I've got an AWS S3 bucket where the only permissions I've defined are for myself and Amazon's Log Delivery. As shown from the AWS Console:
As shown from another tool (S3 Browser):
There's no public or everyone or anonymous users in the ACL.
Yet, public/anonymous users can read objects from the bucket:
How can this be?
I have a website whose name I am changing from example.com to newexample.com. My thought process (please comment on this as well, as my approach may be incorrect) was to configure permanent a redirect from http:(s)://.example.com/ (I am not using '' in the literal regex sense here) to https://www.newexample.com/.
In the rewrite rules section I took the following approach:
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect to newexample.com">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern=".*" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.newexample.com/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent"/>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
The way I understand the above rules is that ANY host name will get redirected to "https://www.newexample.com/whatever", leaving all other aspects of the requested url as-is, but I am not getting redirected using any combination that I've tried so far.
I want to assign a custom domain name to my Azure blob storage account. In the custom domain setup page it says:
You can map a custom subdomain name to your Blob service endpoint. Windows Azure must verify that you are authorized to modify DNS records for the domain. To verify authorization, create a CNAME resource record with your DNS provider that points from [subdomain].yourdomain.com to justanotherxiodec11.blob.core.windows.net or asverify.[subdomain].yourdomain.com to asverify.justanotherxiodec11.blob.core.windows.net.
However, justanotherxiodec11.blob.core.windows.net doesn't resolve at all. Am I missing something? (Note: I expected to see *mystorageaccountname*.blob.core.windows.net, not justanotherxiodec11... I have no idea what justanotherxiodec11 is.)
ps Unrelated - are the IP addresses that are associated with the mystorageaccountname.blob.core.windows.net host names static or dynamic?
My business has about 15 people in a single location. We've lived forever off a local Windows Server for file sharing (about 800 GB) and access to our accounting system, which is also file system based (meaning it isn't client-server, rather you access it over a shared drive). My server is nearing the end of its life and I am considering the alternatives.
My fundamental decision is whether to implement a new server onsite or bring things to the cloud. By 'cloud' I mean a number of different things - it could be an infrastructure as a service (IAAS) implementation where I maintain the file server but just stick it in the cloud, or it could mean cloud-based file sharing, etc. I am not presupposing any answer.
Replacing the server with a new one is the "easy" answer, because it's a known entity. But again I am trying to be open minded.
One of my hangups as I think about the cloud is user's behavior and patterns when it comes to file sharing. Today, users access a shared folder, files are locked when opened so there's no problem having single version of the truth, and people are used to working in Explorer in a very "interactive" way, meaning they work in projects that have many files that are constantly opened, edited, closed, etc. Many files are accessed by the same people and as I said there is no issue with collisions because file access is exclusive for writes. Most cloud solutions are either sync-based, but this is a problem for me because the file set is > 250 gb and it's not practical to put that data on all workstations (all users need all) not do I want to distribute it that much from a security perspective, or web-based which is a huge slowdown from a workflow point of view, eg browse to file, download it, open it, save it back up, etc. vs. Explorer.
Another hangup I have is that after the purchase cost of a new server (
I think a lot of the challenge originates from the fact that I have an existing environment vs. being able to start fresh. If starting fresh I'd have no constraints and could define any answer I want.
I'm not looking for an answer of which option is better per-se, but rather I am looking for guidance on how I should consider the factors associated with each option so I can make a good decision.
What are your thoughts about this?
I'm running VirtualBox 4.2 on Windows Server 2003 and I am trying to ping the IP address of the guest virtual machine from the Windows host (ICMP is not being blocked).
The guest is 192.168.0.1 and the host is on a different subnet, 192.168.1.100. The virtual machine's networking settings looked like this:
and the host network config looked like this:
I added a secondary IP address of 192.168.0.2 to the host NIC shown in the screenshot above and was unable to ping 192.168.0.1 from the host. I found it odd that the "VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver" checkbox was unchecked (this was the default following VirtualBox install), so I checked it, and had the same problem.
As a test I then changed the guest's network settings use the host-only adapter, as shown below:
and on the host I edited the "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" adapter's settings to have an IP address on the 192.168.0.x segment as follows:
but was still unable to ping. Note: If I change the primary address of the host's network adapter to be on the 192.168.0.x segment than I am able to ping the 192.168.0.1 guest. But I still need the host to be on it's original network.
Thoughts?
Internet access at hotels, airports cafes is often gated by a captive portal which forces you to a particular web page on first use, for example a payment page or some page to accept a terms of service or an authentication/authorization page. You see this with both wireless and wired connections.
How does this work?
I need to download 100 GB of files (it’s in about 150 files) within a 7 day period before they expire. The download is rate-limited by the host so it takes MUCH longer than the theoretical transfer rate based on normal Internet speeds. I have a script of curl http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html commands - one line per file.
I had the idea of automatically spinning up n EC2 instances, executing the command and FTPing the files to a central location, then shutting down the machines. How would I do this?
I don't care whether it's Linux or Windows.
Is there an HAProxy virtual machine (any OS) with HAProxy installed but not configured (or configured and I'll just reconfigure)?
When SQL Server 2005/2008 database backup jobs are run from Maintenance Plans, can they be configured to include some sequence number (or other indicator) in the filename, so that previous files with the sane name aren't overwritten? (Note I'd like to have just a single database backup in a given backup file.) For example, if my backup job runs and creates:
MyDatabase.bak
and then runs again while MyDatabase.bak stil exists, I'd like the new file to be called MyDatabase_1.bak, and so on. If I later delete MyDatabase.bak and the backup job runs, the new backup file should again be called MyDatabase.bak.
