The Power of Docker Images: A Comprehensive Guide to Building from Scratch

Docker has revolutionized the way we build and deploy applications. It provides a platform-independent environment that allows developers to package their applications and dependencies into a single container. This container can then be easily deployed across different environments, making it an ideal solution for building and deploying applications at scale.

Building Docker images from scratch is a must skill that any DevOps engineer needs to acquire for working with Docker. It allows you to create custom images tailored to your application’s specific needs, making your deployments more efficient and reliable. 

Here, in this blog, we’ll explore Docker images, its benefits, the process of building Docker images from scratch and the best practices for building a Docker image.

Introduction to Azure Active Directory

Introduction:

In organizations, employees often need access to various Azure services to perform their tasks. They can use services like SQL database or Azure container services when the system administrator assigns them a user id and password for each service. However, managing multiple user logins for each service can be a hassle for administrators, especially in organizations with over 1000 employees. Azure Active Directory (AD) helps solve this issue by enabling administrators to manage multiple user logins in a centralized manner.

Split Tunneling Using OpenVPN – How It Works

While working with a client, we needed to be connected with VPN all the time, it is when we noticed there was always a delay in response when browsing the internet on my system because all the traffic was going through a VPN tunnel to the VPN server located in the far region and this was the case for every employee working for that client. So, what is the solution for this if you are a cost-conscious company? You want minimal use of resources and improve overall network performance. You do split-tunneling, which we will be discussing in this blog, and how you can achieve it.

What is Split tunneling?

When a VPN client connects to an OpenVPN access server, it establishes a secure tunnel. This tunnel encrypts the flow of data from the Internet to the VPN server, allowing access to your internal LAN. Additionally, the OpenVPN access server can be set to route all traffic from the Internet through this secure tunnel, except for traffic related to the internal LAN.
