Introduction Deploying configure lvm thin provisioning on debian 9 on a Debian 9 Stretch machine is straightforward thanks to Debian’s policy-compliant packaging. Unlike rpm-based distributions, Debian stores configuration helpers in /etc/default/, uses update-rc.d for older init scripts, and provides dpkg-reconfigure for interactive package configuration. This tutorial stays on the systemd path throughout. Prerequisites Ensure Debian […]

What Is Active Directory Federation Services Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) is a Windows Server role that provides federated identity and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. It enables users to authenticate once against their organization’s Active Directory and then access applications and services in other organizations or cloud platforms without re-entering credentials. AD FS implements […]
Introduction to Data Deduplication Data Deduplication (dedup) is a built-in storage optimization feature in Windows Server 2022 that reduces disk space consumption by identifying and eliminating duplicate data chunks across files on a volume. Rather than storing identical byte sequences multiple times, dedup stores each unique chunk once in a chunk store and replaces duplicate […]
What Is the Volume Shadow Copy Service? The Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is a Windows infrastructure component that enables the creation of consistent, point-in-time snapshots of disk volumes without requiring application downtime. Introduced in Windows Server 2003, VSS has been refined through every subsequent release and remains a cornerstone feature in Windows Server 2022. […]
Tekton is a Kubernetes-native open-source framework for building continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Unlike Jenkins or GitLab CI, Tekton runs entirely as Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), meaning every pipeline, task, and run is a Kubernetes object you manage with kubectl — no separate CI server to maintain. This cloud-native approach gives you full […]
Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services on Windows Server 2022 Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) is the cornerstone of identity and access management in Windows environments. It provides a centralized, hierarchical directory that stores information about users, computers, groups, printers, and other network resources. On Windows Server 2022, AD DS benefits from improved security […]
