Skip SSL Host verification with ElasticSearch Client

When enabling ElasticSearch to use https for inter-component communication, it uses self-signed certs by default. These certs are generated by the eck-operator itself.

In case infrastructure and management processes for self-signed certs and truststore generation is not an option for you, disabling certificate verification seems to be an easy solution to the missing cert management part.

For example after spinning up a single node cluster the different Kibana indexes may look like

Microsoft Teams Outlook AddIn Hacks

In projects inclined to the Microsoft ecosystem, Teams is probably the best collaboration option, especially if your team members are dislocated. Probably because using different Office 365 accounts i had a hard time getting the Teams-Addin to work with Outlook. This is a know problem as you can find numerous articles on the web from people asking for help about this issue. Microsoft is working to enhance the Teams / Outlook experience.

One especially helpful article was Missing Teams Outlook Add-in by Michael LaMontagne (@RealTimeUC). Michael was the only one trying to dig deeper into the nitty-gritty details of COM-registration between Outlook and the Teams .NET application, deployed using Squirrel.Windows (as most Electron-based desktop-apps on Windows, e.g. Slack etc.).

He finally got the Teams-AddIn working by duplicating registry keys from a working machine. However, after reviewing the Teams & Teams
