    01:37 Terraform AzureRM provider 4.0 adds provider-defined functions

    • Terraform is announcing the GA of Terraform AzureRM provider 4.0. The new version improves the extensibility and flexibility in the provider.
    • Since the Providers’ Last major release in March 2022, Hashi has added support for some 340 resources and 120 data sources, bringing the total Azure resources to 1,101 resources and almost 360 data sources.
    • The provider has topped 660M downloads, MS and Hashi continue to develop new, innovative integrations that further ease the cloud adoption journey to enterprise organizations.
    • With Terraform 1.8, providers can implement custom functions that you can call from the Terraform configuration. The new provider adds two Azure-specific provider functions to let users correct the casing of their resource IDs or access the individual components of it.
    • Previously, the Azure RM provider took an all-or-nothing approach to Azure resource provider registration, where the Terraform provider would either attempt to register a fixed set of 68 providers upon initialization or registration or be skipped.
    • This didn’t match Microsoft’s recommendations, which are to register resource providers only as needed, and to enable the services you’re actively using.
    • With adding two new feature flags, resource_provider_registrations and resource_providers_to_register, users now have more control over which providers to register automatically or whether to continue managing a subscription resources provider.
    • AzureRM has removed a number of deprecated items, and it is recommended that you look at the removed resources/data sources and the

    00:35 Crowdstrike RCA

    • The final RCA is out from Crowdstrike, and as we talked during the preliminary report, this was an issue with a channel file that had 21 input parameters. No update previously had more than 20, and it was not caught in earlier testing.
    • Crowdstrike has several findings, and mitigating actions that they are taking. They go into detail on each of them, and you can read through all of them at the linked document.

    02:31 Justin – “…the one thing I would say is this would be a perfect RCA if it included a timeline, but it lacks, it lacks a timeline view.”

    12:06 Justin – “…their mitigations don’t have any dates on them of when they’re going to be done or implemented, which, in addition to a timeline, it would be nice to see in this process.”

    15:46 Microsoft joins CrowdStrike in pushing IT outage recovery responsibility

    back to Delta

    • Microsoft has joined Crowdstrike in throwing Delta under the bus.
    • Delta Airlines has been blaming Crowdstrike and MS for their recent IT woes, which the company claims cost them over $500 million.
    • Microsoft says “Our preliminary review suggests that Delta, unlike its competitors, has not modernized its IT infrastructure, either for the benefit of its customers or for its pilots and flight attendants” Mark Cheffo from law firm Dechert representing MS.
    • Gonna get ugly before this all gets settled. *Insert Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif here*

    16:43 Justin – “The struggle with, you know, offering to send someone on site to help you is, you know, you, you can’t vet them that quickly. And so you also have an obligation to your shareholders. You have obligations to your security controls and your SOC and ISO and all the things that you’re doing, you know, to, to allow some strangers into your network and then give them access required to fix this issue, which in some cases required you to provide local encryption keys, and local administrato

    00:45 Amazon decision to deprioritize 7 cloud services caught customers and

    even some salespeople by surprise

    • There is still no official blog post announcing this, beyond the confirmation from Jeff Barr.
    • Amazon is discontinuing new access to a small number of services in the tweet – but would continue to run them in a secure environment.
    • Jeff Bar confirmed the list of services to be S3 Select, CloudSearch, Cloud9, SimpleDB, Forecast, Data Pipeline and CodeCommit.
    • An AWS Spokesperson claimed to Business Insider that the changes were communicated through multiple channels within and outside the company.
      • But were they REALLY though?

    01:33 In what feels suspiciously like an SNL skit, CrowdStrike sent its partners $10 Uber Eats gift cards as an apology for mass IT outage

