Ask Me Anything! Increase Your Orcharhino Knowledge Ask me anything! Increase your orcharhino knowledge ATIX-Teams: Engineering, Support and Consulting 2021-03-23 CentOS 8 forks Will you also support CentOS 8 forks like AlmaLinux or RockyLinux? I Context: CentOS 8 will be deprecated at the end of 2021. I Promising alternatives: Alma Linux and RockyLinux I RC for Alma Linux: successfully deployed via orcharhino I Support: one or both for managed hosts if and when they’re stable. I Host OS for orcharhino will most likely not include CentOS 8 #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 2 What’s on the 2021/2022 roadmap? I 4 more releases this year ± 1. I summer: foreman 2.3 (with Katello in version 3.18), maintaining pulp at version 2. I upgrades concerning Application Centric deployment. I orcharhino 6.0: Pulp 3, Foreman 2.5 and Katello 4.1 I include the foreman_webhooks ⇒ replace the foreman_hooks. I 2022: EL8 base #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 3 Installation Media What is the difference between installation media and synced content? Why are they differentiated? I ”All media” → ”Installation media”: reference to an online installation medium I orcharhino copies kernel and initrd to tftp-directory I Synced content: additional function implemented in Katello I Note: synced content only available, if host is attached to fitting content source and content view #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 4 Bootable Debian repositories Are there plans to make Debian repositories in Katello directly usable for PXE/iPXE installations? I Katello 4.1 and Pulp 3 for deb content. I Timeframe: orcharhino 6.0 at the end of 2021 #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 5 IPMI/BMC Is it possible to control Bare Metal hardware via orcharhino (IPMI/BMC or the like)? I Plugin for that purpose: store the IP of the server’s management interface I Control over the power management I Complex functions as hooks I Be prepared to a future migration to Foreman webhooks! #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 6 Templates How can I customize templates and what do I need to be aware of? I Different types of templates: provisioning, reports, jobs, … I Never unlock templates! I Clone existing templates. I Tab with documentation for syntax and a some variables I Assign to the appropriate OS and select it in the operating system I Cloned templates are not updated. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 7 Templates #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 8 Errata for CentOS 7 How do I get errata for CentOS 7 if I don’t get the repositories from ATIX? Can I run an errata service locally like for Debian? I Service we offer to our customers I Not installable on premises. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 9 Fix hosts on a minor release How can I maintain hosts on a minor release of the operating system, for example RHEL 7.8 rather than upgrading to RHEL 7.9? I have the relevant repositories on the orcharhino. I publish repositories in a content view. I It is also possible to have all versions in one content view, we will split them in the next step. I In the example picture you can see some RHEL 7.x versions. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 10 Fix hosts on a minor release #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 11 Fix hosts on a minor release How can I maintain hosts on a minor release of the operating system, for example RHEL 7.8 rather than upgrading to RHEL 7.9? I Now we create an activation key to which we assign a version. I Now you can do this for every version you want to host. I With this activation key the host gets only the operating system version you set. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 12 Fix hosts on a minor release #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 13 Fix hosts on a minor release #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 14 Fix hosts on a minor release How can I maintain hosts on a minor release of the operating system, for example RHEL 7.8 rather than upgrading to RHEL 7.9? I It is possible to change the version on the host via the subscription-manager. I Changing version is also possible through the content-host page. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 15 Fix hosts on a minor release #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 16 Fix hosts on a minor release #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 17 Fix hosts on a minor release How can I maintain hosts on a minor release of the operating system, for example RHEL 7.8 rather than upgrading to RHEL 7.9? I If you never want to change the version, create a content-view with only one version I Advisable to use the ExtendetUpdateSupport repository to get updates. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 18 Fix hosts on a minor release #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 19 Group SLES repos Is there a plan to group SLES repos in the ”Products” overview? I How would you like to group repositories, on which page, and why? I Prefix products with something like ’scc_’ I Subcategories for e.g. SLES or openSUSE not feasible due to naming scheme I Tip: create a feature request to rename SCC products with prefix: ’scc_’. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 20 on_demand for SLES Will it be possible soon to also synchronize SLES repos ”on_demand” instead of ”immediate”? I Is currently not working. I This will be a feature of orcharhino 6.0. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 21 Host upgrades We manage about 3300 servers through our Orcharhino with multiple smart proxies. What is the best practice to update many hosts in a small time frame? I ”It depends”. I Group your managed hosts! I Distribute the content and the hosts over your orcharhino proxies! I Consider ansible-runner! I Perform regular upgrade to keep the overall volume small. #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 22 End Thank you for your attention! #orcharhino – #ask me anything – 23.

