Having some trouble finding a workable solution for MariaDB key management.
In the words of one of our devops guys - "File key management is somewhat akin to taping your car's key to the windscreen". So, we are looking for a secure way to implement data-at-rest encryption, but we are having trouble with both of the other options listed in the documentation.
AWS KMS
The MariaDB documentation states the following:
The AWS Key Management plugin depends on the AWS SDK for C++, which uses the Apache License, Version 2.0. This license is not compatible with MariaDB Server's GPL 2.0 license, so we are not able to distribute packages that contain the AWS Key Management plugin. Therefore, the only way to currently obtain the plugin is to install it from source.
Our servers are managed, and the response we received from the devops team was:
Building things from source is quite an anti-pattern within the
context of a Puppet-managed environment, so we need to figure out if
this is doable in a sane and sustainable way
Eperi Key Management
The MariaDB documentation states the following:
It reads encryption keys from eperi Gateway for Databases.
I contacted Eperi to get information about their Gateway for Databases solution, and this was the response I received from their sales team:
We will not be able to serve you. Please look for another way.
So Im at a bit of a dead end here :(
Has anybody in a similar situation been able to find a workable solution?

I need to use Vision API to OCR sensitive documents (passeports/IDs...). But Google Cloud doesn't seem to meet GDPR requirements and I'd prefer hosting the models on our servers.
Vision OCR On-prem exists (https://cloud.google.com/vision/on-prem) but I can't find any other information on how to install or use it. Only the pricing.
Has anyone ever done this before ? Is there any public documentation ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
If you don't want to jump through the hoops of working with Google's sales team for the on-prem vision solution, but you don't have an ML background to train/retrain your own model, you might consider Google AutoML. This would allow you to retrain a model with minimal effort - all in their web-based console - and the results would be downloadable and able to run on various platforms such as mobile (TFLITE) or in the browser (TFJS).
You can read about Vision API's data usage here: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/data-usage Note that Vision API doesn't retain your data.
If you still want to use Vision API OCR onprem anyway, you would have to contact sales: https://cloud.google.com/contact

I wanted to know if Oracle 11gR2 database is migrated to Oracle cloud without upgrading the version, then does oracle cloud provide us with extended support, as oracle 11gR2 is reaching end of support on Dec 2020.
I found 4 methods for migrating Oracle 11gR2 to Oracle cloud 11gR2 database, But I am not sure if Oracle cloud provides extension period for expiring database.
If you adopt a Bring Your Own License approach, then I think you will be as you should be covered as part of your existing support agreement. I presume you're on a sustaining support agreement (https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Oracle%20Cloud/2068368_1.html) Your Oracle account manager will be able to confirm.
Have you considered using the use of OCI as an opportunity to move to autonomous - free yourself from patching and security considerations?

While connecting google cloud with WinScp SFTP Connwction gives the no supported authentication methods available google cloud error (Server Sent:public key) Any Solution ?
If you could make a clearer question, it would help you to obtain a good response. Nonetheless, let me provide mine.
Google Cloud Platform documentation has a section to connect to your VM instances through the WinScp client. The most probable cause of your issue is the absence or a wrong configuration of your public or private key.
If you already have a pair of keys try to look for them, this link can help you. But if not, your should create a pair of private-public keys, for example to create such keys in Linux this command is normally used:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/[KEY_FILENAME] -C [USERNAME]
be aware of leaving blank the passphrase to ensure a straightforward connection and no other password will be required during the connection from WinScp. Here you can find the complete steps to do that.
Afterwards, you have to be able to configure your private key in you WinScp client in the Authentication section, just like it is explained here.
Hope it helps you!

Been looking around on the web for one of these, but I'm only finding node.js/ruby hosted implementations.
I'm keen to have a DynamoDB app, something like that of the navicat ilk that comes with an msi installer to get running quickly.
Maybe there's a valid reason as to why one of these doesn't exist yet?
If you are using DynamoDB local for development you can use the built-in DynamoDB shell: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Tools.DynamoDBLocal.Shell.html
http://localhost:8000/shell
UPDATE: Amazon does also provide an official client: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/workbench.html
I'm not aware of a dedicated desktop application for using Amazon DynamoDB from Windows yet.
However, the AWS Toolkits for Eclipse and Visual Studio both allow you to create tables, insert and edit data, initiate table scans, and more, straight from your local development environment (see the introductory post AWS Toolkits for Eclipse and Visual Studio Now Support DynamoDB).
So depending on your use case this might be all you need (or even better, if this is targeting a development scenario).
Update
The AWS team has just announced the option to Explore Your DynamoDB Tables Using the AWS Management Console as well:
You can now view and modify the contents of your DynamoDB tables from
within the AWS Management Console. With the addition of this new
feature, you can learn by doing -- trying out a number of DynamoDB
features without even writing any code. You can create a table, add
some items, and see them in the table, all through a very clean and
simple user interface.
This is obviously a very convenient addition to the rich client options referenced in my initial answer above, please check out the post itself for a short illustrated tour to help you get started.
RazorSQL Database GUI Tool for Amazon DynamoDB
http://razorsql.com/articles/razorsql_amazon_dynamodb.html
Amazon provides a local client for DynamoDb. It's a java jar and it runs on Linux and Windows.
It starts a server that binds to port 8000 at localhost (or you can specify another port when you start the server).
Download and unpack the desktop client, change the endpoint inside your app to localhost:8000, and then you can use the desktop client for DynamoDb.
Here you can download and read about installing the dynamodb desktop client.

What licensing issues arise if I install and use Microsoft Office software (in this case Visio) as part of my web service backend?
My company's flagship piece of software can convert Microsoft Visio files for use in their environment, but of course requires a local install of Visio to decode the files. The system I'm to create is to offer a sort of web service where people can upload their Visio files, and then we can show off the benefits of buying our full price software.
In order to do this I'd need an install of our software on the server, as well as Visio. What I'm a little concerned about is technically any visitor to the site is technically using Visio. I can't really find any other examples when searching online (it doesn't help when things like "server", "cloud" are essentially buzzwords) so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I don't know the legal details but MS say if you do this every user would require a Visio Licence. You can certainly do it technically but MS also warn that office automation was intended to be done in an interactive session - I take this to mean they don't guarantee that its not going to pop up a dialog or something at some point. They provide server side options for most office products but not Visio.
I don't know what your application is but I can think of three options that may be relevant:
Create a downloadable application that opens Visio and converts the file to your internal format and then uploads it to your server
Have files uploaded to the server which then creates a task for someone in your company to download the file and do something with it. You could significantly automate this process
Get the users to upload VDX files and process the data as XML
Note if your application is using Visio in such a way that you don't have your own internal data structure can you use option 1 and just have some of the functionality done on the server through authenticate web services? this way they get to see what it can do but it only works while connected to your server.
