.SE and DNSSEC (update)

Growth of signed .SE domains (http://www.iss.se/)
Before the holidays we wrote a blog post on how Atomia DNS has helped to sign a significant number of zones. During the holidays our friends over at Binero went full throttle on signing zones and the result is shown in the official graph from .SE above. Last week Atomia DNS automated the signing of more than 100.000 zones.
Atomia DNS helps to sign a significant number of zones

Growth of signed .SE domains (http://www.iss.se/)
Our Swedish clients have now started to sign zones using the Atomia DNS software and as shown in the graph above it has had quite some impact on the DNSSEC statistics for the Swedish ccTLD.
As stated in our blog post ‘DNSSEC is coming – Are you ready?‘, .SE is one of the leading ccTLDs rolling out DNSSEC. A result of this is that the ISPs in Sweden have DNSSEC capable resolvers and that the signed zoned will be secured for real and not just in theory.

I’m back in Västerås again after a whole day of cloud talks in the capital of Sweden.
The concept of CloudCamp, as explained by Mr. Reuven Cohen (Founder & CTO of Enomaly and co-creator of CloudCamp), is to gather interesting people to talk about the cloud over a beer. This might have worked a few years ago, before cloud became the word on everyone’s lips. Today, CloudCamps are organized all around the globe, engaging thousands of people with one common interest. The cloud.

How to process the PreShutdown event in a managed Windows service
Posted in Development on Wednesday, November 16th, 2011.
If you liked the post about Hyper-V guests in different time zones, here is one more article that comes from our development work on the new OpenStack and Hyper-v based setup of Atomia Hosting Platform.
Several of our products ship some windows services which we use to do periodic background tasks. For example, Automation Server uses a service to perform long-running automation tasks. During a system shutdown, it is important that the service has enough time to cleanly exit and not be terminated in the middle of some complex operation.
Whereas Windows will not shutdown until all applications in the user’s session are properly closed, this does not hold true for services, which only have 12 seconds to process a Shutdown notification, which might be too short for your service. The good news is that Microsoft introduced the PreShutdown event for services in Vista, which you can use in your service’s code to get 3 extra minutes (or even more) to shutdown your service.
