Azure Cloud Services Automated Deployment

The Azure Deployment Manager allows you to automate the deployment and management of your IaaS resources. The primary use case for this service is to quickly deploy new instances of Windows Server VMs that are fully configured and ready to use. The service supports deployment with parameters on the server, storage, and network configuration. It’s possible to define your own custom scripts that will run after a virtual machine has been deployed. You can have an automated deployment job run on demand (such as when a new storage account is created), or at a scheduled time

The Azure Deployment Manager allows you to automate the deployment and management of your IaaS resources. You can use it to deploy new instances of Windows Server VMs that are fully configured and ready to use. If you need a web server, simply create one with all the roles necessary for your application and then link it with your code repository on GitHub or BitBucket (or any other source) so that when changes are made they automatically get deployed.

A Comparison of Consensus Algorithms

October 17, 2023November 9, 2023 - by Charlie Meneses

In the world of blockchain technology, there are numerous different consensus algorithms. Some of these are better suited to short-term considerations and others are better suited for long-term use. This article will cover each of the most popular consensus algorithms in detail, and help you decide which one best fits your needs.

Proof of Work

Proof of work is a system that requires a computer to find a solution to a mathematical problem before it can add its block to the blockchain. The difficulty of this task varies depending on how much effort is being put into mining across the network. In proof-of-work systems, miners must compete with one another in order to be awarded new bitcoins or transaction fees paid by users sending transactions across the network.

In addition, proof-of-work systems make it more difficult for someone (or some entity) who does not own any computing power themselves but wants to alter information stored in blocks on a blockchain (for example, changing account balances).

Proof of Stake

Proof of Stake is a consensus algorithm that is used to select the next block creator in a blockchain. It is a consensus algorithm that uses a validator’s stake, or ownership of the cryptocurrency, as a measure of how likely they are to create honest blocks.

Proof-of-stake systems are often considered more energy efficient than proof-of-work systems because they don’t require miners continuously performing calculations as part of their job. Instead, most proof-of-stake systems use “forks” from previous blocks (usually with some …

Understanding Firewalls and Adware

October 14, 2023November 9, 2023 - by Charlie Meneses

If you’re like me, then you have a lot of questions about firewalls and adware. It can be confusing to know what kind of firewall is installed on your computer and how to turn it on or off, or even what adware means in the first place. In this blog post I’ll break down exactly what these terms mean and give some tips for protecting yourself from them both.

What is a firewall?

A firewall is a software or hardware barrier that prevents unauthorized access to or from a private network. A firewall can be a dedicated appliance (a physical device), or it can be software running on one or more computers in your home.

Firewalls are used to protect your computer, your network and your privacy. They help keep hackers out, prevent malware from infecting computers within the network and block unauthorized users who try to access information on the Internet.

How do I know if I have a firewall installed?

If you’re not sure whether a firewall is installed on your computer, check the following:

Open Control Panel and click System and Security. The Windows Firewall settings are displayed. If they’re set to off or public, then no firewall is present on the computer.
Check your operating system’s manual for information on installing or configuring firewalls. The Linux kernel includes its own built-in firewall that can be configured through /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/rc2.d/S99firewall scripts (among others).

15 Proven Strategies to Optimise Your WordPress Website

October 12, 2023October 12, 2023 - by Charlie Meneses

In today’s digital landscape, having a well-optimized website is crucial for success. Whether you run a blog, an e-commerce store, or a corporate website, optimising your WordPress site can improve user experience, boost search engine rankings, and ultimately increase conversions. In this blog post, we’ll explore 10 proven strategies for WordPress Website Optimisation to help peak performance.

1. Choose a Lightweight Theme:

Start with a lightweight and responsive theme that ensures fast loading times. Avoid bloated themes with excessive features and scripts that can slow down your site.

2. Optimise Images:

Images are a significant contributor to page load times. Use image optimisation plugins like Smush or ShortPixel to compress and resize images without sacrificing quality.

3. Enable Caching:

Caching plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache store static versions of your site’s pages, reducing the server’s workload and speeding up load times for returning visitors.

4. Minimize HTTP Requests:

Reduce the number of HTTP requests your site makes by combining CSS and JavaScript files, minimising redirects, and using asynchronous loading for non-essential scripts.

5. Utilize Content Delivery Networks (CDNs):

CDNs distribute your website’s content across multiple servers worldwide, delivering it to users from the nearest server. This reduces latency and speeds up loading times.

6. Implement Lazy Loading:

Lazy loading loads images and other media elements only when a user scrolls down the page. This prevents unnecessary loading and improves initial page load speed.

7. Optimise Your Database:

Regularly clean and optimize your WordPress database by removing …

How Multi-Tenancy Works In The Data Center

October 7, 2023November 9, 2023 - by Charlie Meneses

Multi-tenancy is a way to separate tenants in the same data center. It creates a virtualized layer between tenants and service providers, so they don’t have to share anything. Tenants are assigned a dedicated compute environment. They create their own OS images, select their own software applications, configure their own network settings and manage their own security policies. Multi-tenancy saves money for both providers and tenants by enabling each party to scale their infrastructure independently. For example, if one tenant needs more computing power, they can make that change without affecting other tenants. This provides flexibility in terms of scaling up or down an environment as needed by the tenant. Each tenant’s workloads are isolated from other tenants’ workloads at all layers of the datacenter–from compute to storage to networking–which eliminates any potential conflicts.”
