How to backup essential data but not the garbage

Something as simple as how you tell your backup product which files and databases to backup can have a massive impact on your recoverability. Proper backup selection is essentially a balance between ensuring that everything that should be backed up is indeed backed up, while also trying not to backup worthless data.Physical server inclusion Virtually all backup products require some initial installation and configuration at the level of a physical server. This means that for any of the tactics mentioned in this article to work, one must first install the appropriate software and authorization on each physical server in the data center. This means every VMware or Hyper-V server (not to be confused with each VM on those servers), every physical UNIX or Windows server, and any cloud services that are being backed up. Someone must make that initial connection and authentication before the backup system can perform its magic.To read this article in full, please click here

Tech Bytes: Solving Common Network Issues With Apstra’s Intent-Based Networking (Sponsored)

Today's Tech Byte episode, sponsored by Apstra, delves into solving common network problems with Intent-Based Networking (IBN), including how a customer used Apstra AOS to troubleshoot an EVPN issue. Our Apstra guests are Sean Hafeez, VP of Product Management; and Jeff Tantsura, Head of Networking Strategy.

Project Galileo’s 6th year Anniversary: The Impact of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable groups on the Internet

Project Galileo’s 6th year Anniversary: The Impact of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable groups on the Internet

Consistent with our mission to “help build a better Internet,” Cloudflare believes that one of the most important roles for the Internet is to empower marginalized voices that may not be heard, or bring together oppressed groups of people that may otherwise find themselves isolated and alone. Six years ago, Cloudflare started Project Galileo to provide free services to vulnerable nonprofits, journalism and independent media voices online who might otherwise be in danger of being silenced by cyberattacks. Much has changed in the past couple of months as the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world while the United States faces a wave of protests addressing racial violence and inequality. These events have put further strain on vulnerable groups working in these spaces, and we have seen many organizations step up to ensure that those who are most affected by these circumstances are protected. At Cloudflare, we believe that protecting these groups from attack is essential to helping build a better Internet.

We are excited to mark the 6th anniversary of the project this month, and it is a good time for us to reflect, talk to participants, and see how the Project has grown and changed over the course of Continue reading

Example: Fully-Automated AWS Network Infrastructure Deployment

Regular readers of my blog probably remember the detailed explanations Erik Auerswald creates while solving hands-on exercises from our Networking in Public Cloud Deployments online course (previous ones: create a virtual network, deploy a web server).

This time he documented the process he went through to develop a Terraform configuration file that deploys full-blown AWS networking infrastructure (VPC, subnets, Internet gateway, route tables, security groups) and multiple servers include an SSH bastion host. You’ll also see what he found out when he used Elastic Network Interfaces (spoiler: routing on multi-interface hosts is tough).

Listen to the Hedge Podcast 39 to Learn about the Open Standards Everywhere Project

logo from the Hedge podcast episode 39 featuring Dan York and open standards everywhere

What is our Open Standards Everywhere (OSE) project all about? How did it get started? What are the project goals? What are some of the challenges web server operators face? How can we work together to make web servers more secure and available?

Recently Russ White and his team interviewed me on The Hedge Podcast Episode 39 to discuss all these questions and much more. I’ve known Russ for a good number of years and it was fun to talk with him and his co-hosts Eyvonne Sharp and Tom Ammon about all things related to the OSE project. I hope you enjoy listening to the episode as much as we enjoyed having the conversation!

Listen now

I would encourage you to listen to some of the other Hedge podcast episodes, too, as they have some great content. A few I personally enjoyed included: episode 37 about DNS privacy; episode 31 about network operator groups (NOGs); and episode 30 with Ethan Banks from the Packet Pushers Network about why understanding the fundamentals of networking is so important.

Thank you to Russ, Eyvonne, and Tom for having me on the show!
