Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
Docker is revolutionizing deployment, but default configurations are a security nightmare waiting to happen. From kernel exploits to the new EU-US Privacy Shield, here is how to lock down your stack in a post-Safe Harbor world.
Microservices are scaling, but your networking is failing. Learn how to implement a robust service discovery and load balancing layer—a 'Service Mesh'—using Consul, NGINX, and Docker to keep your Norwegian infrastructure compliant and resilient.
Is your Jenkins build queue stalling your release cycle? We analyze the impact of disk I/O on Docker builds, the transition to Jenkins 2.0 pipelines, and why data residency in Norway is critical following the new EU-US Privacy Shield agreement.
A battle-hardened guide to optimizing Nginx as an API Gateway on Linux. We cover kernel tuning, SSL handshakes, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway matters for your TCO.
Cloud costs are spiraling as virtualization overhead eats into your budget. We analyze KVM vs. OpenVZ, the impact of PHP 7.0 on density, and why the new Privacy Shield agreement makes Norwegian hosting critical for compliance.
Stop building distributed monoliths. A battle-hardened look at API Gateways, Service Discovery with Consul, and the infrastructure requirements to run Docker successfully in 2016.
Master the complexities of the Kubernetes networking model, from CNI plugins like Flannel and Calico to debugging iptables mode. Learn why infrastructure performance makes or breaks your cluster.
Stop relying on basic ping checks. Learn how to monitor I/O wait, steal time, and Nginx metrics to ensure your Norwegian VPS infrastructure survives high loads without melting down.
Is the 'Serverless' hype worth the vendor lock-in? We explore how to implement event-driven architectures using Docker and Queues on high-performance Norwegian VPS infrastructure, avoiding cold starts and data sovereignty headaches.
Slow builds kill developer momentum. Learn how to slash build times by 60% using Jenkins 2.0 pipelines, RAM-disks, and self-hosted runners on high-IOPS Norwegian infrastructure.
Monoliths are safe; distributed systems are chaotic. We explore the 2016 microservices landscape, from Service Discovery with Consul to handling NIX latency, and why fast I/O is non-negotiable.
Ping is not monitoring. In this deep dive, we architect a fault-tolerant monitoring solution using Zabbix 3.0, Grafana, and the ELK stack to visualize infrastructure health on Ubuntu 16.04. Learn to detect CPU steal and latency spikes before your Norwegian users even notice.
It is June 2016. Microservices are rising, but your Nagios checks are stuck in 2010. Learn why traditional monitoring fails to catch latency spikes and how to build true observability using ELK and StatsD on high-performance infrastructure.
Your dashboard shows 100% uptime, but your customers are churning. We dismantle the 'check_http' mindset and explore how to build a 2016-era observability stack using ELK and Graphite on high-performance KVM architecture.
We benchmark the complexity and performance of Kubernetes 1.2 against Docker Swarm and Mesos. Discover why raw infrastructure latency matters more than your orchestration tool choice for Nordic deployments.
It is 2016, and Docker is eating the world. But most implementations I see in Norway are wide-open security nightmares. Here is how to lock down your containers on Ubuntu 16.04 and CentOS 7 before you get hit.
Stop relying on basic ping checks. Learn to architect a scalable monitoring stack using Zabbix 3.0 and ELK on CentOS 7 to visualize real-time I/O bottlenecks and keep your data within Norwegian borders.
Manual SSH deployments are creating snowflake servers and security risks. Here is how to implement a Git-centric workflow using Jenkins 2.0, Ansible, and Docker to enforce immutable infrastructure on your Norwegian VPS.
Stop relying on 'it feels slow' complaints. Learn how to architect a modern monitoring stack using ELK and Grafana to visualize latency, debug I/O bottlenecks, and secure data within Norwegian borders.
Is your Jenkins build giving you enough time to drive from Oslo to Bergen? We dissect the I/O bottlenecks killing your deployment speed and show you how to fix them using Jenkins 2.0, Docker, and NVMe infrastructure.
A battle-hardened guide to Pod networking, CNI choices, and debugging iptables in Kubernetes 1.2. Learn how to minimize latency on Norwegian VPS infrastructure without relying on public cloud load balancers.
A battle-hardened look at Kubernetes 1.2 networking, from the chaos of iptables to the latency costs of overlay networks like Flannel. Learn how to debug packet drops and why your underlying VPS hardware in Norway makes or breaks your cluster.
Is your API gateway becoming the bottleneck? We dive deep into kernel tuning, Nginx configuration, and the hardware reality required to handle high-concurrency traffic in 2016.
Is your application slow or is it just the network? Without proper APM, you are just guessing. We break down how to build a robust monitoring stack using ELK, Nginx, and system-level profiling on high-performance NVMe infrastructure.
Is your monitoring system actually monitoring, or just pretending? We dismantle legacy Nagios setups and build a high-scale, I/O-intensive monitoring stack using Zabbix 3.0 and Grafana on pure NVMe storage.
It's not if, but when. We dissect the anatomy of a catastrophic failure, the implications of the Safe Harbor invalidation for Norwegian data, and the exact configs you need to survive.
Nagios alerts might wake you up, but they won't fix your code. In the era of Docker and microservices, we explore the shift from binary monitoring to deep system observability using ELK, Prometheus, and high-performance infrastructure.
Downtime is a choice. Learn how to monitor CPU steal, debug disk latency with iostat, and configure Zabbix 3.0 to catch failures before your Norwegian customers notice.
Breaking the monolith is the trend of 2016, but network latency creates new points of failure. We analyze API Gateways, Service Discovery with Consul, and why infrastructure choice defines your uptime.
Kubernetes 1.2 is changing the game with iptables-based proxies, but the networking model remains the most complex barrier to production. We dissect the packet flow from Pod-to-Pod, analyze Flannel vs. Weave, and explain why your underlying VPS I/O is the bottleneck you aren't watching.
