Cybersecurity is a focal point of enterprises and governments globally. The longstanding approach of protecting critical data via firewalls or using segregated/dedicated networks is no longer sufficient!
This also includes Fibre Channel (FC) SAN where security was historically considered intrinsic in the SAN, due to the usage of fiber cables and dedicated (and isolated) fabrics.

The Veeam Hardened Repository ISO (VHRISO) is a Managed Hardened Repository delivered as bootable ISO with a Rocky Linux distribution preconfigured by Veeam.
The idea is to dramatically simplify the provisioning experience while eliminating (or at least reducing) the need for any Linux expertise.
But also have an OS pre-hardened out of the box with all advanced security settings already applied. This because immutability may be not enough if you configure your repository in a wrong way! Recommendations are based on Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) created and maintained by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for Rocky Linux.
Further, on-going management costs are reduced thanks to both hardened repository components as well as the base OS updates provided directly by Veeam.

After only few months from Linux Kernel 6.12, Linus Torvalds announced today the release and general availability of Linux kernel 6.13, the latest stable version of the Linux kernel (available on kernel.org) that introduces several new features and improvements.
continue reading…It’s mostly some final driver fixes (gpu and networking dominating –
normal), with some doc updates too. And various little stuff all over.
The shortlog is appended for people who want to see the details (and,
as always, it’s just the shortlog for the last week, the full 6.13 log
is obviously much too big).
With this, the merge window for 6.14 will obviously open tomorrow. I
already have two dozen pull requests pending – thank you, you know who
you are.
