Week 3 blog

 Buying a CPU can be a tough task if you do not know how to go about it or have a tech experience. The video explains in detail how to purchase a video. I learn that it is always good to have a budget and to make a right depending on the performance per dollar spend but buying a CPU, you must consider the hardware that will carry the CPU. That is price of the CPU, and the hardware should be considered to know the value of the CPU. Buy the CPU and its accompanying hardware brand new without looking at the used market due to the availability and pricing and the CPU cost should not be more than 50% of the budget for the system.

Purchasing a CPU should depend on the purpose of the system that is gaming, workstation and allrounder. Since I am not a gamer, I will focus on a $1000 workstation, because of availability and performance, the Core i7 8700k and Ryzen 7 2700x will fit well for my budget since GPU, memory, motherboard, storage and cooler should be considered in the budget.

Core i3, Corei5 or Core i7

Product naming is important for processors. Core i3 has two processing cores and hyperthreading for multitasking, will consume less power and a smaller cache.

Core i5 has improved onboard graphics and turbo boost for temporary performance enhancements whenever the system needs more power.

Core i7 can have from 2-8 cores, can support up to 2 -8 memory sticks and hyperthreading for heavy workload. It can have TDP from 10W-130W, more cache, faster turbo boost, better onboard graphics than Core i3 and Core i5.

Week 6 Cloud Computing

     Key Features of Azure DNS DNS Hosting : Azure DNS allows you to host your DNS domains in Azure. You can manage your DNS records using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services. Public and Private DNS Zones : Public DNS Zones : These are used for hosting domains accessible over the internet. You can manage DNS records for your public domains using Azure DNS. Private DNS Zones : These are used for managing and resolving domain names within your virtual network without configuring a custom DNS solution. This is useful for internal name resolution within your Azure environment. DNS Resolution : Azure DNS provides fast and reliable DNS resolution using a global network of name servers. Anycast networking allows DNS queries to automatically route to the closest name servers for the best possible performance.   DNS Private Resolver : This service enables you to query Azure DNS private zones from an on-premises...

System Hardening Week 12.

  Network automation offers several compelling benefits, and its impact on IT professionals is significant. Below are some advantages.   Benefits of Network Automation: It eliminates manual tasks by automating network processes. This boosts IT productivity, allowing professionals to focus on strategic initiatives that drive business growth. Network automation enables faster provisioning of critical data services, optimizes network performance, and speeds up the rollout of new services and applications. Previously infrequent network changes have become more frequent due to automation, reducing manual adjustments' time-consuming and resource-intensive nature. It helps build a reliable network for an infrastructure-as-code approach that consistently maintains network state and configuration, enhancing reliability from data centers to edge location...
