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.
The castle-and-moat security model failed Sony and Anthem. It will fail you. Learn how to implement a Zero-Trust network using strict iptables, internal SSL, and 2FA on CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 14.04.
Don't hand the keys to your kingdom to a single US giant. A pragmatic guide to building a resilient, hybrid infrastructure using Norwegian jurisdiction and KVM portability.
Manual security checklists are a liability. Learn how to automate compliance using Ansible and OpenSCAP on KVM infrastructure, keeping your data strictly within Norwegian jurisdiction.
Google's Kubernetes is changing how we orchestrate Docker containers, but the networking model is a headache for traditional sysadmins. We analyze the 'One IP Per Pod' model, configure Flannel manually, and explain why your kernel version matters.
The 'Castle and Moat' security strategy is failing. Learn how to implement a Zero Trust architecture today using KVM, strict IPTables, and Two-Factor Authentication to secure your Norwegian infrastructure against modern threats.
Moving from monolithic architectures to microservices introduces network complexity and latency challenges. We explore service discovery, containerization with Docker 1.6, and why raw KVM performance is non-negotiable for distributed systems in 2015.
While AWS Lambda makes headlines, the real power of the 'serverless' concept lies in decoupled, asynchronous architectures. Here is how to build event-driven worker pools using RabbitMQ and Docker without suffering vendor lock-in or latency penalties.
Docker is standardizing builds, but production deployment remains the Wild West. We compare Mesos, the rising Kubernetes beta, and CoreOS Fleet to see which orchestrator deserves your root access.
It is May 2015. Docker containers are taking over development, but production deployment is still a minefield. We compare Kubernetes (Beta), Docker Swarm, and Mesos to see which one is ready for your Norwegian infrastructure.
Is your API gateway choking under load? Stop adding more servers and start tuning your stack. We dive deep into Nginx 1.8 configs, kernel sysctl tuning, and why hardware latency matters for Norwegian traffic.
Is your "scalable" cloud infrastructure costing double what it should? We analyze the hidden overhead of noisy neighbors, audit KVM vs. OpenVZ performance in 2015, and define the real cost of latency for Norwegian businesses.
Stop relying solely on US-based giants. We break down a battle-tested 2015 architecture mixing local Norwegian VPS performance with global redundancy, featuring HAProxy and Galera Cluster configurations.
Cloud flexibility often masks financial inefficiency. Learn how to audit your Linux infrastructure, tune Nginx and MySQL 5.6 for lower resource usage, and why hosting in Norway offers a TCO advantage.
