Google I/O 2023

Google held its annual I/O developer conference on May 11-12, 2023. The keynote address, delivered by CEO Sundar Pichai, focused on Google’s latest innovations in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing.

One of the most notable announcements was the launch of Palm 2, a new AI-powered coding assistant. Palm 2 can help developers write code faster and more efficiently by suggesting code completions, linting code, and providing explanations for its suggestions. It can also be used to debug code and find potential errors.

Google also announced a number of new features for its AI-powered productivity tools, including Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. These features use AI to help users write emails, create documents, and analyze data more efficiently.

In addition to AI, Google also focused on its cloud computing platform during the keynote. The company announced a number of new features for Google Cloud, including a new machine learning platform, a new database service, and a new container orchestration service.

Overall, the Google I/O 2023 keynote was a showcase of the company’s latest innovations in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing. These innovations are designed to help developers build better apps, websites, and services.

Webserver and SELinux

Finally got a chance to setup a webserver with selinux enabled. The most important thing is to set security context where the files located to be in httpd security context using ‘chcon’ command.

Here’s some example:

# chcon -v --type=httpd_sys_content_t /html
context of /html changed to user_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t
# chcon -v --type=httpd_sys_content_t /html/index.html
context of /html/index.html changed to user_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t
# ls -Z /html/index.html
-rw-r--r-- root root user_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /html/index.html
# ls -Z | grep html
drwxr-xr-x root root user_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t html

SELinux also by default denied httpd process to send an email. You can override this by using ‘setsebool’ command. Here’s some example using getsebool and setsebool.

# getsebool -a | grep httpd_can_sendmail
httpd_can_sendmail --> off
# setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail on
# getsebool -a | grep httpd_can_sendmail
httpd_can_sendmail --> on

That’s it.

Thank you
