Race Condition in DynamoDB DNS System: Analyzing the AWS US-EAST-1 Outage

A long AWS smackdown in US-EAST-1 traced back to a ticking time bomb inDynamoDB’s automated DNS system. The flaw torpedoed EC2 networking, hobbled Lambda and Fargate, and dragged down theNetwork Load Balancer. Endpoints ghosted. Configs stalled. Everything snowballed. AWS says they’ll upgrade EC2 th.. read more

You don’t need NAT gateway to deploy Lambda into VPC

AWS just made a big dent in NAT gateway bills. You can now runLambda in VPCs with IPv6 and an egress-only Internet gateway- no more always-on NAT draining your wallet. Keep the private subnets locked down. Still get outbound Internet access. IPv6 handles the traffic, slicing out the NAT middleman... read more

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

A former NASA engineer - now a Google Cloud AI infra alum - rips apart the idea of building GPU datacenters in orbit. His verdict: space is a terrible server rack. Power delivery? A nightmare. Heat dissipation? Worse in a vacuum. Radiation? Frying time. Even a 200kW solar rig (think ISS-sized) could.. read more

ArgoCD diffs at scale

Monday.com ditched ArgoCD's built-in manifest diffing. Instead, they wired up a custom CI renderer that pre-renders Helm charts using real cluster data. Then it compares the desired states across Git branches. The kicker: diffs go to a UI with custom grouping support. Reviews get easier. New devs ge.. read more

2025 Internet Trends: Explosive AI Crawling Growth and the Rise of 30+ Tbps DDoS Attacks

In 2025, Internet growth was driven less by humans and more by AI, with AI crawling and user-triggered access surging while post-quantum encryption secured over half of human web traffic. Security risks intensified as record-breaking DDoS attacks topped 30 Tbps and government-imposed shutdowns accounted for nearly half of major global outages.

2025 Internet Trends: Explosive AI Crawling Growth and the Rise of 30+ Tbps DDoS Attacks
The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) is an industry-backed foundation focused on strengthening the security of the global open source software ecosystem. It brings together major technology companies, cloud providers, open source communities, and security experts to address systemic security challenges that affect how software is built, distributed, and consumed.

OpenSSF was launched in 2021 and operates under the Linux Foundation, combining efforts from earlier initiatives such as the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) and industry-led supply chain security programs. Its mission is to make open source software more trustworthy, resilient, and secure by default, without placing unrealistic burdens on maintainers.

The foundation works across several key areas:

- Supply chain security: Developing frameworks, best practices, and tools to secure the software lifecycle from source to deployment. This includes stewardship of projects like sigstore and leadership on SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts).

- Security tooling: Supporting and incubating open source tools that help developers detect, prevent, and remediate vulnerabilities at scale.

- Vulnerability management: Improving how vulnerabilities are discovered, disclosed, scored, and fixed across open source projects.

- Education and best practices: Publishing guidance, training, and maturity models such as the OpenSSF Best Practices Badge Program, which helps projects assess and improve their security posture.

- Metrics and research: Advancing data-driven approaches to understanding open source security risks and ecosystem health.

OpenSSF operates through working groups and special interest groups (SIGs) that focus on specific problem areas like securing builds, improving dependency management, or automating provenance generation. This structure allows practitioners to collaborate on concrete, actionable solutions rather than high-level policy alone.

By aligning maintainers, enterprises, and security teams, OpenSSF plays a central role in reducing large-scale risks such as dependency confusion, compromised build systems, and malicious package injection. Its work underpins many modern DevSecOps and cloud-native security practices and is increasingly referenced by governments and enterprises as a baseline for secure software development.
