Cloudflare Cache Reserve Walkthrough and Demo [Video]

Many organizations store large, infrequently changing assets like videos, images or large binary files on cloud provider networks for easy access. Unfortunately, any time an asset is fetched from the origin server, many cloud providers charge an egress fee. These egress fees can quickly add up and become a significant cost.

In this video I walk through how easy is is to onboard to Cloudflare CDN and how Cloudflare’s Cache Reserve helps minimize unnecessary egress fees by reducing origin egress and optimizing cache hit ratios. Watch directly below or on the Cloudflare YouTube channel here.

Python Tkinter/TK Library for Quick User Interfaces

Quite a while back, I used to use Tkinter/TK library quite often. Here’s a blog I wrote back in 2012 showcasing a XenServer client that connects to a Citrix XenServer or XenServer pool; the client can also perform management tasks and provides some advanced monitoring features. I create the UI for this app by leveraging the Tkinter/Tk library. Lately, I’ve written a few small utilities for different purposes and found Tkinter handy to quickly get up and going with a few buttons that perform some function when clicked. I wasn’t trying to be fancy in this case; just a basic UI shell I could quickly leverage and incorporate as a foundation for other small utilities. I went ahead and published it on Github for anyone just getting started, and below is the link to the code and a brief description. Continue reading
