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 !!

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.

Mac OS X : Display images in-line with terminal

Image
Backgound This time, this is a MacOS tip ! You have a list of files in the terminal window in front of you, some are pictures, some are texts. For text files, this is easy to quickly issue a "more" or "cat" so you immediately figure out what it is. For a picture, this is another story, you need an image viewer. Whatever the speed and simplicity of this editor, you need to load a 3rd party application and switch to it, this is not very handy. What if you could see this image directly from the terminal ?
