on the user side needs to be involved in the process from the start? 6:15 - How can an organization estimate the time their migration will  take? 7:45 - Following a project planning methodology to develop a fact-based approach 10:30 - Why legacy system migration usually includes unknowns that make expectation management a challenge 15:15 - Estimating the time required of the end user organization to keep a cloud migration moving forward 17:45 - How to prepare your organization for the commitment required on a cloud project. 19:30 - Supporting an organization's ERP or CRM usage after moving to the cloud 21:15 - How to use cloud migration as an inflection point for our business

This is a special episode, with me I had Andre Almar and we had the honor to interview Justin Garrison and talk a lot about Cloud Native, Immutable infrastructure and much more.Questions:We have been talking about and implementing Cloud Native Infrastructure for some time, an immutable part of the infrastructure and a game changer in my opinion. What’s the core of Cloud Native Infrastructure, in your opinion?What is the importance to distinguish between “infrastructure as code” and “infrastructure as software”?What do you think about immutable infrastructure point-to-point, when you run IAAS, K8s, Docker etc.It is feasible to think that we can achieve Cloud Native Infrastructure in On-Premises environments? If so, how to do that?Our architecture increasingly becomes more complicated and we always need more. What do you think about the cloud SAAS offers ?I’ve seen more and more people saying that they are adopting Cloud Native Architecture and microservices. What is the weakest spot, or the security point, that everyone should double check?I’m already running a Cloud Native Infrastructure with Cloud Native apps deployed on it. What are the next steps? I mean in terms of evolution of my Cloud Native stack.How hard it was to write the Cloud Native Infrastructure Book?For the recommendations of the week we have:André: Cloud Native Infrastructure (by Justin Garrison, Kris Nova)Justin: Understand the basics, how an ip address and all the network layers works.João: Relax with Sharknado!That’s all folks, don’t forget to share! #kubicastAvailable on your favorite player: Spotify, Overcast, Itunes ou RadioPublic.

A deep dive on Azure data services as part of Azure Arc. This provides a central way to provision, then manage your SQL or PostgreSQL databases whether it sits in your datacenter, in Azure, or in other Clouds.

There is no better person to talk with about the evolution and future of communication then Jeff Lawson. We have known each other since 2008 when we met outside a Starbucks—the same year he co-founded Twilio. He was one of the original product managers for Amazon Web Services (AWS), heavily involved in Versity, the founder of NineStar, and CTO of StubHub. He could be described as a serial inventor and early on recognized the need for communication systems. I believe Jeff truly embodies the best of Silicon Valley. His goal with his work is to help bring out the full span of human potential and allowing people to be innovators. An Application Programming Interface (API) allows developers to enable their ideas to see the light of day. Listen to our conversation as we cover Jeff's beginnings and company, our innate need as humans to communicate, and the future of connectedness. Outline of This Episode [0:25] Introduction of Jeff Lawson, the founder and CEO of Twilio [6:50] The evolution of communication [9:36] Mid-90's AT&T ad campaign [12:10] Communication and connectedness - response to the below issue [15:20] Om left Facebook because of what it's become [16:41] What does the future of connectedness look like? [18:40] Ethical Considerations in the tech industry [23:30] Conversation about Twilio becoming a publicly traded company [29:33] The impact of Amazon on the Software Industry The evolution of communication and its impact on culture I believe the need for humans to be able to interact and communicate with each other is as visceral as the need for food and shelter. We communicate every moment of our lives in some way or another. A hundred years ago no one would believe the communication technology we have today would be possible. Speaking with someone consisted of face-to-face conversations and perhaps writing letters. Soon, telegrams and radio became modes of communication. This eventually gave way to the telephone—people began to connect over long distances