Over 40 recipes to help you set up and configure Linux networks About This Book Move beyond the basics of how a Linux machine works and gain a better understanding of Linux networks and their configuration Impress your peers by setting up and configuring a Linux server and its various network elements like a pro This is a hands-on solution guide to building, maintaining, and securing a network using Linux Who This Book Is For This book is targeted at Linux systems administrators who have a good basic understanding and some prior experience of how a Linux machine operates, but want to better understand how various network services function, how to set them up, and how to secure them. You should be familiar with how to set up a Linux server and how to install additional software on them. What You Will Learn Route an IPv6 netblock to your local network Modify your named instance to support setting hostnames for your IPv6 addresses Use SSH for remote console access Configure NGINX with TLS Secure XMPP with TLS Leverage iptables6 to firewall your IPv6 traffic Configure Samba as an Active Directory compatible directory service In Detail Linux can be configured as a networked workstation, a DNS server, a mail server, a firewall, a gateway router, and many other things. These are all part of administration tasks, hence network administration is one of the main tasks of Linux system administration. By knowing how to configure system network interfaces in a reliable and optimal manner, Linux administrators can deploy and configure several network services including file, web, mail, and servers while working in large enterprise environments. Starting with a simple Linux router that passes traffic between two private networks, you will see how to enable NAT on the router in order to allow Internet access from the network, and will also enable DHCP on the network to ease configuration of client systems. You will then move on to configuring your own DNS server on your local network using bind9 and tying it into your DHCP server to allow automatic configuration of local hostnames. You will then future enable your network by setting up IPv6 via tunnel providers. Moving on, we’ll configure Samba to centralize authentication for your network services; we will also configure Linux client to leverage it for authentication, and set up a RADIUS server that uses the directory server for authentication. Toward the end, you will have a network with a number of services running on it, and will implement monitoring in order to detect problems as they occur. Style and approach This book is packed with practical recipes and a task-based approach that will walk you through building, maintaining, and securing a computer network using Linux.

Explore the power of modular programming for building applications with Java and Spring! About This Book Understand the basic concepts of Modular Programming to build enterprise applications with Java Create short and precise code and eliminate recursion The book follows a step-by-step approach that makes implementing Modular Programming easy Who This Book Is For This book targets Java developers who have a basic knowledge of application development with Java and are interested in learning the Modular Programming approach for building reusable applications that are easy to test, and thus improve overall project management. What You Will Learn Learn about Modular Programming and what modules an enterprise application can be divided into. Set up a development environment and create a "Hello World" application. Start implementing a sample application from the presentation layer. Implement the persistence layer. Implement the business layer, wrapping up all of the modules with Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI). Manage an application's life cycle. Learn how to secure Web applications. Test enterprise applications and their automation. Understand how to version source code using Source Code Management (SCM) systems such as GIT and SVN. In Detail Modular programming means dividing an application into small parts and then developing it. It is an approach taken by developers to build applications and helps them add efficiency in their development process, thus making it more effective. The book starts with the fundamentals of Modular Programming. Then we move on to the actual implementation, where we teach developers how to divide an application into different modules or layers (such as presentation, execution, security, lifecycle, services, and so on) for better management. Once readers are well-versed in these modules and their development, the book shows how to create bindings in order to join these different modules and form a complete application. Next, the readers will learn how to manage these modules through dependency injection. Later, we move on to testing; readers will learn how to test the different modules of an application. The book ends by teaching readers how to maintain different versions of their application and how to modify it. By the end of the book, readers will have a good understanding of modular programming and will be able to use it to build applications with Java. Style and approach This book is a practical guide to help readers learn Modular Programming with Java and build an enterprise-ready app along the way. The book is divided into three major sections. The first teaches the fundamentals of Modular Programming and how to implement them; the second teaches readers to combine and manage the modules developed; in the final section, the book explains the applications of Modular Programming.

Monitor your Elasticsearch cluster's health, and diagnose and solve its performance and reliability issues About This Book Understand common performance and reliability pitfalls in ElasticSearch Use popular monitoring tools such as ElasticSearch-head, BigDesk, Marvel, Kibana, and more This is a step-by-step guide with lots of case studies on solving real-world ElasticSearch cluster issues Who This Book Is For This book is for developers and system administrators who use ElasticSearch in a wide range of capacities. Prior knowledge of ElasticSearch and related technologies would be helpful, but is not necessary. What You Will Learn Explore your cluster with ElasticSearch-head and BigDesk Access the underlying data of the ElasticSearch monitoring plugins using the ElasticSearch API Analyze your cluster’s performance with Marvel Troubleshoot some of the common performance and reliability issues that come up when using ElasticSearch Analyze a cluster’s historical performance, and get to the bottom of and recover from system failures Use and install various other tools and plugins such as Kibana and Kopf, which is helpful to monitor ElasticSearch In Detail ElasticSearch is a distributed search server similar to Apache Solr with a focus on large datasets, a schema-less setup, and high availability. This schema-free architecture allows ElasticSearch to index and search unstructured content, making it perfectly suited for both small projects and large big data warehouses with petabytes of unstructured data. This book is your toolkit to teach you how to keep your cluster in good health, and show you how to diagnose and treat unexpected issues along the way. You will start by getting introduced to ElasticSearch, and look at some common performance issues that pop up when using the system. You will then see how to install and configure ElasticSearch and the ElasticSearch monitoring plugins. Then, you will proceed to install and use the Marvel dashboard to monitor ElasticSearch. You will find out how to troubleshoot some of the common performance and reliability issues that come up when using ElasticSearch. Finally, you will analyze your cluster’s historical performance, and get to know how to get to the bottom of and recover from system failures. This book will guide you through several monitoring tools, and utilizes real-world cases and dilemmas faced when using ElasticSearch, showing you how to solve them simply, quickly, and cleanly. Style and approach This is a step-by-step guide to monitoring your ElasticSearch cluster and correcting performance issues. It is filled with lots of in-depth, real-world use-cases on solving different ElasticSearch cluster issues.
