• • Enabling TLS 1.2 and disabling TLS 1.1, 1.0 and SSL 3.0 and SSL 2.0.
    • Test your Server to what SSL/TLS version you website uses – ssl labs
    • Enable/Disable TLS versions via a GUI  –  IISCrypto
  • Immutable Infrastructures – CoreOS
    • CoreOS is a linux distribution that is completely described by YAML
    • Kubernetes – learnt a bit more about it by actually installing it (kubespray), also, trying to do it in an “air-gapped” environment proved hard work
    • kubespray works by bootstrapping python onto the CoreOS nodes so it can use ansible.
    • Doing Immutable Infrastructure with deb packages?
    • Docker
    • Terraform
      • Plan & Apply stage
      • Providers talk to cloud provider APIs
    • Lab with PXE Booting using Ansible
  • Highly available Network Appliances on OpenStack
    • Allowed_Address_Pairs – 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1
    • Virtual MAC address between HA members, which means adding an extra Allowed_Address_Pairs pair per Virtual MAC address
    • Ansible with Jinja2 for the Allowed_Address_Pairs variable
  • Ansible 2.5 is out
    • With_SubElements has been depreciated – still works, but documentation refers to loop and lookup plugins
    • loops can have names now
    • roles: has been replaced by include_roles
    • Ansible Galaxy roles don’t need to be the files from galaxy.ansible.com – you can use Git repos.
  • Matrix.org / riot.im
    • Bridges to Telegram and others
    • Matrix.org runs bridges to IRC, Slack and Gitter and host some bots and plugins.
    • Other bridges are in-place (e.g. t2bot.io) and you can host your own.
    • French Government to use Matrix as their inter-government communication system
    • Synapse (Matrix.org homeserver) federates between all the other Synapse servers, and updates the servers when they all come back online. Demo at matrix.org.
  • Email about Postlayer (Email and Spam Filtering) being demised
    • Replaced by Fusemail
    • Discussed open source options (no conclusion)
  • Bullet journal revisited
    • Monthly too often – weekly…

• Audio Production by Dave Lee @thebugcast
• Fosstalk Live
• Glasgow Podcrawl
• Oggcamp

• Provisioning cloud environments with Ansible
• Ansible Modules
• The Inventory file
• Playbooks
• Variables
• Filters
• Jinja2
• Yaml
• Handlers
• Ansible Tower and it’s upstream project – AWX
• Example files by Jon
• Tags
• Example files by Al
• Roles
• Ansible Vault
• Hashing
• Jon’s Github Profile
• Al’s Github Profile
• Jerry’s Github Profile

We plug the following forthcoming events: FossTalk Live – 9th June at King’s Cross, London, Glasgow Podcrawl – 28th July, Glasgow and OggCamp – 18th and 19th August, Sheffield

We mention the following other things: Jerry’s Tech Blog, Bullet Journals, Hackable Podcast, Cool Tools Podcast, Centre for Computing History, Cambridge, and the fiction series Within the Wires.
