The Go standard library has fantastic support for making HTTP requests. However, sometimes, a request needs to be modified or an action needs to be taken upon response (eg. logging a response). In many cases, adding these logs to the every request would involve a lot of duplicate code. In other cases accessing the client might not be possible because of restricted access in a different package or third party library. Thus, I introduce RoundTrippers.

We’re excited to announce that we now offer Secure Variable Storage for synthetic user journey scripting! If you have sensitive data that you wish to use in journey scripts then you can now store them in your account’s own encrypted vault. This is useful for data such as email addresses, passwords, usernames and API keys.

A legacy way to deploy applications and desktops on Azure was often to put some Server 2022 VMs (Virtual Machines) in Azure running the standard RDS (Remote Desktop Services) roles – session hosts, brokers, gateway etc. and then pay the compute costs for your session hosts, brokers, and gateways, set up a public IP address and open ports.

Ubuntu KVM — an industry-leading hypervisor — extends its reach to AI/ML applications and graphics-intensive applications with native support for NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software products, including NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) and NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS). Canonical has been working closely with NVIDIA to ensure frictionless integration and a best-in-class user experience.

It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and in that spirit, we’re offering a number of tips and tricks small security operations center (SOC) teams can use. I started my career working as part of a small SOC team, and working with other security experts here at Logz.io, we’re happy to offer these to small SOC teams who can often use all the help they can get! In the last post, we talked about managing security talent and building processes.

In this blog post, I will show you how easy it is to move a single Azure Blob or even select mutlipe or the complete container and move those blobs from any storage tiering to another with just a few clicks. There are cost benefits moving your Azure Blobs down to a lower Storage Tier, Hot being the most expensive, with a cool a little bit cheaper, and the Archive Blob Tier having the lowest cost option. For most Azure Storage Cost saving ideas, we cover some in another blog.
