This article will guide you on ways to resolve 'ovirt: unable to upload image to disk' error.

You can upload virtual disk images and ISO images to your data storage domain in the Administration Portal or with the REST API.

QEMU-compatible virtual disks can be attached to virtual machines. Virtual disk types must be either QCOW2 or raw. Disks created from a QCOW2 virtual disk cannot be shareable, and the QCOW2 virtual disk file must not have a backing file.

ISO images can be attached to virtual machines as CDROMs or used to boot virtual machines.

To Upload an Image to a Data Storage Domain:

1. Click Storage - Disks.

2. Select Start from the Upload menu.

3. Click Choose File and select the image to upload.

4. Fill in the Disk Options fields.

5. Click OK.

A progress bar indicates the status of the upload. You can pause, cancel, or resume uploads from the Upload menu.

KVM hypervisor How it Works

This article will guide you on how the KVM #hypervisor works. Basically, KVM is a type-2 hypervisor (installed on top of another OS, in this case some flavor of #Linux). 

It runs, however, like a type-1 hypervisor and can provide the power and functionality of even the most complex and powerful type-1 hypervisors, depending on the tools that are used with the KVM package itself.

KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V).

Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux or Windows images.

1. The main difference between Type 1 vs. Type 2 hypervisors is that Type 1 runs on bare metal and Type 2 runs on top of an operating system. 

2. Each hypervisor type also has its own pros and cons and specific use cases.

3. Xen is better than #KVM in terms of virtual storage support, high availability, enhanced security, virtual network support, power management, fault tolerance, real-time support, and virtual CPU scalability.

4. A Type 1 hypervisor takes the place of the host operating system. 

5. Type 1 hypervisors are highly efficient because they have direct access to physical hardware. 

6. This also increases their security, because there is nothing in between them and the CPU that an attacker could compromise.

This article will guide you about LiteSpeed vs Nginx on a performance basis. Basically,  LiteSpeed web server is much better in performance than the #NGINX server. 

However, it has not yet gained much popularity when compared to NGINX.

1. #LiteSpeed and Nginx use an event-driven architecture. 

2. Both are really good at serving static files, uses dramatically less memory and can handle more than four times more requests per second when compared to Apache.

3. HTTP/2 performance is a crucial metric for any modern web server. 

4. LiteSpeed takes HTTP/2 performance seriously with improvements.

This article will guide you on how to build serverless Web Application AWS #Lambda. 

1. The application architecture uses #AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Cognito, and AWS Amplify Console. 

2. Amplify Console provides continuous deployment and hosting of the static web resources including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image files which are loaded in the user's browser. 

3. JavaScript executed in the browser sends and receives data from a public backend API built using Lambda and API Gateway. 

4. Amazon Cognito provides user management and authentication functions to secure the backend API. 

5. Finally, #DynamoDB provides a persistence layer where data can be stored by the API's Lambda function.

This article will guide you on how to resolve MySQL error 1819 (HY000) which happens when creating a MySQL user with a relatively weak password.  

Because of validate_password_policy we applied on database, we are not able to change and assign simple or weak passwords it don't allow to to change password and came up with error.

To resolve this error, We can check validate_password_policy applied on machine. Also you can change your password under Low policy.

Solution to MySQL Error Your Password does not satisfy the Current Policy Requirements:

1. Set the Password_policy value to low, next is setting the same Password_Policy value in my.cnf file and the last is uninstalling the plugin that is used for validating password.

2. Set the Password_Policy to low:

Default Password level of plugin can be changed at runtime or using config file. 

To do this, default authentication plugin has to be checked:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'default authentication plugin';

3. For checking the current variables for validating the password you should run the following command:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';

4. Validate_password is a variable that is used to inform the server about the validate_password plugin. 

This plugin tests the passwords and improve security. 

Following output will be displayed, if you run the above command:

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'validate_password%';