as easily as they could in person. In the last 15 years alone the means of communication have expanded in ways never imagined. Texting, web chats, emails, VOIP, and even FaceTime have sprung up, giving new life to a world where just a century earlier only had the simplest means of communication. This has truly allowed us to build relationships with family members halfway around the world. Not only can we communicate, we can see and hear them. If you listen to this episode, we discuss some of the technological communication advances that AT&T predicted in a 1990's ad campaign that have now come to life. Social media was created to build communication, but does it inhibit it? In the current world of Facebook and Instagram, we must consider whether these products meant to connect people are evolving beyond connectedness to consumerism. Are we talking past each other and not truly listening? Are we confusing conversation with human connection? So often when we are on social media we find ourselves arguing with people we don't know, trying to make a point, or looking at meaningless content. In a world where we value communication, are we losing our ability to actually connect? I think we have met at a point where companies such as Facebook and Twitter have become media outlets. Their purpose is to draw us in and keep us glued to their site. They've brought in advertising, inaccurate news is running rampant, and we are always being sold something. We are using social media under the guise of connecting with loved ones—but we must make it worthy of our time and engagement. We must consider ethics as the tech world is evolving We are recognizing that technology has the ability to manipulate the human mind at a chemical level. Just let that sink in for a moment. We can essentially hack the brainstem and influence people to do what we are asking of them. Tech is addictive and the more we begin to realize the power that comes with that, the closer I believe we will get to government regulation. We need to make a return to the idea that technology is created to enrich our lives, not take them over. I believe we have the capacity to move more towards ethical decision making when we are writing software. Technology is growing at breakneck speed, with many wonderful benefits. But it seems there is always a cost to society. Jeff and I discuss in detail some pros and cons of capitalism and consumerism. Please, keep listening. It's all about lowering barriers and speeding up Innovation 11 years ago, Jeff had left Amazon but completely recognizes that his work there helped create a movement. Their platform sped up innovation and lowered the barriers for new developers. The industry is evolving from an On-Premises model to Software as a service (Saas). Now, Jeff believes we are entering a whole new era of software—a Platform Business Model.  Amazon is the fastest growing software company in history—and they don't sell software at all. They're selling infrastructure on a per use basis. They're restructuring every major category of software and breaking it down into their fundamental building blocks. The world can rebuild these in a way they need them to work. Jeff is very passionate about building software that allows the world to communicate in a meaningful way. Listen to the whole episode as we talk about these topics in depth and what the future of communication looks like and how it will continue to evolve.  Resources & People Mentioned Twilio Amazon Web Services (AWS) AT&T Connect with Jeff Lawson LinkedIn Twitter Connect With Om www.Om.co Om on Twitter: @Om Om on Instagram: @Om Subscribe to THE OM SHOW on Apple Podcasts

Configure where SharePoint's site data is stored and where individual users' OneDrive files reside with Multi-Geo capabilities in Office 365 SharePoint Online, now generally available. If you already use Office 365 Multi-Geo, you'll learn how to make content moves and get details on its updates. Multi-Geo in Office 365 is all about controlling data residency in regions or countries of your choice. In SharePoint on-premises Multi-Geo deployments are typically extensive and a resource-intensive undertaking.

Seit vielen Jahren stehen Enterprise IT und Systemhäuser in Abhängigkeit zueinander. Daran ändern auch Spielarten wie Outsourcing, Managed Services und Cloud nichts. Statt Buzzword-Diskussionen über On-Premises, Cloud oder IaaS braucht echter Wandel ein Umdenken in den Köpfen und die Anpassung des Delivery Models zu Software as a Service.

