A reverse DNS proxy, also known as reverse DNS lookup or reverse DNS resolver, is a server or service that resolves IP addresses to domain names. Unlike forward DNS resolution, which translates domain names to IP addresses, reverse DNS is used to map IP addresses back to domain names. This capability is often used for … Read more
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients (such as web browsers) and the internet. It forwards client requests to web servers and returns the servers’ responses to clients. Proxies can enhance privacy by masking the client’s IP address and location, making it appear as though requests originate from the proxy server’s IP address. … Read more
A reverse proxy is a server or software application that sits between clients and backend servers, intercepting client requests and forwarding them to the appropriate backend servers. Unlike a traditional forward proxy that handles outbound client requests, a reverse proxy manages inbound client requests on behalf of backend servers. It acts as an intermediary that … Read more
Scalability in a network refers to its ability to efficiently accommodate growth in size or demand without compromising performance or functionality. A scalable network can handle increasing traffic, data volume, and user demands by adding resources or adjusting configurations, ensuring smooth operation even as requirements expand. Scalability is crucial for businesses and organizations that anticipate … Read more
A convolutional layer in a neural network, specifically designed for convolutional neural networks (CNNs), applies convolution operations to input data. These layers consist of filters (also known as kernels) that slide over input data, computing dot products between the filter weights and local regions of the input. The output of these operations forms feature maps … Read more
A neural network refers to a computational model inspired by the structure and functioning of biological neural networks found in the human brain. It consists of interconnected nodes called neurons, organized in layers. Each neuron processes input data, applies weights and biases, and passes the result through an activation function to produce an output. Neural … Read more
A neural network framework is a software library or toolset that provides functionalities and abstractions to design, build, and train neural networks. These frameworks offer APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and tools that simplify the implementation of neural network architectures, handling tasks such as defining layers, connecting neurons, specifying optimization algorithms, and managing model training and … Read more
Service mesh and Istio are closely related concepts in the realm of microservices architecture and Kubernetes. A service mesh refers to a dedicated infrastructure layer responsible for managing service-to-service communication within a distributed application. It typically consists of a set of lightweight, sidecar proxy instances deployed alongside each microservice instance. These proxies handle communication, providing … Read more
The Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is an extension of HTTP that provides secure communication over a computer network. HTTPS uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to encrypt data exchanged between the client and server. This encryption ensures that data transmitted, such as login credentials, personal information, and payment … Read more
Service mesh in Docker refers to the implementation of service mesh technologies within Docker container environments. Docker containers are widely used for packaging and deploying microservices-based applications due to their lightweight, portable nature. A service mesh in Docker extends these capabilities by managing communication between Dockerized microservices using sidecar proxy instances. These proxies intercept and … Read more
