Weekly Tech Dose: September 13, 2025
I am a cloud enthusiast and a full time system administrator with passion for designing robust and efficient cloud architectures to empower businesses. As an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, I leverage my skills in Windows Server, DNS, Kubernetes, ECS, Route53, Docker, Ansible, KubeFlow, and Linux to create innovative solutions. I'm constantly expanding my knowledge, currently delving into MSSQL and Kubernetes, and staying updated on the latest cloud trends.
Ever miss a critical patch? 😰 Imagine logging in to find an unwanted guest in your system. For server admins, that's not a thriller movie—it's a preventable nightmare.
Staying updated is not just best practice, it's peace of mind.
Here's what you need to know from the last 24 hours:
☁️ Google Cloud
Cloud Run GPU support is GA 🎉 — Attach NVIDIA L4 Tensor Core GPUs to serverless containers. Perfect for ML inference, video encoding, and graphics-heavy workloads with autoscaling.
Datastream for MongoDB is live ✅ — Enabling CDC-based ingestion into BigQuery/Cloud Storage.
Data transfer pricing changes ahead of new EU regulations.
🖥️ Windows Server 2025 – Now Generally Available!
Hybrid-first with deeper Azure Arc integration
Stronger security: SMB over QUIC, Secured-Core servers, Credential Guard enhancements

🔻 Patch Tuesday – September 2025
86 vulnerabilities patched. Among them:
🔸 Critical RCE in SMB/NTLM & HPC Pack
🔸 Privilege escalation bugs in Windows Server 2025, 2022, and older versions
➡️ If your Windows Servers are internet-facing, patch NOW. Don't become the next headline.
🧠 My Take
Innovation in AI and cloud is thrilling, but nothing trumps security. Today's patches aren't optional—they're essential. Windows Server 2025 brings great features, but only if it's secure.