OpenBSD 6.3 and DragonflyBSD 5.2 are released, bug fix for disappearing files in OpenZFS on Linux (and only Linux), understanding the FreeBSD CPU scheduler, NetBSD on RPI3, thoughts on being a committer for 20 years, and 5 reasons to use FreeBSD in 2018. Headlines OpenBSD 6.3 released Punctual as ever, OpenBSD 6.3 has been releases with the following features/changes: Improved HW support, including: SMP support on OpenBSD/arm64 platforms vmm/vmd improvements: IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements Generic network stack improvements Installer improvements Routing daemons and other userland network improvements Security improvements dhclient(8) improvements Assorted improvements OpenSMTPD 6.0.4 OpenSSH 7.7 LibreSSL 2.7.2 DragonFlyBSD 5.2 released Big-ticket items Meltdown and Spectre mitigation support Meltdown isolation and spectre mitigation support added. Meltdown mitigation is automatically enabled for all Intel cpus. Spectre mitigation must be enabled manually via sysctl if desired, using sysctls machdep.spectremitigation and machdep.meltdownmitigation. HAMMER2 H2 has received a very large number of bug fixes and performance improvements. We can now recommend H2 as the default root filesystem in non-clustered mode. Clustered support is not yet available. ipfw Updates Implement state based "redirect", i.e. without using libalias. ipfw now supports all possible ICMP types. Fix ICMPMAXTYPE assumptions (now 40 as of this release). Improved graphics support The drm/i915 kernel driver has been updated to support Intel Coffeelake GPUs Add 24-bit pixel format support to the EFI frame buffer code. Significantly improve fbio support for the "scfb" XOrg driver. This allows EFI frame buffers to be used by X in situations where we do not otherwise support the GPU. Partly implement the FBIOBLANK ioctl for display powersaving. Syscons waits for drm modesetting at appropriate places, avoiding races. + For more details, check out the “All changes since DragonFly 5.0” section. ZFS on Linux bug causes files to disappear A bug in ZoL 0.7.7 caused 0.7.8 to be released just 3 days after the release The bug only impacts Linux, the change that caused the problem was not upstreamed yet, so does not impact ZFS on illumos, FreeBSD, OS X, or Windows The bug can cause files being copied into a directory to not be properly linked to the directory, so they will no longer be listed in the contents of the directory ZoL developers are working on a tool to allow you to recover the data, since no data was actually lost, the files were just not properly registered as part of the directory The bug was introduced in a commit made in February, that attempted to improve performance of datasets created with the case insensitivity option. In an effort to improve performance, they introduced a limit to cap to give up (return ENOSPC) if growing the directory ZAP failed twice. The ZAP is the key-value pair data structure that contains metadata for a directory, including a hash table of the files that are in a directory. When a directory has a large number of files, the ZAP is converted to a FatZAP, and additional space may need to be allocated as additional files are added. Commit cc63068 caused ENOSPC error when copy a large amount of files between two directories. The reason is that the patch limits zap leaf expansion to 2 retries, and return ENOSPC when failed. Finding the root cause of this issue was somewhat hampered by the fact that many people were not able to reproduce the issue. It turns out this was caused by an entirely unrelated change to GNU coreutils. On later versions of GNU Coreutils, the files were returned in a sorted order, resulting in them hitting different buckets in the hash table, and not tripping the retry limit Tools like rsync were unaffected, because they always sort the files before copying If you did not see any ENOSPC errors, you were likely not impacted The intent for limiting retries is to prevent pointlessly growing table to max size when adding a block full of entries with same name in different case in mixed mode. However, it turns out we cannot use any limit on the retry. When we copy files from one directory in readdir order, we are copying in hash order, one leaf block at a time. Which means that if the leaf block in source directory has expanded 6 times, and you copy those entries in that block, by the time you need to expand the leaf in destination directory, you need to expand it 6 times in one go. So any limit on the retry will result in error where it shouldn't. Recommendations for Users from Ryan Yao: The regression makes it so that creating a new file could fail with ENOSPC after which files created in that directory could become orphaned. Existing files seem okay, but I have yet to confirm that myself and I cannot speak for what others know. It is incredibly difficult to reproduce on systems running coreutils 8.23 or later. So far, reports have only come from people using coreutils 8.22 or older. The directory size actually gets incremented for each orphaned file, which makes it wrong after orphan files happen. We will likely have some way to recover the orphaned files (like ext4’s lost+found) and fix the directory