Vendor lock-in is a ticking time bomb. Learn how to architect a fault-tolerant, multi-provider stack using HAProxy 1.5, Ansible, and Norwegian KVM instances to survive the next major outage.
Stop relying on basic ping checks. In this deep dive, we explore how to build a scalable monitoring stack using Zabbix 2.4 and Graphite on high-performance KVM architecture, specifically tailored for the Norwegian market's latency and compliance demands.
Docker is changing deployment, but shared kernels pose risks. Learn how to lock down containers using Cgroups, Capabilities, and KVM isolation on trusted Norwegian infrastructure.
Navigating the chaos of Docker 1.3, CoreOS, and Mesos. Why your choice of underlying virtualization (KVM vs OpenVZ) determines your container stability in the Nordic market.
Stop running containers manually. A battle-hardened guide to orchestrating Docker 1.3 with Fig and Ansible on KVM infrastructure in Norway.
Is your Jenkins queue choking on I/O wait? We dissect the 2014 deployment bottleneck, optimize the build pipeline with SSD-backed KVM, and keep your data compliant with Norwegian privacy standards.
Shift from fragile monolithic architectures to resilient microservices using 2014's best tools: Docker, Consul, and Nginx. Learn how to handle service discovery and latency in the Nordic infrastructure landscape.
Move beyond the fragile monolith. A senior architect's guide to leveraging Docker 1.3, Nginx, and pure SSD KVM instances for fault-tolerant service architectures in the Norwegian hosting landscape.
Manual FTP uploads are a liability. Learn how to architect a rugged, automated deployment pipeline using Git, Jenkins, and Ansible on high-performance KVM architecture.
Your Jenkins builds shouldn't take long enough to brew a pot of coffee. We explore how I/O bottlenecks kill pipeline velocity and how to fix it using KVM, SSDs, and smart caching strategies in a pre-Docker world.
While PaaS and "serverless" concepts promise freedom from operations, they often deliver latency and vendor lock-in. Learn how to build a robust, event-driven architecture using Docker, RabbitMQ, and raw KVM performance.
Is your server actually working, or is it just responding to ping? We explore the shift from binary monitoring to deep metrics analysis using Graphite, StatsD, and ELK on high-performance KVM infrastructure.
While the industry buzzes about microservices, the reality of deploying decoupled applications remains painful. We explore how to build resilient, asynchronous architectures using message queues and KVM virtualization, ensuring your Norwegian infrastructure is ready for the traffic spikes of 2015.
With the recent explosion of Docker 1.3 and LXC 1.0, containerization is shifting from experiment to production. But shared kernels pose a massive security risk. Here is how to lock down your namespaces, drop capabilities, and why wrapping containers in KVM is the only sane choice for Norwegian data.
Tired of managing Docker links and port conflicts? We dive deep into the revolutionary 'Flat Network' model of Google's new Kubernetes project, setup Flannel overlay networks, and explain why your VPS virtualization choice makes or breaks this architecture.
While the buzzword "Serverless" is creeping into Silicon Valley, the reality for European systems architects is pragmatic: it's about decoupling. Learn how to crush latency and scale workers using RabbitMQ, Docker, and raw KVM power.
While Platform-as-a-Service promises a serverless future, the reality in 2014 is vendor lock-in and opaque billing. Here is how to build a resilient, Docker-based microservice architecture on KVM that keeps you in control and compliant with Norwegian data laws.
Is your continuous integration pipeline timing out? The bottleneck isn't your code—it's likely your infrastructure. We dissect how I/O latency destroys build times and how to tune Linux (and your VPS) for raw speed in a 2014 DevOps landscape.
