Intel has been working in EFI/UEFI since mid 1990s, and there are vendors like HP or Apple that provided EFI machines since a long time ago. But it is when Microsoft announced Windows 8 that UEFI became the required way to boot the new certified machines. • Secure boot is an extension of UEFI. One of the key points of UEFI is that it can be extended. UEFI has an internal virtual machine that is independent of the architecture that it is using. The standard accepts special binary files compiled for this virtual machine (EFI binaries) that can be executed inside the environment. These binaries can be device drivers, applications or extensions to the UEFI standard. UEFI, in some sense, is like a small operative system that runs when the machine is powered on and whose main task is to find and load another operating system. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is meant as a replacement for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface ● Initially (1998) designed by Intel for Itanium processor ● Since 2005 managed by the Unified EFI Forum (uefi.org) Source: http://loadays.org/archives/2013/static/slides/Integrating-UEFI-into-rear.pdf Why UEFI? • BIOS has its (aging) limitations – 16-bit processes – max.

In this tutorial (Part 4), we'll bolster your knowledge of advanced Linux administration skills by covering a variety of topics including Linux filesystems, the Linux boot process, runlevels, filesystem quotas, and system logs. This tutorial is particularly appropriate for someone who may be serving as the primary sysadmin for the first time, since we cover a lot of low-level issues that all system administrators should know. If you are new to Linux, we recommend that you start with Part 1 and work through the series from there. For some, much of this material will be new, but more experienced Linux users may find this tutorial to be a great way of "rounding out" their foundational Linux system administration skills and preparing for the next LPI certification level.

  • Efficient Bare Metal Backup and Restore in Openstack Based Cloud Infrastructure Design, Implementation and Testing of a Prototype Addishiwot Tadesse
    Thesis no: MSEE-2016:36 Efficient Bare Metal Backup and Restore in OpenStack Based Cloud Infrastructure Design, Implementation and Testing of a Prototype Addishiwot Tadesse Faculty of Computing Blekinge Institute of Technology SE-371 79 Karlskrona Sweden I This thesis is submitted to the Faculty of Computing at Blekinge Institute of Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Electrical Engineering with Emphasis on Telecommunication Systems. The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies. The master thesis research was carried out at Ericsson AB in Göteborg, Sweden. Contact Information: Author: Addishiwot Tadesse E-mail: [email protected] University Supervisor Dragos Ilie(Assistant Professor) [email protected] Department of Communication Systems School of Computing BTH, Karlskrona Ericssson’s Manager Lars Samuelsson [email protected] Göteborg, Sweden Ericssson’s Supervisors: Tony Borg Senior Packet Core Verification Engineer [email protected] Göteborg, Sweden Asgrimur Olafsson Senior Packet Core Solution Engineer [email protected] Göteborg, Sweden II Abstract Cloud computing has shown remarkable growth in recent years due to its concept of computing as a service, thereby, allowing users to offload the infrastructure management costs and tasks to a cloud provider. With the rapid development of these services, data has become the most crucial resource and hence companies start building disaster recovery (DR) systems that are more vital and essential to ensure the reliability and availability of data services in the event of IT infrastructure disasters. The occurrence of an unexpected calamity in a system leading to its disruption is a disaster.
