Introduction This post is to describe the process of cloning an Oracle Database which is configured to store the TDE (encryption keys) in the Oracle Key Vault (OKV) If the source database is configured with Oracle key Vault, than we can clone the database withouth having to transport the key files on the destination server. In this exemple the clone will be made on the same host. To install the RESTFul API and add a database as endpoint to OKV check my previous BLOG Add Oracle database server to Oracle Key vault (OKV) from scratch, only with RESTfull API.

17h ago
Welcome back in this series of blogs regarding Cloud Native Storage. Check my previous on Cloud Native Storage: Overview for the introduction. In this one, I will discuss about the process involved in choosing a cloud native storage product. If you remember my previous blog, I pasted the exhaustive (big!) list of products. Of course, if you are familiar with Kubernetes you’ll probably know that we can create multiple storage classes, and you are right. The point here is more about choosing a product that will fit a specific workload. Workload can be of several kinds. Databases Stateless/stat ..read more

Add a UI to explore the Feathers.js API
Dbi Services Blog
by Nicolas Meunier
17h ago
Following on from my previous article: Create REST API from your database in minute with Feathers.js, today I want to add a UI to explore the Feathers.js API. When we provide an API, it’s common to make a tool available to explore the exposed methods. Swagger UI is one such tool, and fortunately, in the Feathers.js ecosystem, a package is available for this purpose. First step: install and declare the package In my previous article, I created a Feathers.js project using Koa as HTTP framework, TypeScript as language and NPM as package manager. To install the feathers-swagger package, I use the ..read more

Containers Security – Protect Against SSN Exfiltration with NeuVector
Dbi Services Blog
by Benoît Entzmann
3d ago
You may have heard a few weeks ago, in France, more than 30 millions Security Social Numbers (SSN) have been stolen. These data have been exfiltrated from databases. In these modern days, you are probably running your website in a container and use Kubernetes for its autoscaling capabilities. You then need to take care of containers security. A common method to exfiltrate data is to use a Command and Control (C&C also known as C2) attack. It existed before containerization but its principle is still the same. It is about infecting a machine with a malware. An external attacker ca ..read more

PostgreSQL 17: Convert a physical replica to a logical replica using pg_createsubscriber
Dbi Services Blog
by Daniel Westermann
3d ago
Logical replication in PostgreSQL came with Version 10, which is already out of support. I’ve written about this a long time ago but the basic building blocks are still the same. Setting this up requires a publication on the source and a subscription on the target and a couple of parameters to bet set on both sides. Starting with PostgreSQL 16 you can setup a logical replication from a physical replica, which gives you more flexibility on how you want to distribute the load. You might want to follow this set of slides to get a general impression on how logical replication evolved over the year ..read more

Feel free to read my colleague Arnaud; he also gave his opinions on this blog post. If you missed my feedback on our first day at KubeCon, please jump here!

We also attended morning keynotes, and sessions on topics we were more interested in. While on Tuesday morning, we noticed quite a lot of people entering the event, Wednesday was at a totally different scale. We were queu ..read more

Dbi Services Blog
by Arnaud Berbier

For my 2nd time at the KubeCon & CloudNativeCon Europe – the right place to be for all the Kubernetes & CloudNative technical sessions, showcases, networking and to have fun – the event took place in Paris. Our travel from Basel to Paris was fast, 3 hours of TGV is appreciated compared to Amsterdam where we had to take the flight. And Paris is more practical as they are also speaking french even that the commodities was quite better in Amsterdam (food, biscuits, coffee machines were everywhere). Let me also mention that we didn’t get any foods at Midday during the 1st day this year. I ..read more

Kubernetes Network Policy by using Cilium – Beginner Level
Dbi Services Blog
by Benoît Entzmann
1w ago
In my blog post series about Kubernetes networking, I wrote here that by default, all pods can communicate together in a “vanilla” Kubernetes. Whatever they belong to the same namespace or not. To provide network separation, we need to implement Kubernetes Network Policy. If your Kubernetes cluster is multi-tenant this is going to be a requirement. Multi-tenant means the same Kubernetes cluster host several applications. Each of them is in their own namespace. However the product owners are different for each application. In this case you’ll need to isolate each application from each other. It ..read more

by Stéphane Haby

These last few weeks, I work on a project to check the compliance of an instance with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) document. The Benchmark documentation provides prescriptive guidance to secure SQL Server and I develop a tool to do a security audit automatically following these recommendations. On the Authentication and Authorization Chapter, you have three sub-chapters: Ensure the SQL Server’s MSSQL Service Account is not an Administrator Ensure the SQL Server’s SQLAgent Service Account is not an Administrator Ensure the SQL Server’s Full-Text Service Account is not an Administrato ..read more