sizes in the very near future. Snapshots of the damaged datasets are problematic though. Until we have a subcommand to fix it (not including the snapshots, which we would have to list), the damage can be removed from a system that has it either by rolling back to a snapshot before it happened or creating a new dataset with 0.7.6 (or another release other than 0.7.7), moving everything to the new dataset and destroying the old. That will restore things to pristine condition. It should also be possible to check for pools that are affected, but I have yet to finish my analysis to be certain that no false negatives occur when checking, so I will avoid saying how for now. Writes to existing files cannot trigger this bug, only adding new files to a directory in bulk News Roundup des@’s thoughts on being a FreeBSD committer for 20 years Yesterday was the twentieth anniversary of my FreeBSD commit bit, and tomorrow will be the twentieth anniversary of my first commit. I figured I’d split the difference and write a few words about it today. My level of engagement with the FreeBSD project has varied greatly over the twenty years I’ve been a committer. There have been times when I worked on it full-time, and times when I did not touch it for months. The last few years, health issues and life events have consumed my time and sapped my energy, and my contributions have come in bursts. Commit statistics do not tell the whole story, though: even when not working on FreeBSD directly, I have worked on side projects which, like OpenPAM, may one day find their way into FreeBSD. My contributions have not been limited to code. I was the project’s first Bugmeister; I’ve served on the Security Team for a long time, and have been both Security Officer and Deputy Security Officer; I managed the last four Core Team elections and am doing so again this year. In return, the project has taught me much about programming and software engineering. It taught me code hygiene and the importance of clarity over cleverness; it taught me the ins and outs of revision control; it taught me the importance of good documentation, and how to write it; and it taught me good release engineering practices. Last but not least, it has provided me with the opportunity to work with some of the best people in the field. I have the privilege today to count several of them among my friends. For better or worse, the FreeBSD project has shaped my career and my life. It set me on the path to information security in general and IAA in particular, and opened many a door for me. I would not be where I am now without it. I won’t pretend to be able to tell the future. I don’t know how long I will remain active in the FreeBSD project and community. It could be another twenty years; or it could be ten, or five, or less. All I know is that FreeBSD and I still have things to teach each other, and I don’t intend to call it quits any time soon. iXsystems unveils new TrueNAS M-Series Unified Storage Line San Jose, Calif., April 10, 2018 — iXsystems, the leader in Enterprise Open Source servers and software-defined storage, announced the TrueNAS M40 and M50 as the newest high-performance models in its hybrid, unified storage product line. The TrueNAS M-Series harnesses NVMe and NVDIMM to bring all-flash array performance to the award-winning TrueNAS hybrid arrays. It also includes the Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family of Processors and supports up to 100GbE and 32Gb Fibre Channel networking. Sitting between the all-flash TrueNAS Z50 and the hybrid TrueNAS X-Series in the product line, the TrueNAS M-Series delivers up to 10 Petabytes of highly-available and flash-powered network attached storage and rounds out a comprehensive product set that has a capacity and performance option for every storage budget. Designed for On-Premises & Enterprise Cloud Environments As a unified file, block, and object sharing solution, TrueNAS can meet the needs of file serving, backup, virtualization, media production, and private cloud users thanks to its support for the SMB, NFS, AFP, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and S3 protocols. At the heart of the TrueNAS M-Series is a custom 4U, dual-controller head unit that supports up to 24 3.5” drives and comes in two models, the M40 and M50, for maximum flexibility and scalability. The TrueNAS M40 uses NVDIMMs for write cache, SSDs for read cache, and up to two external 60-bay expansion shelves that unlock up to 2PB in capacity. The TrueNAS M50 uses NVDIMMs for write caching, NVMe drives for read caching, and up to twelve external 60-bay expansion shelves to scale upwards of 10PB. The dual-controller design provides high-availability failover and non-disruptive upgrades for mission-critical enterprise environments. By design, the TrueNAS M-Series unleashes cutting-edge persistent memory technology for demanding performance and capacity workloads, enabling businesses to accelerate enterprise applications and deploy enterprise private clouds that are twice the capacity of previous TrueNAS models. It also supports replication to the Amazon S3, BackBlaze B2, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure cloud platforms and can deliver an