    • As you can imagine, Twitter (or X) had thoughts.
    • Turns out they were just for third party partners that were helping with implementation.
    • 2024 Economics wants to know – what are you going to do with only $10 with Uber Eats?
    • Crowdstrike: Preliminary Post Incident Review
    • Moving on to the actual story – The Preliminary Post Incident Review (PIR) is now out for the BSOD Crowdstrike event we talked about last week.
    • Crowdstrike reports that a Rapid Response Content Update for the Falcon sensor was published to Windows hosts running sensor version 7.11 and above.
    • The update was to gather telemetry on new threat techniques that targeted named pipes in the kernel but instead triggered a BSOD on systems online from 4:09 – 5:27 UTC.
    • Ultimately, the crash occurred due to undetected content during validation checks, which resulted in an out-of-bounds memory read.
    • To avoid this, Crowdstrike plans to do a bunch of things:
      • Improve rapid response content testing by using testing types such as Local developer, content update and rollback, stress, fuzzing, fault injection, stability and content interface testing.
      • Introduce additional validation checks in the content validator to prevent similar issues.
      • Strengthen error handling mechanisms in the Falcon sensor to ensure errors from problematic content are managed gracefully.
      • Adopt staggered deployment strategies, starting with a canary deployment to a small subset of systems before further staged rollouts
      • Enhanced sensor and system performance monitoring during the staggered content deployment to identify and mitigate issues promptly.
      • Allowing a granular section of when and where these updates are deployed will give customers greater control over the deliver

    00:58 You Guessed It – Crowdstrike

    Microsoft, CrowdStrike outage disrupts travel and business worldwide

    Our Statement on Today’s Outage (listener note: paywall article)

    • It’s not every day you get to experience one of the largest IT Outages in history, and it even impacted our recording of the show last week.
    • Crowdstrike, a popular EDR solution caused major disruption to the worlds IT systems with an errant update to their software that caused servers to BSOD, disrupting travel (airplanes, trains, etc), governments, news organizations and more.
    • Crowdstrike removed the errant file quickly, but still the damage was done with tons of systems requiring manual intervention to be recovered.
      • The fix required booting into safe mode, and removing a file from the crowdstrike directory.
        • This was all complicated by bitlocker and lack of local admin rights for many end user devices.
      • Sometimes doing up to 15 reboots would bring the server back to life.
      • Swinging the hard drives from one broken server to a working server manually removes the files and puts them back.
    • The issue also caused a large-scale outage in the Azure Central region.
      • In addition to services on AWS being impacted that run Windows (Amazon is a well-known large Crowdstrike customer)
    • Crowdstrike CEO Goerge Kurtz (who happened to be the CTO at Mcafee during the 2010 Update Fiasco that impacted Mcafee clients globally) stated that he was deeply sorry and vowed to make sure every customer is fully recovered.
    • By the time of this recording, most clients should be mostly fixed and recovered, and we are all anxiously waiting to hear how this could have happened.

    04:50 Justin – “It’s really an Achilles heel of the cloud. I mean, to fix this, you need to be able to boot a server into safe mode or into recovery mode and then remove this file manually, which requires that you have console access, which, you know, Amazon just added a couple of years ago.”

    07:45 Matthew – “It’s always fun when you’re like, okay, everyone sit down, no stupid

    General News

    00:56 Japan declares victory in effort to end government use of floppy disks

    • Here’s a bit of tech nostalgia meets modernization for you!
    • Japan’s government has finally phased out the use of floppy disks in all its systems.
    • The Digital Agency has scrapped over 1,000 regulations related to their use, marking a significant step in their efforts to update government technology.
    • Digital Minister Taro Kono, who’s been on a mission to modernize Japan’s government tech, announced this victory last week. It’s part of a larger push to digitize Japan’s notoriously paper-heavy bureaucracy, which became glaringly apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • Japan’s digitization efforts have hit some bumps along the way, including issues with a contact-tracing app and slow adoption of their digital ID system.
    • It’s a reminder that modernizing legacy systems isn’t just about replacing old hardware – it’s a complex process that involves changing long-standing processes and especially mindsets.

    02:36 Jonathan – “Yeah, I remember a couple of years ago they started talking about this modernization they were doing and people started to panic because Japan’s the largest purchaser of floppy disks anymore, or three and a half inch disks anyway. And so I ended up buying some because I’ve still got a USB floppy drive and some machines that have floppy disks. And I wanted just to stock up on some for the future, just in case the price went through the roof if Japan finally cut them and they have.”

    05:16 regreSSHion: Remote Unauthenticated Code Execution Vulnerability in OpenSSH server

    • The Qualys Threat Research Unit just dropped a bombshell – they’ve discovered a remote code execution vulnerability in OpenSSH that affects millions of Linux systems.
    • The vulnerability, dubbed “regreSSHion,” allows unauthenticated attackers to execute code as root on vulnerable systems.

