• Hands on vDPA: what do you do when you ain't got the hardware v2 (Part 2)

  The vp_vpda is a vDPA driver for a virtio-pci device which bridges between a vDPA bus and virtio-pci device. It’s especially useful for future feature prototyping and testing.

  vp_vdpa can also be used for other purposes aside from testing — for example, as an implementation reference. Some functionalities can be extracted out of a pure virtio device code implementation, such as the masking of features to achieve virtual machine (VM) passthrough. Compared with the vdpa_sim, the vp_vdpa has a drawback in that it can only be used on a virtio-pci device.

  The following diagram shows the building blocks of a vp_vdpa device:

• Integrating identity management with single sign-on for Red Hat solutions

  In this article, we explain how to integrate identity management (IdM) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) with single sign-on (SSO) for Red Hat solutions.

  [...]

  The starting state of our environment is two separate RHEL 8 instances that are up and running and on the same network. One will run RHEL Identity Management and the other will run the single sign-on service.
