In contrast to traditional applications where all components are developed in one piece, some types of applications become easier to build and maintain when they are broken down into smaller pieces that work synchronously. Applications that are built as modular components are easier to understand, test and maintain. Naturally, this makes your organization more agile. Organizations can benefit from time reduction, scalability, and resilience. So, what are  Linux Containers ? Linux Containers are a set of one or more processes that are isolated from the rest of the system. Simply put, Containers are software packaging applications that isolate only those components that are needed for its operation. Containers encapsulate software/service, application, all of its dependencies and a minimal amount of runtime applications that it needs to perform its function. Linux Containers  are therefore very similar to traditional Virtual Machines. But then, How are Linux...

Is IP address Enough To Track a user?

  When you wish to trace someone through their  IP address on the network , not only is the IP address needed but also the data and time details of the person accessing an IP address. What happens when you want to browse on the internet? You are assigned an IP address. Now an IP address is of the format ABCD.ABCD.ABCD.ABCD Value of each ABCD ranges from 0 to 255. Each combination of the above will lead to a different address. An example of an IP address can be 1234.0A12.91BE. Since the number of IP addresses are then, limited, a limited number of IP addresses exist in the world. Given the number of internet users and multiple devices accessing the internet, it is not always possible to assign a user a unique static IP address. So here comes the role of dynamic IP addresses. Now, Dynamic IP is provided in real-time to users on the web. Dynamic IP or DHCP is provided by your ISP provider for a fixed time depending on location, date and time of the day. Every time ...
