Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Kubernetes networking isn't magic—it's complex Linux routing. We dive into the CNI chaos, overlay network latency, and why your choice of underlying KVM infrastructure in Norway matters for production workloads.
Moving from monolith to microservices requires more than just Docker. We explore critical patterns like Service Discovery with Consul, API Gateways with NGINX, and why infrastructure latency defines success in the Nordic market.
Backup is not disaster recovery. In this guide, we dismantle common data safety myths, explore 2016's evolving privacy regulations in Norway, and implement a master-slave replication architecture using KVM and NVMe storage.
Is your API gateway choking under load? We dissect the Linux kernel parameters and Nginx configurations required to handle massive concurrency in 2016, specifically focusing on the Norwegian hosting landscape.
Breaking the monolith is the trend of 2016, but network latency and IOPS bottlenecks will kill your deployment. Here is a battle-tested guide to microservices architecture using Nginx, Docker, and Consul on high-performance infrastructure.
It's September 2016, and Docker is everywhere. But most deployments in Norway are fundamentally insecure. Here is the battle-hardened guide to locking down your containers before you leak data.
Is your build time long enough to brew a pot of coffee? It's time to fix your pipeline. We break down how to tune Jenkins 2.0, leverage Docker 1.12, and why hardware I/O is the silent killer of deployment speed.
Moving to microservices introduces network chaos. Learn how to implement a service discovery and routing layer using Linkerd (or Nginx+Consul) on high-performance infrastructure, without sacrificing latency.
Running Docker as root is a ticking time bomb. This guide covers essential container security hardening, from dropping Linux capabilities to enabling user namespaces, specifically tailored for Norwegian infrastructure standards.
A battle-hardened look at Kubernetes 1.3 networking, CNI plugins, and why overlay networks might be killing your latency. Learn how to configure kube-proxy properly on Norwegian infrastructure.
It is August 2016, and the old way of monitoring servers is dead. 'Is it up?' is the wrong question. We dive into the shift towards whitebox monitoring, ELK stacks, and Prometheus 1.0 to debug the 'unknown unknowns' on your VPS.
Stop blaming the network. Learn how to diagnose high load, interpret 'steal time', and visualize application latency using native Linux tools and the ELK stack.
Microservices solve organizational scaling but introduce networking nightmares. We explore the emerging 'Service Mesh' pattern using Linkerd and HAProxy to handle circuit breaking, discovery, and latency without polluting your application code.
Kubernetes networking is where most clusters fail. In this deep dive, we dissect the CNI landscape of 2016, compare Flannel vs. Calico, and explain why underlying virtualization choice defines your packet throughput.
Relying solely on AWS or Azure creates a single point of failure and latency issues for Scandinavian users. Here is how to architect a redundant, compliant multi-cloud stack using Ansible and local infrastructure.
A battle-hardened look at the Kubernetes 1.3 network model. We break down CNI, overlay trade-offs, and why low-latency infrastructure is critical for microservices in the Nordic region.
Why your Zabbix or Graphite instance is choking on disk writes, and how to architect a high-availability monitoring stack using NVMe storage and proper database tuning in a post-Safe Harbor Europe.
Hardware fails. RAID controllers panic. In the wake of the Safe Harbor ruling, relying on US-based backups is a compliance nightmare. Here is a pragmatic, code-heavy guide to DR planning for Norwegian infrastructure.
Is your AWS bill spiralizing out of control? Discover why hyperscalers might be draining your budget and how migrating to NVMe-based VDS in Norway can slash TCO while boosting I/O performance.
Latency kills conversion. We explore practical edge computing architectures available today—from MQTT aggregation to Varnish caching—to keep your Norwegian traffic fast and compliant.
Default configurations are killing your API performance. We dive deep into Linux kernel tuning, Nginx upstream keep-alives, and the impact of NVMe storage on high-throughput gateways in the Norwegian hosting landscape.
While the industry buzzes about 'Fog Computing,' the reality is simpler: physics wins. Here is how deploying decentralized VPS nodes in Norway reduces latency for IoT and high-traffic apps.
In 2016, a green status icon is not enough. Learn why traditional monitoring fails high-load systems, how to implement 'Whitebox' monitoring with Prometheus 1.0 and ELK, and why NVMe storage is the bottleneck you didn't know you had.
Transitioning from monolith to microservices requires more than just code splitting. We analyze Service Discovery, API Gateways with Nginx, and the critical role of low-latency infrastructure in Norway.
Is the 'Serverless' hype worth the vendor lock-in? We dissect event-driven patterns, cold start latency, and how to build a sovereign FaaS-like architecture using Docker and NVMe VPS in Norway.
Waiting 30 minutes for a build to fail is a productivity killer. We dive into Jenkins 2.0 pipelines, Docker layer caching, and why NVMe storage is the secret weapon for Norwegian DevOps teams facing I/O bottlenecks.
Is AWS Lambda the only way to do serverless? We explore self-hosted event-driven patterns using Docker 1.12 and RabbitMQ to keep your data in Norway and your latency low.
With the EU-US Privacy Shield barely two weeks old, relying solely on US-based hyperscalers is a gamble. Here is a pragmatic, code-heavy guide to building a resilient hybrid infrastructure using KVM, Nginx, and local Norwegian NVMe storage.
Nagios says your server is up, but your customers are seeing 504s. In the era of microservices, simple ping checks are obsolete. Here is how to implement white-box monitoring and aggregated logging using the ELK stack on high-performance KVM instances.
It is July 2016, and Docker 1.12 has just dropped. But before you deploy Swarm mode, understand why running containers as root is a disaster waiting to happen. A deep dive into capabilities, CoW filesystems, and Norwegian data sovereignty.
