How to quickly deploy a Kubernetes development cluster with microk8s
Microk8s was developed by Canonical to serve as a CNCF-certified upstream Kubernetes deployment tool that makes it very simple to deploy a single node or multi-node cluster. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that microk8s is not a replacement for a full-blown Kubernetes cluster. Instead, this tool should be considered specifically for development purposes and not for production deployments.

Linux Kernel Patched For "PBRSB" After Intel eIBRS CPUs Found To Be Insufficient
The Linux kernel via its vulnerabilities reporting will now indicate if a system is vulnerable to EIBRS Post-barrier Return Stack Buffer (PBRSB), and whether the system is running with the protection of RSB on VMEXITs, or if the system is not affected.

How to integrate Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) authentication with Red Hat SSO using SAML
Most businesses use Active Directory (AD) as it offers a single source of user management in the organization. Many organizations often incorporate additional authentication programs and protocols, such as Red Hat Single Sign On (RH-SSO), in tandem with AD. RH-SSO is based on Keycloak, an open source identity and access management tool for modern web applications.
