RAMBleed DRAM

RAMBleed DRAM

On June 11th, security researchers published a paper titled “RAMBleed Reading Bits in Memory without Accessing Them”.  This paper describes vector  against Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) modules that are already susceptible toRowhammer-style attacks. Systems using DRAM modules mitigated against Rowhammer style attacks remain protected from RAMBleed.  This vector may affects hardware products, among which some used by OVH.

Deploying a FaaS platform on OVH Managed Kubernetes using OpenFaaS

Several weeks ago, I was taking part in a meetup about Kubernetes, when one of the attendees made a remark that resonated deeply with me… Hey, Horacio, that Kubernetes thing is rather cool, but what I would have loved to see is a Functions-as-a-Service platform. Most of my apps could be easily done with a
