Docker 1.9 just changed the game, but managing containers at scale is still a battlefield. We pit Kubernetes 1.1 against Swarm and Mesos to find the best stack for Norwegian infrastructure post-Safe Harbor.
Is your API gateway choking on concurrent connections? We dive into kernel-level tuning, the brand new HTTP/2 protocol, and why the recent Safe Harbor invalidation makes local Norwegian hosting the only smart technical choice.
It is October 2015. The ECJ just invalidated Safe Harbor, and your Nagios dashboard says everything is fine while your users see 504 errors. Here is why the shift from simple monitoring to deep observability is critical for Norwegian CTOs right now.
With the Safe Harbor framework crumbling and Datatilsynet watching, manual security is a liability. Learn how to automate compliance using Ansible and KVM isolation on CoolVDS.
In 2015, hosting in Frankfurt isn't enough. We explore practical strategies for distributed infrastructure, the rise of the 'Edge', and why local presence in Oslo is critical for performance and compliance.
Manual server hardening is a critical risk. Learn how to automate security baselines using Ansible on CentOS 7, ensure compliance with Datatilsynet guidelines, and why data sovereignty in Norway is your best defense against the crumbling Safe Harbor framework.
In 2015, manual server hardening is a liability. Learn how to automate security baselines using Ansible 1.9 and why keeping data on Norwegian soil is the smartest move for your risk profile.
In 2015, managing server security via spreadsheets is negligence. We explore how to replace manual checklists with Ansible and OpenSCAP on Norwegian infrastructure to satisfy Datatilsynet and PCI-DSS requirements.
AWS Lambda is making waves, but vendor lock-in and cold starts are production killers. Here is how to architect a true event-driven microservices stack on high-performance VPS in Norway using Docker and RabbitMQ.
Is relying solely on Frankfurt or Ireland hurting your latency in Oslo? We dismantle the single-vendor myth and demonstrate a hybrid architecture using VPN tunnels, local KVM instances, and smart load balancing.
It is 2014, and static IP tables are dead. Learn how to architect a dynamic, self-healing network for your distributed systems using HAProxy 1.5 and Consul on high-performance KVM architecture.
A battle-tested guide to architecting high-availability systems across multiple providers using HAProxy, Galera Cluster, and Ansible, with a focus on Norwegian data sovereignty and latency.
When vertical scaling hits the wall, sharding is your only exit. We explore practical strategies for horizontal partitioning in MySQL, handling data locality in Norway, and configuring KVM instances for maximum throughput.
Stop blaming your code for infrastructure bottlenecks. A deep dive into diagnosing latency, CPU steal, and I/O wait on Linux systems, specifically tailored for the Norwegian market. Learn why hosting location matters and how to debug the LEMP stack like a pro.
The old model of 'trusted LAN, untrusted WAN' is obsolete. Following the chaos of Heartbleed and Shellshock, we explore how to build a manual Zero-Trust architecture using iptables, strict SSH tunneling, and KVM isolation on Norwegian infrastructure.
Physics is non-negotiable. Learn how to leverage local VPS nodes in Oslo to slash TTFB, comply with Norwegian data laws, and implement Varnish caching at the network edge. No fluff, just benchmarks and VCL configs.
Cloud bills in 2014 are spiraling out of control. Learn how to optimize Linux kernels, tune Nginx, and leverage Norwegian infrastructure to cut hosting costs by 40% without sacrificing performance.
A battle-hardened guide to keeping Norwegian infrastructure alive when hardware fails. Covers MySQL replication, rsync strategies, and KVM isolation on CoolVDS.
Database migration shouldn't be a game of Russian Roulette. This guide details battle-tested methods using Percona XtraBackup and replication to move MySQL datasets across Scandinavian infrastructure without killing your uptime.
Stop editing files via SSH. In 2014, the only acceptable workflow is Git-driven. We explore how to build a robust Continuous Delivery pipeline using Jenkins, Puppet, and reliable KVM infrastructure in Norway.
It is not a matter of if your server will fail, but when. In the wake of Heartbleed and increasing data sovereignty scrutiny in Norway, this guide covers battle-tested strategies using rsync, MySQL replication, and KVM snapshots to keep your infrastructure alive.
Stop paying for idle cycles. A pragmatic look at rightsizing infrastructure, leveraging SSD performance, and navigating Norwegian compliance laws in 2014.
Is your build server choking on disk I/O? In this deep dive, we explore optimizing Jenkins on Linux, the importance of KVM isolation, and why Norwegian data sovereignty matters more than ever post-Snowden.
Is your deployment pipeline stalled by 'I/O Wait'? We dissect the root causes of slow CI/CD in 2014, optimize Jenkins JVM settings, and explain why Norwegian KVM architecture beats oversold OpenVZ containers every time.
Hardware fails. It is a mathematical certainty. In 2014, relying solely on RAID is professional negligence. We dissect the difference between redundancy and recovery, explore robust rsync strategies, and explain why keeping your data inside Norway borders (Datatilsynet) is your best legal defense.
Migrating a live database without data loss or downtime is the ultimate litmus test for a sysadmin. Here is the comprehensive strategy for moving high-load MySQL datasets to Norwegian soil using replication, SSH tunneling, and KVM-based consistency.
Stop tolerating I/O wait. Learn how to migrate critical MySQL workloads to high-performance VPS infrastructure without losing a single transaction, tailored for the Norwegian market.
Manual file uploads are killing your uptime. Learn how to implement a Git-centric deployment pipeline using Hooks, Jenkins, and Puppet on high-performance Norwegian infrastructure.
Stop managing deployments via FTP and SSH loops. Learn how to architect a high-performance Continuous Integration pipeline using Jenkins, optimize MySQL for test suites using tmpfs, and ensure compliance with Norwegian data laws—all running on KVM-isolated SSD infrastructure.
Command line tools like 'top' only tell half the story. In this deep dive, we explore how to build a robust APM stack using Graphite and StatsD to diagnose bottlenecks before your Norwegian users experience latency.
