Workaround for WSL2 network broken on VPN

Overview

Internet connection and DNS routing are broken from WSL2 instances, when some VPNs are active.

The root cause seems to be that WSL2 and the VPN use the same IP address block, and the VPN routing clobbers WSL2's network routing.

This problem is tracked in multiple microsoft/WSL issues including, but not limited to:

Keytool Cheat Sheet

Keytool CheatSheet 🔐

Some history

This cheat sheet came into life when I started working on a tutorial of setting up one way tls and two way tls, which can be found here: GitHub - Mutual TLS SSL

Creation and importing

Generate a Java keystore and key pair

keytool -genkeypair -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore keystore.jks -alias server -validity 3650
Questions are not from any actual exam!!!
Q: Create a job that calculates pi to 2000 decimal points using the container with the image named perl
and the following commands issued to the container: ["perl", "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
Once the job has completed, check the logs to and export the result to pi-result.txt.

Example Kubernetes pod for the multi-container sidecar design pattern
# Example YAML configuration for the sidecar pattern.
# It defines a main application container which writes
# the current date to a log file every five seconds.
# The sidecar container is nginx serving that log file.
# (In practice, your sidecar is likely to be a log collection
# container that uploads to external storage.)

Misc. Tips & Tricks

  • If values are integers in [0, 255], Parquet will automatically compress to use 1 byte unsigned integers, thus decreasing the size of saved DataFrame by a factor of 8.
  • Partition DataFrames to have evenly-distributed, ~128MB partition sizes (empirical finding). Always err on the higher side w.r.t. number of partitions.
  • Pay particular attention to the number of partitions when using flatMap, especially if the following operation will result in high memory usage. The flatMap op usually results in a DataFrame with a [much] larger number of rows, yet the number of partitions will remain the same. Thus, if a subsequent op causes a large expansion of memory usage (i.e. converting a DataFrame of indices to a DataFrame of large Vectors), the memory usage per partition may become too high. In this case, it is beneficial to repartition the output of flatMap to a number of partitions that will safely allow for appropriate partition memory sizes, based upon the
