Disaster Recovery: Strategies for Datacenter Resilience

ByPrasad

In an increasingly digital world, the preservation and availability of data is of paramount importance. Businesses and organizations rely on datacenters to store, process, and manage their vast amounts of data. However, these datacenters are not invincible; they are susceptible to a multitude of disasters, both natural and man-made. This is where the concept of disaster recovery comes into play.

Disaster recovery (DR) encompasses the policies, tools, and procedures that are implemented to enable the recovery and continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster. The primary goal of disaster recovery is to minimize downtime and data loss – two variables that can severely impact a business’s operations and reputation.

How to Load Test Microservices Before Production Launch

ByPrasad

Load testing is an essential component of the pre-production phase, with the primary objective of verifying that the system can handle expected user traffic without compromising performance or functionality. More importantly, load testing allows developers to identify and address potential bottlenecks and stability issues before they become problematic in the live environment.

Apache Log4j Vulnerability: Detection, Impact, and Resolution

ByPrasad

Apache Log4j is a Java-based logging utility used extensively in software applications to record activities and diagnose problems. Its popularity and widespread adoption have made the recent vulnerability particularly alarming. CVE-2021-45105 is a security vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely. It’s a classic example of a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability, considered one of the most dangerous types of vulnerabilities because it can provide an attacker with control over a victim’s system.

Building a Decentralised CI/CD System with GoCD and ArgoCD

ByPrasad

We describe here a software development process that leverages a unique blend of centralized and decentralized continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) systems. The CI is centralized and facilitated by open-source GoCD software, while the CD systems are decentralized and environment-specific, utilizing ArgoCD. This combination allows us to leverage the strengths of both centralized and decentralized architectures, ensuring efficient, reliable, and flexible software delivery
