AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D is official, and it shakes things up in a big way

AMD has officially confirmed the release of Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a CPU that aims to improve gaming performance with 3D V-Cache technology.
The CPU is priced at $479, offering an average gaming increase of 8% over the last-gen CPU and 20% faster gaming performance compared to Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K.
Using the second generation of 3D V-Cache, AMD has made a big change by placing the cache below the processor, allowing for better cooling and a maximum boost clock speed of 5.2GHz.
While the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has similar specs to its predecessor, it is the first 3D V-Cache processor fully unlocked for overclocking.

Securing Your Infrastructure on Amazon EC2

To protect your data and workloads in the cloud, you need to understand how to secure your infrastructure. AWS provides robust security features, and this article walks you through key infrastructure security practices for Amazon EC2.
Secure Access to Amazon EC2 instances is the first step to securing your EC2 environment. AWS requires connections to EC2 to use encryption protocols like TLS 1.2 or 1.3. Use AWS access keys or temporary security credentials to authenticate API requests.
Amazon EC2 runs within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), which is like having your own private network in the cloud. Use separate subnets for different purposes, and if certain instances don't need to be accessed directly from the internet, place them in private subnets.
Restricting network traffic is vital for protecting your instances. Use Security Groups and Network ACLs to manage traffic. Security Groups are virtual firewalls for your EC2 instances. Network ACLs act as an additional layer of security at the subnet level.
Keeping an eye on what’s happening in your environment is crucial for maintaining security. Use VPC Flow Logs to identify unusual patterns or unauthorized access attempts. AWS GuardDuty detects potential threats and helps you respond quickly to security issues.
Amazon EC2 integrates seamlessly with other AWS services to enhance your security. Use AWS PrivateLink to connect to AWS services securely through private IPs. AWS Security Hub provides a comprehensive view of your security status across AWS accounts.
If you're using Windows on EC2, there are additional steps to consider. Use Group Policy Objects (GPO) to manage firewall settings across your instances. Control user access centrally using AWS Directory Service. Adopt the principle of least privilege.
The key to securing your Amazon EC2 infrastructure is adopting a layered security approach. Regularly review and update your security settings to keep up with evolving threats.
Security is an ongoing process. By following these best practices, you can design a cloud environment tailored to your needs, and with a robust security framework that protects your data and workloads.

Concerned about your data use? Here is the carbon footprint of an average day of emails, WhatsApps and more

We have an insatiable appetite for data, we can’t stop generating it, and, just like oil, it’s turning out to be bad news for the environment.
An email generates 17g of CO2 emissions, according to estimates by a professor at Lancaster University’s Environment Centre.
The vast transfer of data through the internet from one place to another, brokered through datacentres, involves a lot of energy and water to keep all those servers cool.
Big tech companies such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft are building datacentres around the world to meet increasing demand for data.
All our online activity generates 8.62kg of CO2 on average each week, according to Zero Waste Scotland.
Watching an hour of Netflix was equivalent to boiling a kettle once: about 36g of CO2.
The average WhatsApp group chat uses 2.35kg of CO2 a week, while streaming music for five hours emits 288g of CO2.
Big tech companies buy carbon credits and offsets to try to mitigate their impact on the environment.
The tech industry’s embrace of generative AI has complicated matters and it is an area where there are no published numbers.
People are urged to practice “digital sobriety”, being mindful about how they use AI and other digital tools.

SAP S/4HANA Migration: What IT Executives Need to Know

Migrating to a cloud ERP system is a critical step in digital transformation.
IT executives should focus on three strategic considerations: choosing between the GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP offerings, exploring possible migration paths, and making necessary IT infrastructure adjustments.
RISE with SAP is designed for large enterprises and corporations seeking comprehensive transformation, while GROW with SAP is ideal for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) looking for quick and cost-effective cloud ERP migration.
Companies can choose between system conversion (brownfield approach), new implementation (greenfield approach), or selective data transition (hybrid approach) as migration paths to SAP S/4HANA.
Migrating to SAP S/4HANA requires adapting the IT infrastructure, including cloud migration, integration, data management, and addressing security and compliance needs.
