I can’t get this out of my head so hopefully posting it here will free my brain to enjoy the rest of my post-conf vacation in Vegas. Most databases are not in the DMZ. They perhaps can call out locally, but not to the Internet. This is not a “crazy” or rare setup, especially for [...]

The features that will be the most useful for our shop are: defining sections for [...]
