Une « mauvaise configuration du routeur »

Octave Klaba explique que face à une hausse du nombre d’attaques informatiques par déni de service (DDoS), l’hébergeur a décidé d’ajouter de nouvelles infrastructures pour faire face à la surcharge de trafic dans son centre de données de Vint Hill. "Une mauvaise configuration du routeur a provoqué la panne du [réseau]", détaille-t-il.

Cet incident survient à un moment crucial pour l’entreprise, qui doit entrer en Bourse vendredi.

How to enable #HTTP/2 support in #Apache

Starting from Apache 2.4.27, the Apache MPM (Multi-Processing Module) prefork no longer supports HTTP/2.To fix this, select a different MPM: event or worker. We highly recommend you to use the event prefork.
If you are using PHP, it is likely that PHP is integrated to Apache via the mod_php module, which requires the prefork MPM. If you switch out from preform MPM, you will need to use PHP as FastCGI. To switch to php-fpm, you can do as folllwing.

Don’t you just hate it when APIs are failing and you have absolutely no clue why? Now imagine you don’t have access to the VM, cluster or container where your software is running. Want me to continue with this nightmare?Yes, that’s what debugging AWS Lambda functions tends to seem like. A horrid nightmare of not knowing what is happening nor why things are failing. This article will show you a way of logging function invocations.

Observability Without Having to Break the Bank
▻https://hackernoon.com/observability-without-having-to-break-the-bank-7ebbc861245f?source=rss--

To run a #serverless application in production reliably, you need to be able to debug issues quickly. You need to have good observability, and having structured logs is a big part of that. They allow you to capture useful contextual information with each log message.But observability comes with a cost.The ProblemCloudWatch Logs charges $0.50 for per GB of data ingested, and $0.03 per GB per month for storage. As such, it’s common for companies to spend more on CloudWatch Logs than Lambda invocations in their production environment. Best practices such as using structured logs further exasperate the cost associated with logging.Furthermore, with #aws Lambda, it’s no longer possible to rely on agents to collect and publish observability data such as custom metrics and traces. Instead, you have (...)

Comparing AWS Lambda and NuclioWith #serverless, you delegate the responsibility of running your infrastructure to a platform provider as much as possible. This frees your engineers to focus on building what your customers want from you — the features that differentiate your business from your competitors’. For this philosophy to work, however, the platform needs to not only give you the tools to build those features, but also deliver the performance that will keep engineers satisfied.Yes, services such as AWS Lambda are powerful, but they have a number of well-documented limitations that make them unsuitable for some workloads. These include:Cold starts and high latency make them unsuitable for real-time applications that require consistent and millisecond-level response times.The (...)

I wrote a lot about cold starts of #serverless functions. The articles are full of charts and numbers which are hopefully useful but might be hard to internalize. I decided to come up with a way to represent colds starts visually.I created HTTP functions that serve geographic maps (map credit Open Street Map). The map is a combination of small square tiles; each tile is 256 by 256 pixels. My selected map view consists of 12 tiles, so 12 requests are made to the serverless function to load a single view.During each experiment, I load the map and then zoom-in three times. The very first view hits the function in a cold state. Subsequently, the zoomed views are loaded from the warm function. There is a timer next to the map which shows the total time elapsed since the beginning until the (...)

The Serverless framework is the most popular deployment framework for serverless applications. It gives you a convenient abstraction over CloudFormation and some best practices out-of-the-box:Filters out dev dependencies for Node.js function.Update deployment packages to S3, which lets you work around the default 50MB limit on deployment packages.Enforces a consistent naming convention for functions and APIs.But our serverless applications is not only about Lambda functions. We often have to deal with share resources such as VPCs, SQS queues and RDS databases. For example, you might have a centralised Kinesis stream to capture all applications events in the system. In this case, the stream doesn’t belong to any one project and shouldn’t be tied to their deployment cycles.You still need (...)

This is a part of my “Journey with Azure” seriesI have always been fascinated by managed services and #serverless computing.

Because both AppEngine and BigQuery were fully managed services, A single person (Abhishek Nandi) was able to build the entire tech for it. Later on when Abhishek & I were building Odiocast, we used other managed services to keep things simple. FireBase, AWS Lambdas and other services allowed us to worry more about the product rather than worry about Devops as a 2 person startup.The logic is simple when you have the best technology companies willing to be your Devops team, at a cost, why would you say no?
