Intel has certified Shell's lubricant-based method for cooling servers more efficiently within data centers used for AI. From a report: The announcement on Tuesday, which follows the chipmaker's two-year trial of the technology, offers a way to use less energy at AI facilities, which are booming and are expected to double their electricity demand globally by 2030, consuming as much power then as all of Japan today, according to the International Energy Agency. So far, companies have largely used giant fans to reduce temperatures inside AI data centers, which generate more heat in order to run at a higher power. Increasingly, these fans consume electricity at a rate that rivals the computers themselves, something the facilities' operators would prefer to avoid, Intel Principal Engineer Samantha Yates said in an interview.

In an age where data breaches and cyber threats are growing both in frequency and sophistication, securing your Linux system is more important than ever. Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distributions, comes with a powerful security tool that many users overlook — AppArmor. Designed to provide a robust layer of defense, AppArmor enhances Ubuntu's built-in security model by confining programs with access control profiles.

This article will walk you through the ins and outs of AppArmor, explain why it's a crucial part of a hardened Ubuntu system, and teach you how to leverage it to protect your environment.

Understanding AppArmor: What It Is and Why It Matters

AppArmor (Application Armor) is a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system that supplements the traditional Discretionary Access Control (DAC) provided by Linux file permissions. While DAC relies on user and group ownership for access control, MAC goes a step further by enforcing rules that even privileged users must obey.

AppArmor operates by loading security profiles for individual applications, specifying exactly what files, capabilities, and system resources they are allowed to access. This approach prevents compromised or misbehaving applications from harming the rest of the system.

AppArmor vs. SELinux

While SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) is another MAC system popular on Red Hat-based distributions, AppArmor is often preferred in Ubuntu environments for its ease of use, human-readable syntax, and simple profile management. Where SELinux can be daunting and complex, AppArmor offers a more user-friendly approach to strong security.

Core Concepts of AppArmor

Before diving into how to use AppArmor, it's important to understand its core concepts:

Profiles

A profile is a set of rules that define what an application can and cannot do. These are usually stored in the /etc/apparmor.d/ directory and loaded into the kernel at runtime.

Modes

• Enforce: The profile is actively enforced, and actions outside the defined rules are blocked.

• Complain: The profile logs rule violations but doesn’t enforce them, which is useful for debugging.

Profile Components

Profiles specify permissions for:

• File access (read, write, execute)

• Capabilities (e.g., net_admin, sys_admin)

• Network operations

• Signals and inter-process communications
