The $1,000 AWS mistake

A missingVPC Gateway Endpointsent EC2-to-S3 traffic through aNAT Gateway, lighting up over$1,000in unnecessary data processing charges. All that for in-region traffic hitting an AWS service. Why?

GitLab Uncovers Massive npm Attack - Developers on High Alert
Slurm Workload Manager is an open-source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and scheduling system widely used in high-performance computing (HPC). Designed to operate without kernel modifications, Slurm coordinates thousands of compute nodes by allocating resources, launching and monitoring jobs, and managing contention through its flexible scheduling queue.

At its core, Slurm uses a centralized controller (slurmctld) to track cluster state and assign work, while lightweight daemons (slurmd) on each node execute tasks and communicate hierarchically for fault tolerance. Optional components like slurmdbd and slurmrestd extend Slurm with accounting and REST APIs. A rich set of commands—such as srun, squeue, scancel, and sinfo—gives users and administrators full visibility and control.

Slurm’s modular plugin architecture supports nearly every aspect of cluster operation, including authentication, MPI integration, container runtimes, resource limits, energy accounting, topology-aware scheduling, preemption, and GPU management via Generic Resources (GRES). Nodes are organized into partitions, enabling sophisticated policies for job size, priority, fairness, oversubscription, reservation, and resource exclusivity.

Widely adopted across academia, research labs, and enterprise HPC environments, Slurm serves as the backbone for many of the world’s top supercomputers, offering a battle-tested, flexible, and highly configurable framework for large-scale distributed computing.
