Kernel Patching with the help of Loop Script

What is Kernel Patching?

The operating system kernel is the central component that controls system resources and enables hardware and software connection. Kernel patching is the act of changing or maintaining the kernel’s source code.

When to choose this type of patching?

Organizations that are thinking about kernel patching usually assess how well the available solutions work with the particular kernel version they are using, test extensively in a non-production setting, and set up reliable backup and rollback procedures to reduce risks in the production environment.

It’s critical to thoroughly evaluate the organization’s particular requirements and risks, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of kernel patching. Other considerations that might impact the choice include the organization’s overall risk tolerance, regulatory requirements, and how critical the systems are.

Boost Infrastructure Efficiency with AWS ECS Capacity Provider Strategy

Introduction:

Explore the simplicity of scaling in the AWS cloud by diving deep into the AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) capacity providers. AWS ECS is revolutionizing the world of container orchestration, and capacity providers are essential in streamlining the scaling process.

In this blog, we will explore the concept of Capacity Providers in Amazon ECS. We’ll delve into the reasons for choosing Capacity Providers in Amazon ECS, understand how they function, examine the various types of Capacity Providers, explore the significance of weight and base settings within Capacity Providers, and take a closer look at the potential drawbacks associated with their usage.

What is a Capacity Provider:

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a robust container orchestration service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), designed to simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. At the heart of ECS lies the concept of Capacity Providers. It’s a fundamental element streamlining the intricate process of managing the compute resources that underpin your containerized workloads.

Amazon ECR Container Images Across Accounts or Regions

Want to implement an AWS Elastic Container Registry Replication practice in your DevOps solution? But don’t know how to start and where to go. Folks, now you are on the right path.

We’re pursuing this to safeguard our production resources in the ap-south-1 (Mumbai) region from potential disasters and connectivity issues. Ensuring resource distribution across other AWS regions is critical. Our microservices-driven applications rely on Docker images, including custom ones crucial for disaster recovery. AWS Container Registry offers a secure, efficient solution for storing and managing Docker images, simplifying image storage, and enabling seamless sharing across private or public environments.

So, here you may wonder how we can replicate the same images from its registry to another AWS Account(cross-accounts) or in the same account in different regions(cross-region).

Pre-requisite: 

  1. Need two AWS Accounts with admin access to Amazon ECR service and programmatic access for it(to pull/push images).
  2. Login/Signup:  https://aws.amazon.com/console/

Note: 1st AWS Account: Source account

2nd AWS Account: Destination account

The architecture

Enough theory part let’s take action for this,
