Delivering a Serverless API in 10 minutes using Workers

Delivering a Serverless API in 10 minutes using Workers

In preparation for Chrome’s Not Secure flag, which will update the indicator to show Not Secure when a site is not accessed over https, we wanted people to be able to test whether their site would pass. If you read our previous blog post about the existing misconceptions around using https, and preparing your site, you may have noticed a small fiddle, allowing you to test which sites will be deemed “Secure”. In preparation for the blog post itself, one of our PMs approached me asking for help making this fiddle come to life. It was a simple ask: we need an endpoint which runs logic to see if a given domain will automatically redirect to https.

The logic and requirements turned out to be very simple:
Make a serverless API endpoint
Input: domain (e.g. example.com)
Output: “secure” / “not secure”

Logic:

if http://example.com redirects to https://example.com
	Return “secure”
Else
	Return “not secure”

One additional requirement here was that we needed to follow redirects all the way; sites often redirect to http://www.example.com first, and only then redirect to https. That is an additional line of code I was prepared to handle.

3 people passed CCDE Practical/Lab exam on February 2018 from my class

3 people sent me their feedbacks after they pass February 2018 CCDE Practical/Lab exam.     Exam result was announced on May 2018 (2 to 3 months after according to new CCDE Practical exam result policy) but I couldn’t find a chance to share their results on the website.   I can’t count anymore how …

Nexthink’s digital experience management platform quickly solves performance problems

Any organization that has even a modest level of IT infrastructure does IT service monitoring (ITSM) to ensure that everything is operating within performance mandates codified in service level agreements (SLAs). If the IT organization is meeting its SLAs, it’s assumed that the experience the employee has interacting with this infrastructure is good. But that isn’t always the case, and the IT group might not even be aware.For instance, an enterprise application might be working just fine for most users, but for one or a few users in particular, it could be especially slow. Unless those people call the help desk to complain, who would ever know that they are suffering? Sometimes people just accept that some aspect of IT functions poorly, and they carry on the best they can, even if it affects their productivity.To read this article in full, please click here

NSX Cloud Blog Series Part 2: A Consistent Security Posture Across Your Hybrid Cloud

We now dig deeper into the cloud security use-case.  As more and more companies embrace cloud, the cloud IT teams are tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that these cloud deployments are secure. Cloud inherently brings in new environments, and these cloud security teams are now faced with ensuring Enterprise security policy consistency across these multiple disparate cloud environments.

 

VMware NSX Cloud addresses these challenges, offering a common security and micro-segmentation platform across the on-premises and cloud environment. Together with NSX Data Center, it provides a single pane of glass to provision and manages consistent security controls not only for cross-cloud communication but also within each cloud.

 

Let’s start with VISIBILITY. You can’t protect what you can’t see. As a cloud infrastructure/security team, you may have to manage 1 AWS cloud account (subscription in Azure) and 1 AWS VPC (VNET in Azure) … or you may be managing 500+ accounts/subscriptions, each having multiple VPCs / VNETs. As cloud deployments bring automation and higher levels of agility, the cloud footprint that you would be responsible for can quickly become large and constantly evolve. How do you ensure that this dynamic environment is secure?

Get ready for upcoming 6G wireless, too

Coinciding with a signing-off of global standardizations for the as-yet-unlaunched 5G radio technology by 3GPP this month we get news of initial development plans for faster 6G wireless. The Center for Converged TeraHertz Communications and Sensing (ComSenTer) says it’s investigating new radio technologies that will make up 6G.One hundred gigabits-per-second speeds will be streamed to 6G users with very low latency, the group says on its website.To read this article in full, please click here

BrandPost: Celebrating the Rise of 400G

Ciena Helen XenosSenior Director, Portfolio Marketing The era of 400G was in full force at OFC (The Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition), and we took some time to celebrate this milestone. Here are what our customers have to say about their 400G success – and what it means for the industry.If you needed another leading indicator that 400G is the next big thing in optical networks, look no further than the OFC ’18 conference recently held in San Diego.  The show was abuzz with vendor plans for new technologies that squeeze more bandwidth than ever down an optical channel.  These 400G-capable coherent solutions offer better system performance and tunable capacity from 100G to 400G per wavelength. To read this article in full, please click here

T-25 days until Chrome starts flagging HTTP sites as “Not Secure”

T-25 days until Chrome starts flagging HTTP sites as

Less than one month from today, on July 23, Google will start prominently labeling any site loaded in Chrome without HTTPS as "Not Secure".

Domain will be labeled "Not Secure"

When we wrote about Google’s plans back in February, the percent of sites loaded over HTTPS clocked in at 69.7%. Just one year prior to that only 52.5% of sites were loaded using SSL/TLS—the encryption protocol behind HTTPS—so tremendous progress has been made.

Unfortunately, quite a few Continue reading

IDG Contributor Network: The ‘made up’ jargon of networking

Like any industry, networking has a proprietary slew of acronyms and jargon that only insiders understand. Look no further than Network World’s searchable glossary of wireless terms.Turns out, multiplexing has nothing to do with going to the movies at a place with more than one theater.I also like to think that each networker has their own favorite list of terms, ready to share at a moment’s notice during family dinners, holidays and networking events … or maybe that’s just me?To read this article in full, please click here
