Coming up: My chat with Marathon technologies; everRun VM to be hot topic!

I'll be chatting up with Jerry and others tomorrow at Marathonand we will walk through the trend of and the path of accepting the software appliance approach. Marathon is gaining a lot of traction and just like Vyatta, I think these guys are pzrt of the next big wave we should watch out for!


P.S: I will soon be writing an cool article on the next wave, something which I will call and maybe present in an upcoming keynote as the "CC 1.0" through "CC 4.0" phase, originally I wanted to do the Virtualization 5.0 through 8.0 but we may not be talking anymore about virtualization in the next decade. High availability, global delivery and high performance will be central.

We'll also be calling FastScale folks, I'll be chatting up with Lynn LeBlanc, CEO at FastScale.

Check out our previous interview with Jerry.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
