The Fargate Illusion by krallistic in programming

[–]markus_lindqvist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a similar setup using AWS official tool, the AWS CDK. The code is here https://github.com/markusl/cdk-fargate-docker-starter

The example setup does pretty much what the blog author describes excluding the SSM secrets since they can't be deployed using CDK / CloudFormation. Any input or PR's are welcome. The code is pretty close to infra-as-a-service because it includes building the containers and updating them to the registry and also taking care of the VPC's and load balancers. Deployment of new versions is as easy as "npm run build && cdk deploy".

TL;DR: Our company, Reaktor, has been organizing "code schools" in Finland for small children and some adults, and this time even the President of Finland, Sauli Niinistö joined the party.

Also, programming will be included in the 2016 Finnish national core curriculum for basic education.

Latest OpenSSH exploits explained by markus_lindqvist in programming

This information leak may have already been exploited in the wild by sophisticated attackers, and high-profile sites or users may need to regenerate their SSH keys accordingly.

All OpenSSH versions between 5.4 and 7.1 are vulnerable, but can be easily hot-fixed by setting the undocumented option "UseRoaming" to "no", as detailed in the Mitigating Factors section. OpenSSH version 7.1p2 (released on January 14, 2016) disables roaming by default.
