President Trump Is Shaming Nordstrom On Twitter, Facebook, And Instagram

President Donald Trump, unhappy his daughter Ivanka's fashion line was dropped by Nordstrom, lashed out Wednesday at the retailer on Twitter. And on Facebook. And on Instagram.

The multi-platform targeting of an American department store is new territory as far as US presidents go, but not entirely out of the ordinary for Trump, who has often used his social media accounts to fire away at those he believes wronged him.

“My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by Nordstrom,” the president tweeted. “She is a great person — always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible&033;”

Facebook: DonaldTrump

After posting the initial tweet on his @realDonaldTrump account, Trump reposted the language to Instagram and Facebook, and retweeted it from the @POTUS account, leading some to question if it was ethical for a sitting president to pressure a family business partner.

Trump has used his Instagram to attack opponents in the past, including Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton. While some imagined Trump might change his approach to social media once he took the presidency, there appears to be no change in his early days in the White House.

Trump is bringing a proven political social media strategy to bear on corporations with whom he&039;s displeased. Only now, instead of Jeb and Hillary, it&039;s Nordstrom and others.

Nordstrom, for its part, tweeted that the decision to drop Ivanka Trump&039;s fashion line was due to “business results.”

Press Secretary Sean Spicer defended Trump&039;s attacks at his press briefing today.

Setting up Red Hat CloudForms with Microsoft Active Directory (Video)

This video highlights the role-based access controls within Red Hat CloudForms and how they can be tied into Microsoft Active Directory, to leverage a company’s existing user and group structure. The goal of the video is to help customers understand how they can integrate CloudForms into their organizational structure with rather minimal setup.
Using this setup, operators can connect existing user and group structures and tie them to CloudForms roles. These roles can be customized and given granular permissions to most elements inside CloudForms.
Users can be granted access from the very top of the organization down to a specific resource (e.g. VM) and anywhere in between. Controls are used to grant users visibility into portions of the UI. For the UI they can see, controls can also be applied as to whether the user can perform the actions or simply view.
At a high level, the following areas are discussed in the video:

How to configure the integration with Active Directory/LDAP
How to map existing groups and users
Walk through role-based access control hierarchy

Additional details on authentication configuration, including LDAP, can be found on the Red Hat CloudForms Documentation.

Azure DocumentDB: Entry point for partitioned collections now 75% cheaper

Today we are pleased to announce that partitioned collections have an entry point 75% cheaper than before. Instead of provisioning 10,100 RU/sec as a minimum, you can now provision a partitioned collection at 2,500 RU/sec and scale in increments of 100 RU/sec. Partitioned collections enable you to dynamically scale your provisioning from as low as 2,500 RU/sec to millions of RU/sec with no limit on storage consumption.

DocumentDB billing model

The current Azure DocumentDB billing model gives far more granularity, elasticity, and scale than what S1, S2, and S3 performance levels provided. You no longer need to jump your throughput provisioning from 1,000 RU/sec to 2,500 RU/sec when you just need 1,200 RU/sec. Our goal is to make sure you have full flexibility in optimizing the utilization of your provisioned capacity.

The Azure DocumentDB billing model is very simple:

You pay for the provisioned capacity in increments of 100 request units/second (RU/sec). Each provisioned capacity of 100 RU/sec is billed at an hourly rate.
You pay a flat rate for the storage you consume.
The entry point for DocumentDB is at 400 RU/sec for a single partition. For a free use in a dev/test environment, we recommend the use of the DocumentDB emulator.

Single Partition or Partitioned Collection

You can start with a single partition if you expect your storage needs to be below 10 GB or your throughput needs not to exceed 10K RU/sec. Later on, you can always change to partitioned collections by using the migration tool. For more information about migrating from single-partition to partitioned collections, see Migrating from single-partition to partitioned collections.

However, if you expect a large amount of volume or performance needs, you should start with a partitioned collection. The following table provides an overview of single partition versus partitioned collections.

Decreasing your provisioned throughput for partitioned collections

If you already have a partitioned collection, but don’t need the 10,100 RU/sec throughput, you can lower your provisioning through the Azure portal or the SDK. Here is an example to adjust the provisioning level to 2,500 RU/sec.

Through the Azure portal

From your DocumentDB account, click Scale, choose your collection, and then adjust your throughput value.

Through the SDK

//Fetch the resource to be updated

Offer offer = client.CreateOfferQuery()

.Where(r => r.ResourceLink == collection.SelfLink)

.AsEnumerable()

.SingleOrDefault();

// Set the throughput to 2,500 request units per second

offer = new OfferV2(offer, 2500);

//Now persist these changes to the database by replacing the original resource

await client.ReplaceOfferAsync(offer);

If you have additional questions about partitioned collections or going planet-scale with DocumentDB, please reach out to us on the developer forums on Stack Overflow. Also, stay up-to-date on the latest DocumentDB news and features by following us on Twitter @DocumentDB.
