The term Dynamic DNS, or DDNS, describes a mechanism with which a DNS system is automatically updated as soon as the associated IP address (or domain) is changed.
A classic application of DDNS is when a host with a public IP must be in perfect correspondence with the same domain name.
In order to work, a DDNS requires a client to be installed on the host which owns the interested IP address or, as an alternative, it’s often integrated with the firmware of gateways and routers.


The term
public key infrastructure (PKI) usually describes the set of technologies that allow users on the Internet to establish secure connections to Web sites, services and other users. Such connections are secure thanks to the use of private and public encryption keys, which are provided by a dedicated authority called Certification Authority.

Previous articles -> Microsoft believes in containers, too - Windows Server 2016 TP4 is now available

After a development period that started in 2014, last October finally the definitive version of Windows Server 2016 came out.

Windows Server 2016, available in the EssentialStandard and Datacenter editions, offers a lot of news with this release, mostly oriented in terms of security and scalability related to new software-defined architectures. The main difference with the past is the new licensing model: Microsoft now adopts a core-based (hyper-threading excluded) management instead of the previous socket-based approach. New licences will be calculated according to the number of cores of the server the OS will be installed on, instead of being calculated on the basis of the physical processors available. This decision comes, apart from arguments about marketing and profit margins linked with scalable infrastructures, from the will of the Redmond colossus of aligning to the new requirements of the Cloud world (and to those will sell Cloud infrastructures), where the boundaries between physical and hardware resources has become very subtle. A licensing model that considers cores and not processors is, for instance, very useful when quoting hosting plans, as the computational power unit is the single core indeed, and not the whole processor.

In general the use of Windows Server 2016 will require to licence all physical cores of the server with the minimum activation of 8 licences per-core (each covering two cores) for each processor, also in the case of quad-core processors, and with at least 16 per-core licences for each physical server (with dual-socket servers). Furthermore, licences will be sold in non-fractionable packets with two cores each.
