Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working on replacing the Cisco Meraki MX-67 firewall with a Fortinet 60E. Quite a bit of a learning curved was involved there, but we’re on the other side of it now!
I’ve also been exploring the world of containers. With some guidance from Stephen, K1LNX, I’ve been able to reduce my VM inventory by ~6. I’m continuing to look for ways to further exploit this technology and to further streamline my operations.
I’m beginning to migrate all of my public services to a reverse-proxy model which allows me to leverage Lets Encrypt certs to secure communication channels. So there may be some changes to URLs as services are migrated. For instance, accessing the c-Bridge no longer requires ports on the URL and the communication is secured via SSL.
While much of this tech isn’t new to me, introducing the container aspect of it has sent me down a rabbit hole. But it’s been fun so far…..
Until next time…..
