Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Salt Grains vs Pillars

Salt Grains vs Pillars

Both grains and Pillars define input data to parameterize [Salt][1] states.

Depending on the purpose of data, one should make a choice to put it in one place or another.

NOTE:

  • This doc focuses on practical differences between Grains and Pillars for [default use case][2] only.
  • It is not about everything what is possible.

Envelope Encryption using AWS KMS, Python Boto, and PyCrypto.

If you use Amazon AWS for nearly anything, then you are probably familiar with KMS, the Amazon Key Management Service.

KMS is a service which allows API-level access to cryptographic primitives without the expense and complexity of a full-fledged HSM or CloudHSM implementation. There are trade-offs in that the key material does reside on servers rather than tamper-proof devices, but these risks should be acceptable to a wide range of customers based on the care Amazon has put into the product. You should perform your own diligence on whether KMS is appropriate for your environment. If the security profile is not adequate, you should consider a stronger product such as CloudHSM or managing your own HSM solutions.

The goal here is to provide some introductory code on how to perform envelope encrypt a message using the AWS KMS API.

KMS allows you to encrypt messages of up to 4kb in size directly using the encrypt()/decrypt() API. To exceed these limitations, you must use a technique called "envelope encryptio
