Official Ansible Galaxy NGINX Roles Out Now NGINX has now created officially supported Ansible Roles for the open source NGINX software and NGINX Plus available on Ansible Galaxy.

Anyone who sees someone on the list can call the police, making it more difficult for these criminals to commit more crimes. In the world of technology, there’s a similar concept called Project Honeypot. Project Honeypot maintains a list of known malicious IPs. The list is available for free to the public.

2017-10-06 KENNETH 0

Windows 10 IoT enables the complete IoT lifecycle Microsoft recently announced the public preview of the Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service. The Device Provisioning Service is a new service that works with Azure IoT Hub to enable “zero-touch” device provisioning to an IoT hub. Using this service, devices can be created with a common image, and when booted for the first time in the field, the Device Provisioning Service will automatically provide the device specific provisioning information, including the correct Azure IoT Hub location and identity where the device can be further provisioned and customized using Azure device management. The Device Provisioning Service is designed to support very high device volumes, enabling the provisioning of millions of devices in a secure and scalable manner, automating what historically has been a complex and time-consuming process for customers handling high volumes [ more… ]
