Rubrik : Multi-tenancy Has Arrived !


Background

What if your sub-team can manage their backup/restore jobs by themselves ? What if they can configure SLAs for their applications ? They restore job directly without requesting this action to the backup administrators ? A dream ? Probably a reality as well !


Delegation / Multi tenancy

Multi-tenancy is a cloud way of handling access to a platform. It basically means that a "tenant" (customer) can access a portion of a platform without even noticing that other tenant are also using it. You have the feeling that you are alone because other users of this platform are hidden to you.

As Rubrik released its latest Atlas version (4.1) you are now able to create "Organizations" from the gear menu (who also been revamped and this is very well done!) go to Organizations.


Then feel free to create a new one. Once the organization has been created, you need to add users and then rights for those users. You can chose either VMs or entire cluster and this for any type of clusters/objects.


Then, you can chose what SLA the user will be able to manage/assign VMs :


Once completed, log out and login again with the users you have added to the new tenant, you will be prompted to enter into your tenant :


Once completed, you will see the organization you are logged on. Yes, the same user can be allowed on different tenants.


From a security point of view, the new dashboard is only showing objects you have access to : 































This is a very nice feature !!

ShredOS : HDD degaussing with style

Background Have you ever had the need to properly erase HDD or SSD before disposing them ? Or selling them ? You do not want to have someone else playing around with your data right ? What we usually do is using a bootable Linux Live CD and use dd style command to write random data on the disk right ? But what if you have 10 disks in your machine ? What if you need a report to proof the world that wiping is a success ? I came across this challenge recently.

Nutanix : CVM stuck into Phoenix

Image
Background Last night, I was in my monthly upgrades process for my clusters. I was about to catch up with all the versions. I was about to start the last run of patches, so I ran the LCM inventory for the last time. Of course I was doing something else in parallel - LCM is so time consuming, you'd better parallel tasking. When I came back to the LCM inventory screen, I saw 6 pre-checks errors : Cassandra down, network down, connection timeout, .... Most scary : node removed from Metadata Ring.

ThingSpeak : Create some useful formulas

Image
Background In a previous post related to the thingspeak integration for my solar panel production monitoring , I created some basic dashboard showing the production throughout the day. I wanted to see what was the production since the beginning of the day. Since ThingSpeak is part of MathWorks (MATLAB), I have a good feeling that some strong formulas were available for our creativity.
