Frequently Asked Questions

  • Threats include DDoS attacks, malware injection, and unauthorized access. Protect against them by using firewalls, intrusion detection systems, regularly updating software, employing strong authentication methods, and implementing access controls. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities and proactively mitigate risks.
  • Enable automatic updates where possible and regularly check for updates manually. Utilize package managers like apt (for Debian-based systems) or yum (for Red Hat-based systems) to keep your operating system and software packages up to date. Regularly review release notes for security patches and prioritize their installation. Consider implementing a patch management system to streamline the update process and ensure timely application of patches.

Consider options like vertical scaling (upgrading resources within the existing server) or horizontal scaling (adding more servers). Implement load balancing to distribute traffic evenly and ensure resource adequacy for anticipated growth. Regularly review and adjust your scalability strategy as your needs evolve. Conduct capacity planning exercises to forecast resource requirements and optimize infrastructure investments.
