Parts of a computer

First off, this is a non-technical article. This is a very different direction from my normal articles, but as you read, you’ll see that this is the intention. I’ve been working with computers for over 30 years. Even back in junior high school, computers always came easily to me. I’m lucky like that. I simply always just “knew” how to make a computer do whatever I wanted it to. I just seemed to inherently know how to “bend it to my will” as some of my friends would say. Needless to say, others I know aren’t as fortunate, so I have been asked many, many times over the years about the different parts of the computer, what they do, etc.

How to Use the Version 10.0 PAN-OS API

Posted by Charles Buege on Feb 12, 2021 4:36:25 PM

By Charles Buege, Fuel Editorial Advisory Committee Member, Chicago Fuel Chapter Leader

When it comes to automation, one of the most important tools to have is knowing how to make API calls. The PAN-OS has several different ways of doing this. In this article, I will concentrate on version 10, since it’s the latest version of the PAN-OS, and I will also be using the REST API instead of the XML API primarily, as that is my personal preference. There is one point where using the XML API is the only option and I will go into that later on.

AJ Headshot2Everything was going well for AJ Yawn, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he could be doing better.

Yawn has a bachelor’s degree in social science from Florida State University (where he played on the men’s basketball team) and a master’s degree in technology management from Georgetown University. He had spent five years in the U.S. Army, ascending to the rank of Captain. After leaving the Army, he was working in the cybersecurity field as an auditor, performing SOC 2 examinations and ensuring people’s cloud environments were meeting SOC 2 requirements.