object store using the ubiquitous S3 object storage protocol at a fraction of the cost of the public cloud. Fast As a true enterprise storage platform, the TrueNAS M50 supports very demanding performance workloads with up to four active 100GbE ports, 3TB of RAM, 32GB of NVDIMM write cache and up to 15TB of NVMe flash read cache. The TrueNAS M40 and M50 include up to 24/7 and global next-business-day support, putting IT at ease. The modular and tool-less design of the M-Series allows for easy, non-disruptive servicing and upgrading by end-users and support technicians for guaranteed uptime. TrueNAS has US-Based support provided by the engineering team that developed it, offering the rapid response that every enterprise needs. Award-Winning TrueNAS Features Enterprise: Perfectly suited for private clouds and enterprise workloads such as file sharing, backups, M&E, surveillance, and hosting virtual machines. Unified: Utilizes SMB, AFP, NFS for file storage, iSCSI, Fibre Channel and OpenStack Cinder for block storage, and S3-compatible APIs for object storage. Supports every common operating system, hypervisor, and application. Economical: Deploy an enterprise private cloud and reduce storage TCO by 70% over AWS with built-in enterprise-class features such as in-line compression, deduplication, clones, and thin-provisioning. Safe: The OpenZFS file system ensures data integrity with best-in-class replication and snapshotting. Customers can replicate data to the rest of the iXsystems storage lineup and to the public cloud. Reliable: High Availability option with dual hot-swappable controllers for continuous data availability and 99.999% uptime. Familiar: Provision and manage storage with the same simple and powerful WebUI and REST APIs used in all iXsystems storage products, as well as iXsystems’ FreeNAS Software. Certified: TrueNAS has passed the Citrix Ready, VMware Ready, and Veeam Ready certifications, reducing the risk of deploying a virtualized infrastructure. Open: By using industry-standard sharing protocols, the OpenZFS Open Source enterprise file system and FreeNAS, the world’s #1 Open Source storage operating system (and also engineered by iXsystems), TrueNAS is the most open enterprise storage solution on the market. Availability The TrueNAS M40 and M50 will be generally available in April 2018 through the iXsystems global channel partner network. The TrueNAS M-Series starts at under $20,000 USD and can be easily expanded using a linear “per terabyte” pricing model. With typical compression, a Petabtye can be stored for under $100,000 USD. TrueNAS comes with an all-inclusive software suite that provides NFS, Windows SMB, iSCSI, snapshots, clones and replication.

I figured it must be related to the scheduler, and decided it hates me. A closer look shows the behaviour as follows (single CPU): Lets run an I/O-active task, e.g, postgres VACUUM that would continuously read from big files (while doing compute as well [1]): pool alloc free read write read write cache - - - - - - ada1s4 7.08G 10.9G 1.58K 0 12.9M 0 Now start an endless loop: while true; do :; done And the effect is: pool alloc free read write read write cache - - - - - - ada1s4 7.08G 10.9G 9 0 76.8K 0 The VACUUM gets almost stuck! This figures with WCPU in "top": PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 85583 root 99 0 7044K 1944K RUN 1:06 92.21% bash 53005 pgsql 52 0 620M 91856K RUN 5:47 0.50% postgres Hacking on kern.sched.quantum makes it quite a bit better: sysctl kern.sched.quantum=1 kern.sched.quantum: 94488 -> 7874 pool alloc free read write read write cache - - - - - - ada1s4 7.08G 10.9G 395 0 3.12M 0 PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU COMMAND 85583 root 94 0 7044K 1944K RUN 4:13 70.80% bash 53005 pgsql 52 0 276M 91856K RUN 5:52 11.83% postgres Now, as usual, the "root-cause" questions arise: What exactly does this "quantum"? Is this solution a workaround, i.e. actually something else is wrong, and has it tradeoff in other situations? Or otherwise, why is such a default value chosen, which appears to be ill-deceived? The docs for the quantum parameter are a bit unsatisfying - they say its the max num of ticks a process gets - and what happens when they're exhausted? If by default the endless loop is actually allowed to continue running for 94k ticks (or 94ms, more likely) uninterrupted, then that explains the perceived behaviour - buts thats certainly not what a scheduler should do when other procs are ready to run. 11.1-RELEASE-p7, kern.hz=200. Switching tickless mode on or off does not influence the matter. Starting the endless loop with "nice" does not influence the matter. [1] A pure-I/O job without compute load, like "dd", does not show this behaviour. Also, when other tasks are running, the unjust behaviour is not so stongly pronounced. ``` aarch64 support added I have committed about adding initial support for aarch64. booting log on RaspberryPI3: ``` boot NetBSD/evbarm (aarch64) Drop to EL1...OK Creating VA=PA tables Creating KSEG tables Creating KVA=PA tables Creating devmap tables MMU Enable...OK VSTART = ffffffc000001ff4 FDT devmap cpufunc bootstrap consinit ok uboot: args 0x3ab46000, 0, 0, 0 NetBSD/evbarm (fdt) booting ...
