Notes
- 1.
A resource pool is a logical abstraction that helps manage resources and allocate them to address the need of different workloads.
- 2.
NVMe (nonvolatile memory express) is a new storage access and transport protocol for flash and next-generation solid-state drives (SSDs) that delivers the highest throughput and fastest response times yet for all types of enterprise workloads.
- 3.
A method of mirroring or striping data on clusters of low-end disk drives; data is copied onto multiple drives for faster throughput, error correction, fault tolerance, and improved mean time between failures.
- 4.
Network File System is a networking protocol used for distributed file sharing over a network.
- 5.
An identity provider (IdP) is a service that creates, stores, and manages digital identities for principals. Companies use these services to allow their employees or users to connect with the resources they need.
- 6.
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is an open, vendor-neutral, industry-standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol network.
- 7.
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an open standard that allows identity providers (IdP) to pass authorization credentials to service providers (SPs).
- 8.
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), a software component developed by Microsoft, can run on Windows Server operating systems to provide users with single sign-on access to systems and applications.
- 9.
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the underlying compute resources (source: https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/features).
- 10.
Short for regular expression, a regex is a string of text that lets you create patterns that help match, locate, and manage text (source: www.computerhope.com/jargon/r/regex.htm).
- 11.
Nessus is a proprietary remote vulnerability scanner developed by Tenable, Inc., which can scan a computer and raise an alert if it discovers any vulnerabilities that malicious hackers could exploit.
- 12.
Wireshark is a free and open source packet analyzer.
- 13.
Generic Routing Encapsulation, or GRE, is a protocol for encapsulating data packets that use one routing protocol inside the packets of another protocol. “Encapsulating” means wrapping one data packet within another data packet, like putting a box inside another box (source: www.cloudflare.com/learning/network-layer/what-is-gre-tunneling/).
- 14.
A SPAN port (sometimes called a mirror port) is a software feature built into a switch or router that creates a copy of selected packets passing through the device and sends them to a designated SPAN port (source: www.gigamon.com/resources/resource-library/white-paper/to-tap-or-to-span.html).
