With the recent fall of Safe Harbor, data sovereignty is critical. We dissect practical Docker security hardening, from dropping kernel capabilities to ensuring true isolation with KVM.
With the recent invalidation of the Safe Harbor agreement, relying on US-based clouds is risky. Here is how to build a compliant, high-performance edge layer in Norway using Varnish, Nginx, and bare-metal performance.
The ECJ just invalidated Safe Harbor. Relying solely on US hyperscalers is now a compliance risk. Here is how to build a hybrid infrastructure that balances sovereignty with scalability.
It is 2015, and editing config files manually in production is no longer acceptable. Learn how to implement 'Infrastructure as Code' using Git hooks, Ansible, and Docker to ensure your Norwegian VPS environments are reproducible and robust.
With the Advocate General's recent opinion on Safe Harbor, relying solely on US hyperscalers is now a business risk. Here is how to architect a hybrid setup using local Norwegian infrastructure.
Is your pay-as-you-go cloud bill spiraling out of control? We analyze the TCO of Public Cloud vs. High-Performance VPS in the Norwegian market, offering Linux kernel tuning tips and architectural shifts to cut costs by 40% while lowering latency.
Is your application slow, or is it the network? Learn how to diagnose bottlenecks using the ELK stack, New Relic, and system metrics without blaming the wrong layer.
Docker is revolutionizing deployment, but default configurations are a security nightmare. Learn how to harden your containers, drop kernel capabilities, and why running Docker on KVM-based infrastructure like CoolVDS is the only sane choice for production in Norway.
Uptime isn't enough. Discover how to diagnose high latency, banish I/O wait time, and why KVM virtualization is non-negotiable for serious Norwegian DevOps teams.
Is your monthly infrastructure bill scaling faster than your user base? We dissect the hidden costs of public cloud over-provisioning versus high-performance KVM architectures in the Norwegian market.
Logs won't save you when latency spikes. Discover how to implement real Application Performance Monitoring, tune PHP-FPM, and why infrastructure choices like CoolVDS dictate your ceiling.
Navigating the nascent container orchestration wars of 2015. We benchmark Docker Swarm, the newly released Kubernetes 1.0, and Apache Mesos to see which stack belongs on your Norwegian VPS infrastructure.
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.
Microservices are the trend of 2015, but they introduce massive HTTP overhead. Learn how to tune Nginx, the Linux kernel, and your hosting environment to handle the load without crashing.
Migrating a live database without killing your uptime is an art form. Here is the field guide to moving production SQL workloads to high-performance KVM slices without losing sleep.
Moving a live database doesn't have to be a game of Russian Roulette. We explore battle-tested strategies using Master-Slave replication, Percona XtraBackup, and high-performance local storage to keep your uptime intact.
Cloud elasticity often masks inefficient architecture. Learn how to cut hosting costs by 40% using KVM rightsizing, Nginx tuning, and leveraging Norwegian connectivity for lower latency.
Vertical scaling hits a wall. When your `innodb_buffer_pool_size` exceeds physical RAM, it's time to shard. We break down the architecture of distributed databases, consistent hashing, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is critical for performance.
When your monolithic database hits the I/O wall, vertical scaling isn't enough. We dive deep into practical sharding strategies, implementation pitfalls, and why infrastructure latency is the silent killer of distributed data.
In 2015, 'The Cloud' is often just a server in Germany. For Norwegian traffic, that 30ms round-trip is killing your conversion rates. We dive into the physics of latency, Nginx edge caching strategies, and why data sovereignty is becoming critical.
Nagios says your server is up, but your customers say the checkout is broken. Here is how to implement real APM using the ELK stack and Nginx logging, avoid the 'noisy neighbor' effect common in cheap VPS hosting, and keep your data compliant with Norwegian privacy standards.
Migrating a production database doesn't have to mean 3 AM panic attacks. We explore battle-tested strategies using replication and high-IOPS storage to keep your data compliant and consistent.
Moving from a monolith to microservices isn't just about Docker—it's about network architecture. We explore the essential patterns (API Gateways, Service Discovery) you need to survive the transition, keeping latency low and Datatilsynet happy.
Hardware fails. Data centers go dark. Is your disaster recovery plan just 'hope'? We explore battle-tested strategies using rsync, Percona XtraBackup, and Norwegian data sovereignty principles to keep your uptime intact.
Latency is the silent killer of user experience. We explore how to deploy distributed 'fog' computing architectures using Nginx and Varnish to keep your Nordic traffic local, compliant, and insanely fast.
Manual security audits are a liability. Learn how to automate compliance using OpenSCAP and Ansible on CentOS 7, ensuring your infrastructure meets Datatilsynet standards while keeping data strictly within Norwegian borders.
Manual security hardening is a liability. Learn how to automate server compliance under the Norwegian Personal Data Act using Ansible and OpenSCAP, and why sovereign infrastructure matters more than ever.
Stop staring at static RRDtool graphs. We explore how to deploy the new Grafana 2.0 with InfluxDB on CentOS 7 to visualize high-frequency metrics, monitor CPU steal time, and why I/O performance determines your monitoring stack's survival.
Docker is taking over the world, but running it in production is a battlefield. We benchmark the three leading orchestration contenders—Kubernetes, Mesos/Marathon, and Docker Swarm—and analyze why your underlying VPS architecture decides who wins.
The 'Docker run' honeymoon is over. We break down the current state of multi-host container orchestration, comparing Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Mesos for production environments in Norway.