It sends requests from the client?s end to the server end and conveys data from the server to the client. Well, that is enough to know about the HTTP protocol if you are a regular internet user. If you are a server administrator or a network manager or host your own website on an Nginx server, you need to know more about HTTP, HTTP/2.0, and how to enable HTTP/2.0 in the Nginx server. How to manage Linux container registries | Enable Sysadmin [3] If we have a close look at LEGO® products, we can see that they are all made of the same building blocks. However, the composition of these blocks is the key differentiator for whether we are building a castle or space ship. It's pretty much the same for Podman, and its sibling projects Buildah, Skopeo, and CRI-O. However, instead of recycled plastic, the building blocks for our container tools are made of open source code. Sharing these building blocks allows us to provide rock-solid, enterprise-grade container tools.

  • Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Redhat Och Opensuse En Jämförelse Av CVE På Linux Distributioner
    Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RedHat och OpenSUSE En jämförelse av CVE på Linux distributioner Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RedHat and OpenSUSE A comparison in CVE on Linux distributions Bachelor Degree Project in Computer Science Network and Systems Administration, G2E, 22.5hp Spring term 2018 IT610G Fredrik Janson [email protected] Supervisor: Dennis Modig Examiner: Jianguo Ding Abstract Package management in Linux systems is a popular way to install and update software and the de facto standard on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RedHat, CentOS and OpenSUSE. The software provided in the repositories can however differ when it comes to fixing vulnerabilities since package maintainers in some cases must implement some specific changes to the source used to build the software to make it compatible with the Linux system it is intended to be executed on. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) standard provides a way to compare how fixes for vulnerabilities is handled on each Linux system where this work is aimed to examine if there exists different patterns when it comes to the time in days it took for a fix to emerge in the changelog for the software. This data is collected by using scripts in Linux to iterate through the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) which contains CVE entries, the severity score in terms of the impact of the vulnerability and references to which systems that the vulnerability affects. The dates are collected by using another script that iterates through the changelog of all available packages and saves the earliest date when the fix was issued. The results show that there is not enough statistical significance to reliably determine if a difference existed between the Linux distributions except when comparing OpenSUSE with Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora where significance was found which suggests that further study is needed.

Connection information for class You will receive an email containing the specific login information for your screenshare and phone bridge, as well as exact dates and times, no later than the week before the class is scheduled. If you have any further questions after reading this document, the answer may be found in the FAQ on the website: http://bit.ly/LF-FAQ or https://training.linuxfoundation.org/about/faqs/general-faq/ Specific instructions for your course will be addressed in the Appendix. Contents 1 Hardware Requirements 1 2 Networking, Screenshare and Audio or Telephone Requirements 3 3 Software Requirements 3 Appendices 5 A Course-Specific Hardware and/or Software Requirements 5 B More Details on Installing Linux 11 1 Hardware Requirements Students are expected to provide their own computers for Linux Foundation courses. The following instructions should make clear the specifics that apply to you. All courses have slightly different HW requirements. Specific HW requirements for your class can be found in the Appendix. The Linux Foundation logistical staff may be consulted as required for further clarification. 1.1 Using a Virtual Machine Instead Virtual Machines If you elect to use a Virtual Machine (instead of native Linux) bear in mind that the hard- ware requirements double, since you now need enough CPU/RAM for the host operating system as well as the guest OS. 1 1.2 Pre-Built Virtual Machine Images 2 Using a VM for this course can make things faster/easier; if you make a fatal mistake, a simple reboot of the VM will restore things to normal.
