Use Microsoft Azure AI Services to analyze images, voice, documents. No AI/ML or coding skills required. Responsible AI applies by EU AI act. Formerly Cognitive Services. Course of Action What is Microsoft Azure? It is Microsoft’s public cloud platform offering broad range of products and services, including virtual machines, managed containers, databases, analytics platforms as well as AI Services. Major competitors of Azure are Amazon AWS and Google’s GCP. What are AI Services (formerly Cognitive Services)? It is a set of various services concerning recognition and analysis procedures based on already trained ML models (or even traditional programming techniques). You
I defined Docker Swarm cluster with 20 nodes and created service using Nginx HTTP server Docker image. I scaled it to 1000 container instances, which took a while on my demo hardware. Containers are up and running but to get such statistics from Portainer CE UI is quite difficult, so I suggest using CLI in such a case: I got exacly 1000 containers on my service named “nginx3”. Hardware is not so much utilized, combined 2 servers RAM usage oscillates around 50GB, load stays low as there is not much happening, so even using 20 VM and Docker containers, we
If you wonder how to automatically deploy 20 nodes of Docker Swarm and run 100 Docker containers in it, then continue reading. I will show how to achieve this by using Terraform, Ansible and Portainer. Course of action What is Docker Swarm and why I need to have 20 of these? Docker is containers toolkit utilizing cgroups, namespaces which allows to control and share resources of the CPU and operating system. Docker Swarm its a special kind of runtime mode, which allows to run multiple clustered nodes which can be separate physical computers or virtual machines. It gives us scalability
If you wonder how to automate Ubuntu virtual machine creation and then deploy it to Proxmox in multple copies, then you are looking for Packer and Terraform. Side note: going for virtual machines in Proxmox is the proper way. I tried for several days to have LXC containers working, however finally I will say that it is not the best option with lot of things going bad like cgroups, AppArmor, nesting, FUSE, ingress networking etc. There is literally too much to handle with LXC and with VM there is no such problem, so discussion end here in favour of Proxmox
On fresh installation of Ubuntu 22, using Opera for video playback can be an issue. So even after installing all things that you may think it could help – it does not work. The solution is to install chromium-ffmpeg and copy its libffmpeg.so library into Opera installation folder. Be aware that snap installation path differs in few places so check your installation. After copying ffmpeg library, just restart Opera and the video, previously not loading in LinkedIn, will work.
If you run digital services platform or critical infrastructure then most probably you are covered by NIS 2 and its requirements including those concerning information security. Even if you are not covered by NIS 2, then still you may benefit from its regulations which seem to be similar with those coming from ISO 27001. In this article I show how to automatically deploy anti-rootkit and anti-virus software for your Linux workstations and servers. TLDR By using rkhunter anti-rootkit and ClamAV anti-virus you are closer to NIS 2 and ISO 27001 and farther away from threats like cryptocurrency miners and ransomware.
