If you want to empower AI with real-world data—like live weather updates—building a custom MCP server is a great project. Here’s a step-by-step guide on setting up a simple weather server using MCP and connecting it with Claude … Continue reading Build an MCP server and Integrate it with Claude Desktop

Edera’s Am-I-Isolated Tool: Fortifying Container Security

In the fast-evolving landscape of cloud-native technologies, securing containerized workloads is a top priority. Kubernetes and containers power modern applications, but their shared kernel architecture introduces risks like privilege escalation and container breakouts. Edera’s Am-I-Isolated tool, an open-source security scanner, steps in to address these challenges by evaluating container isolation and offering practical fixes. Written … Continue reading Edera’s Am-I-Isolated Tool: Fortifying Container Security

Set up Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Vault

Providing efficient and customized access management for sensitive information is critical to upholding robust security and protecting a company’s confidential data. With HashiCorp Vault’s roles and policies, you can implement that control reliably and with assurance. Prerequisites: You require a running vault cluster for this activity. Refer to the official link https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/platform/k8s/helm/run for a refresher … Continue reading Set up Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Vault

Set Up Mutual TLS (mTLS) with Vault’s PKI Secrets Engine

Mutual TLS (mTLS) is a security mechanism that requires both the client and the server to verify each other's identities using digital certificates. In contrast to one-way TLS, where only the server’s identity is validated, mTLS adds an extra layer of security by ensuring mutual authentication. Vault's PKI secrets engine streamlines the management of these … Continue reading Set Up Mutual TLS (mTLS) with Vault’s PKI Secrets Engine

Boosting Efficiency in Microservices with Bazel – Part 1

Modern software development often relies on large-scale microservices architectures. However, ensuring efficiency and consistency in building and testing these systems can be challenging. Key issues include: Slow Build Times: Building large-scale applications with multiple dependencies often leads to extended build durations, negatively impacting developer productivity. Inconsistent Build Environments: Variations in developer environments and CI/CD pipelines … Continue reading Boosting Efficiency in Microservices with Bazel – Part 1

Efficient and Reliable Multi-Architecture Docker Image Building with BuildX

Building and distributing single-architecture Docker images efficiently and reliably across diverse computing environments presents a significant challenge. Additionally, managing the complexity of building and pushing multiple images for different architectures can be time-consuming and error-prone. For instance, imagine a scenario where a customer initially uses an x64 (Windows) based operating system to run containerized applications. … Continue reading Efficient and Reliable Multi-Architecture Docker Image Building with BuildX

Understanding Constructors in Python

In Python, a constructor is a special method named __init__() that is automatically called when an object of a class is created. The primary purpose of the constructor is to initialize the instance variables of the object. Let's delve deeper into the key concepts surrounding constructors in Python.
