Is your AWS or Azure bill spiraling out of control? We analyze the technical and financial reality of cloud repatriation, local Norwegian compliance (Schrems II), and how to optimize Linux workloads for maximum ROI.
A battle-hardened guide to debugging CNI overlays, optimizing CoreDNS, and handling ingress traffic without a cloud load balancer. Written for DevOps engineers running K8s v1.22+ on Norwegian infrastructure.
Monitoring tells you the server is online. Observability tells you why the checkout endpoint has 300ms latency. We dissect the difference using the 'Three Pillars', configuring Prometheus v2.30, and explaining why low-latency infrastructure in Oslo is critical for real-time data ingestion.
Monoliths are safe; microservices are a distributed headache waiting to happen. Learn the architecture patterns—from Circuit Breakers to Sagas—that keep your cluster alive, and why infrastructure latency in Norway is your biggest hidden bottleneck.
If you can't measure it, you can't fix it. We dismantle the 'black box' of server performance using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK, while navigating the post-Schrems II compliance minefield in Norway.
Passive uptime checks are lying to you. In this guide, we architect a production-grade Prometheus and Grafana stack on Ubuntu 20.04, analyze critical kernel metrics, and explain why 'CPU Steal' is the silent killer of performance in shared hosting environments.
Stop configuration drift and solve Schrems II compliance headaches. A battle-tested guide to implementing GitOps workflows with Kubernetes, ArgoCD, and GitLab on high-performance Norwegian VPS.
Monitoring tells you the server is alive. Observability tells you why the database query took 400ms. We explore the shift from static dashboards to active debugging in a post-Schrems II world.
Navigating data sovereignty, latency, and redundancy in late 2021. A technical guide to hybrid cloud architectures using Terraform, WireGuard, and NVMe-backed local infrastructure.
Escape the unpredictable billing of public clouds. Learn how to deploy a GDPR-compliant, low-latency Serverless architecture using K3s and OpenFaaS on high-performance VDS infrastructure.
Default monitoring setups fail under load. Learn to architect a scalable Prometheus & Grafana stack on NVMe storage, compliant with Schrems II, specific to the Nordic infrastructure landscape.
Stop microservices spaghetti. A pragmatic guide to implementing Istio v1.11 for traffic management and mTLS, specifically optimized for Norwegian data compliance and high-performance KVM environments.
A battle-hardened comparison of container orchestrators in late 2021. We analyze the trade-offs between K8s complexity, Swarm simplicity, and Nomad flexibility, specifically for Nordic deployments facing Schrems II compliance.
Distributed systems fail. Retries are hard. In this deep dive, we explore how to implement Temporal.io for resilient microservices orchestration, why 'Workflow as Code' beats ad-hoc queues, and how to architect the backing infrastructure for high I/O throughput in a post-Schrems II landscape.
Stop debugging distributed systems with hope and tcpdump. We dissect how to implement Istio 1.11 on Kubernetes to solve latency, enforce mTLS, and keep the Datatilsynet happy—without melting your servers.
Is Kubernetes overkill for your workload? We analyze the K8s vs. Swarm debate through the lens of 2021's infrastructure reality, specifically focusing on latency, etcd performance on NVMe, and Norwegian data sovereignty (Schrems II).
Stop SSH-ing into production. In 2021, if it's not in Git, it doesn't exist. A battle-hardened guide to implementing ArgoCD and complying with Schrems II using Norwegian VPS infrastructure.
Configuration drift is the silent killer of uptime. Here is a rigid, 2021-compliant GitOps architecture using ArgoCD and GitLab that satisfies Datatilsynet requirements and keeps your weekends free.
Serverless doesn't have to mean AWS Lambda. In the wake of Schrems II, Norwegian CTOs are moving towards self-hosted FaaS on high-performance VPS to regain control over costs, latency, and data sovereignty.
Dashboards showing all green while users face 500 errors? That's the monitoring gap. We dissect the shift from static checks to high-cardinality observability using Prometheus, Loki, and OpenTelemetry on Norwegian infrastructure.
