Purchased the MeasureUp practice exams today for the SC-300. After finishing the Exam Cram video last Friday, I have a decent understanding on what's on the exam. Now I'm going to focus on a few things I don't typically work with at my job and see if I can get a date set for the test.
Started John Savill's SC-300 Exam Cram video today, looking for areas I'm weak in. I've also cleared it with the boss to get reimbursed for exam purchases! Finally, I got a free Azure trial tenant setup for all the fun things. Once I get a good handle on what I do and don't need to study, I'll pick a date for the exam!
Back to the grind today. Besides normal work crap, I’m studying for the #azure SC-300. Also, I’m testing to see why #jellyfin is having a hard time transcoding files lately all of a sudden.
Die #Hochschulen begeben sich in eine selbstverschuldete Unmündigkeit, wenn ihre Öffentlichkeitsarbeiter:innen die Plattformen antidemokratischer Milliardäre bespielen, statt sich am Aufbau des Fediversums zu beteiligen – des selbstverwalteten, wirklich sozialen Netzwerks der Zukunft.
Accounts auf Mastodon-Instanzen wären ein guter 1. Schritt.
Im 2. Schritt sollten Hochschulen Fediverse-Instanzen selbst betreiben.
Ich arbeite an der #UniBielefeld in einem Team, das eine der größten wissenschaftlichen Suchmaschinen (@base) betreibt. Für einen Verein betreibe ich nebenher Fediverse-Instanzen (Mastodon und PeerTube). Gern würde ich das auch für meine Uni tun.
Auch das Rechenzentrum der Uni Bielefeld betreibt kaum Anwendungen selbst, sondern am liebsten nur leere virtuelle Maschinen. Unsere Matrix-Instanz wird von einer Fakultät für die ganze Uni betrieben. Unsere GitLab-Instanz von der Bibliothek (mir). Warum das so ist, weiß ich nicht. Aber mit etwas gutem Willen finden sich Lösungen.
Es gibt aber auch eine gegenläufige Tendenz an Hochschulen, und zwar alles Mögliche in die Cloud auszulagern, z.B. in die von Microsoft. Ich kann gar nicht sagen, wie schade ich das finde. So verlieren wir den letzten Rest digitaler Souveränität.
I must admit, this news about #Uranus and #Neptune has me shook:
"A fresh analysis of Voyager 2's images show both ice giants are in fact a similar shade of greenish blue, which is the 'most accurate representation yet' of the planets' colors, the new study finds."
A helpful blog post for those interested in using passwordless connection strings for #AzureSQL. I'm leveling up my #Azure skills! I'm finally leveraging Managed Identity! 🙂
Fucking VSCode is using the wrong Azure subscription and I can't find a way to get it to use the right one. 🤬
It doesn't matter which account I sign in with (or if I sign in at all), after a few requests it uses the wrong JWT and gets the subscription from the wrong account.
It's not a.matter if #Linux will dominate the #Desktop like it already does the #Server space but whether or not this will end with Microsoft still existing and/or whether that transition will be painful or not to everyone with escalating commitment to said #Govware OS...
Entsprechende Angebote ("#Microsoft365#Deutschland")die seitens der #DTAG gehosted wurden, sind inzwischen ersatzlos eingestellt und noch viel länger abgekündigt.
If you were going to implement something similar to Azure DevOps’ streaming of pipeline execution logs (i.e. user instigated short term processes) so people could see log entries in realtime or look back at them historically, what would your #azure technology stack be to accomplish it?
There’s no need to aggregate logs from separate executions together (à la DataDog, Mezmo, etc). Each short term process will be viewed separately.
Leider sind von den 1484 Diensten 668 von AWS. Davon die Hälfte Level 1. 21 Dienste sind immerhin Level 2. Natürlich ist kein Dienst Level 3. Bleibt genau die Hälfte, die nicht den Anforderungen der GAIA-X entsprechen. Es stellt sich etwas die Frage, warum diese Dienste dann in einem Katalog von GAIA-X enthalten sind.

“We continue to see #Microsoft as one of the key enablers of enterprise digital transformation, across the front office, back office and operational assets. Azure is the leader in enterprise cloud infrastructure in terms of offering, with more data centres than any peer and as well as the best #AI infrastructure for both training and inference. Its...
“Recently, one of our pen testers found a bastion host during an #Azure assumed-breach #pentest. We were given the credentials of an employee within Azure Active Directory. The pen tester was able to log into SSH with Azure #ActiveDirectory credentials. So, he got onto the bastion host, which was a #Linux box. One of the users on that box made their home directory world readable for everyone. He rifled through that user’s directory and found credentials for Snowflake, a third-party database service. He used those credentials to connect to the 3rd-party provider and gained access to production #data.” - @sethsec on a recent episode of the Cloud Security Podcast.
Microsoft seems to be embracing ARM processors for more than just for Windows laptops and desktops... The Azure Cobalt 100 processor has 128 ARM cores.