    01:03 HashiCorp State of Cloud Strategy Survey 2024: Cloud Maturity is Elusive but Valuable

    • Hashicorp just released the results of its State of Cloud Survey, and guess what? Cloud maturity is pretty elusive. Weird…
    • Hashicorp finds that 8% of organizations qualify as Highly Mature, this results that the biggest benefits are cloud is only going to a small group of truly mature organizations.
      • Justin wonders if this is part of the cloud repatriation push?
      • Are other listeners seeing some of this, especially on places like LinkedIn? We’d love to hear.
    • Trailblazers are finding faster development speed, lower costs and reduced risks while others continue to struggle to create haves and have nots with enterprises getting different business outcomes.
    • Hashicorp collected responses from almost 1,200 technology practitioners and decision makers at organizations with more than 1000 employees.
    • 66% of respondents report that they have increased cloud spending in the last year, but 91% believe they are wasting money in the cloud, and 64% are experiencing a shortage of skilled staff.
    • 45% of low maturity organizations are still waiting for their cloud strategy to pay off!
    • One of the key takeaways from the survey is that the path to cloud maturity increasingly relies on platform teams to help automate and systemize cloud operations.
      • However, only half the respondents 42% say they rely on centralized platform teams to standardize cloud operations throughout their organization.
    • Platform teams help manage cloud, but also help address the skills shortage that has long plagued enterprise cloud adoption.
    • If only they’d pay for training.

    03:22 Jonathan – “The skill shortage thing really bugs me sometimes because there are plenty of skilled workers around and the reccs aren’t open for them. So I don’t think there aren’t qualified staff… yeah, it’s not a shortage because of the lack of people. It

    01:40 Finops X

    • Recently Justin attended FinOps in beautiful and sunny San Diego – and if you weren’t there, you really should plan on attending next year. This year’s topics included:
      • Focus 1.0
      • State of Vendors
    • Conference size – they will most likely outgrow this particular conference center, seeing as how they’re either selling out or pretty close to it.
    • Coolest thing about the conference – on stage all the biggies – TOGETHER.
      • It’s great to see them all together talking about how they’re making Finops better, and introducing new things for Finops and not just saving them for their own conferences.
    • Next Year – Is Oracle going to be on stage next year?

    08:22 Justin – “The shift left of FinOps was a big topic. You know, how do we get visibility? How do we show people what things are going to cost? How do we make sure that, you know, people are aware of what they’re doing? And so I think, you know, it’s just a recognition that is important and just as important as security is your cost. And in some ways security is part of your cost story. Because if you bankrupt your company, that’s a pretty bad security situation.”

    10:17 Introducing Managed OpenSearch: Gain Control of Your Cloud with Powerful Log Analysis

    • Listen. We don’t really *care* about OpenSearch – but the reality is it’s taking over the world. Nobody is doing ElasticSearch anymore.

    • Consul 1.19 is now generally available, improving the user experience, providing flexibility and enhancing integration points.
    • Consul 1.19 introduces a new registration custom resource definition (CRD) that simplifies the process of registering external services into the mesh.
    • Consul service mesh already supports routing to services outside of the mesh through terminating gateways. However, there are advantages to using the new Registration CRD.
    • Consul snapshots can now be stored in multiple destinations, previously, you could only snapshot to a local path or to a remote object store destination but not both.
    • Now you can take a snapshot of NFS Mounts, San attached Storage, or Object storage.
    • Consul API gateways can now be deployed on Nomad, combined with transparent proxy and enterprise features like admin partitions

    01:37 Matthew- “What I was surprised about, which I did not know, was that console API gateway can now be deployed on Nomad. Was it not able to be deployed before? Just feels weird… you know, consoles should be able to be deployed on nomad compared to that. You know, it’s all the same company, but sometimes team A doesn’t always talk to team B.”

    01:04 Simplify risk and compliance assessments with the new common control library in AWS Audit Manager

    • AWS Audit Manager is introducing a common control library that provides common controls with predefined and pre-mapped AWS data sources.
    • This makes it easy for the GRC teams to use the common control library to save time when mapping enterprise controls into Audit Manager for evidence collection, reducing their dependence on IT teams.
