I have been blogging and using blogger.com to host my blog site for almost a decade now. My blogs are my personal notes or curation of materials that I use. His question provoked me to think about hosting my own website on my spare MacBook pro. With that in mind, I started some research activities. This blog is my steps of activities and the final result. Technology Stack Selection I metaphorically selected…

Chapter 1: Introduction In our previous blog of this series we have established the fact that EBX can be deployed as a container. We deployed EBX on Docker to achieve our goal, in continuation to the same we will see how can we use OpenShift for the same purpose. What is OpenShift OpenShift is a family of containerization software products developed by Red Hat. Its flagship product is the OpenShift Container Platform — an on-premises platform as a service built around Docker containers orchestrated and managed by Kubernetes on a foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The family’s other products provide this platform through different environments: OKD serves as the community-driven upstream (akin to the way…

As I sit here on Christmas Eve, reflecting on the past year, I find myself drawn to an event that profoundly shifted my perspective on technology and its vulnerabilities. Earlier this year, the WannaCry ransomware attack emerged as a stark reminder of the fragility of our interconnected systems. This incident not only disrupted critical services worldwide but also compelled me to delve deeper into the realms of network vulnerability and security. In this blog, I aim to revisit the WannaCry attack, its widespread impact, the response that curtailed its spread, and the enduring lessons it imparted about our digital world’s…

A New Chapter Begins March 2009 marked the start of an exciting chapter for me as I moved to London to immerse myself in a vibrant and rapidly evolving tech environment. Amidst the historical charm and buzzing streets, I found myself with the rare luxury of time—time to think, reflect, and dive deeper into the technologies I had been working with, as well as those shaping the future. My work revolved around Customer Data Integration (CDI), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), WSDL, and Web Services—critical technologies that ensured systems could “talk” to each other. But it was clear that the industry…
