Deprecation of Remote PowerShell (RPS) Protocol in Security and Compliance PowerShell
by Guest The_Exchange_Team- 0 replies
- 0 views
Starting July 15, 2023, we will start deprecating the legacy RPS protocol in the Security and Compliance PowerShell module. RPS is enabled by default for Security and Compliance cmdlets. As part of our modernization efforts, the Security and Compliance admin experience is moving to REST-based cmdlets. The new REST API will have the same cmdlets available and will have feature parity with the RPS v1 cmdlets; thus, existing scripts and processes don’t need to be updated. Simply using the new PowerShell module version 3.2.0-Preview3 will ensure REST is used instead of RPS. You can switch to REST-based cmdlets now by doing the following: Install the Exchange Onli…

Announcing support for Azure Key Vault Managed HSM with Azure PostgreSQL Flexible server
by Guest Gennadyk- 0 replies
- 0 views
In December 2022, Microsoft Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server announced general availability of encryption at rest with Customer Managed Keys (CMK) feature. Data encryption at rest is a very important aspect of database security, as it transforms your data into unreadable code (ciphertext) using a cryptographic algorithm. Encryption encodes data, so only programs that know how to decode it can read it. It uses an algorithm—a set of ordered steps—to alter the information so that the receiving party can't read it without applying a similar algorithm to return it to its original state. In order for unauthorized users to decode and access sensitive information, they n…

This article explains the steps carried out in doing a lift and shift migration of Kubernetes workloads running on virtual machines (from any location – Onpremise or Third-party cloud provider) to Azure public region. This migration was tested at a customer side, where they had specific requirements to migrate the Kubernetes workloads as is by retaining their IP addresses.

Driver Servicing leverages three types of measures when assessing the quality of a driver; standard, expanded, and ecosystem. Where standard & expanded measures assess drivers that match targeting constraints of the shipping label, ecosystem audiences expand data collection beyond a driver’s targeting constraints to reduce sampling noise and increase the measures’ statistical significance. These measures collect telemetry from any machine that downloaded the driver from any source, including untargeted machines that downloaded an identical version of the driver. A graphics driver is considered identical to another driver when they share the same Driver INF Version. …
