A battle-hardened comparison of container orchestrators in late 2021. We analyze the trade-offs between K8s complexity, Swarm simplicity, and Nomad flexibility, specifically for Nordic deployments facing Schrems II compliance.
Serverless promises infinite scale, but often delivers vendor lock-in and compliance nightmares. Here is how to architect a self-hosted FaaS platform using Kubernetes and NVMe VPS to satisfy Datatilsynet while keeping your DevOps team happy.
Schrems II changed the rules. Here is how to architect a legally compliant, low-latency hybrid infrastructure using Terraform, WireGuard, and Norwegian bare metal.
Green dashboards don't mean happy users. We dissect why 'CPU Steal' and I/O latency are the silent killers of Norwegian deployments, and why the Schrems II ruling makes self-hosted monitoring on local KVM infrastructure the only legally safe bet in late 2020.
A deep dive into K8s networking primitives, CNI selection, and why low-latency hardware matters more than your mesh configuration. Written for engineers tired of debugging IPTables.
With the CJEU invalidating the US-EU Privacy Shield yesterday, where you host your cluster matters as much as how you orchestrate it. We benchmark Kubernetes 1.18, Docker Swarm, and Nomad 0.11 on NVMe infrastructure.
A brutally honest comparison of Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and HashiCorp Nomad for European DevOps teams. We cut through the hype to look at performance, complexity, and why underlying hardware matters more than your YAML files.
It’s 2020. Kubernetes won the war, but Docker Swarm is still fighting for the small battles. We analyze the orchestration landscape, the critical role of NVMe storage for etcd stability, and why data residency in Norway matters more than ever.
Is Kubernetes overkill for your startup? Is Docker Swarm dead after the Mirantis deal? A battle-hardened look at orchestration choices, latency realities at NIX, and why your etcd cluster hates your cheap HDD VPS.
Vendor lock-in is a silent killer of budgets and agility. Learn how to architect a robust, GDPR-compliant multi-cloud infrastructure using Terraform, StrongSwan, and high-performance VPS nodes in Norway.
Transitioning from monolithic architecture to microservices requires more than just Docker containers. We explore battle-tested patterns, local latency realities in Norway, and the infrastructure needed to support distributed systems in 2019.
Is your application slow, or is it the network? In this deep dive, we move beyond 'top' and implement a full Prometheus + Grafana stack on Ubuntu 18.04. We analyze disk I/O latency, debug MySQL bottlenecks, and explain why hosting location in Norway matters for your metrics.
Moving from monolith to microservices creates a distributed complexity nightmare. We analyze three battle-tested architecture patterns—API Gateways, Circuit Breakers, and Service Discovery—to keep your stack stable under load, specifically within the Norwegian hosting context.
Vendor lock-in is the silent killer of TCO. Discover how to architect a compliant, high-performance hybrid infrastructure using local Norwegian VDS for core data and hyperscalers for burst compute—without bleeding budget on egress fees.
It’s not a matter of if, but when. A pragmatic guide to architecting resilient infrastructure under GDPR strictures using KVM, automation, and Norwegian data sovereignty.
Cloud vendor lock-in is the silent killer of IT budgets. This guide details how to architect a compliant, low-latency hybrid infrastructure combining local Nordic VPS resources with global cloud reach, strictly adhering to 2018 GDPR standards.
Is your entire infrastructure beholden to a single US giant? In the wake of GDPR, that is a risk you cannot afford. We explore a hybrid architecture using Terraform 0.11 and KVM tunneling to secure data in Norway while leveraging global CDNs.
It's 2018. GDPR is live. Manual server patching is now a liability. Learn how to implement a rigid GitOps workflow using GitLab, Flux, and Kubernetes on CoolVDS KVM instances to ensure compliance and sleep through the night.
With the GDPR deadline of May 25 looming, relying solely on US hyperscalers is a compliance risk. We dissect a hybrid architecture using Terraform (v0.11), Nginx, and local NVMe storage to balance data sovereignty with global scalability.
The 'pay-as-you-go' model is often a trap. Learn how to audit your infrastructure, eliminate zombie instances, and leverage Norwegian NVMe VPS to cut TCO by 40% before GDPR hits.
Stop relying on basic uptime checks. In 2016, performance is the new uptime. Learn how to implement the ELK stack, debug MySQL latency, and why underlying hardware I/O is the silent killer of application speed.
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.
Is your monthly cloud bill spiraling out of control? Discover practical, 2016-era strategies to slash infrastructure costs by leveraging KVM virtualization, NVMe storage, and Norwegian data sovereignty.
Public cloud isn't the answer to everything. In the wake of Safe Harbor's collapse, learn how to architect a hybrid strategy combining local Norwegian VPS performance with public cloud scalability.
Kubernetes 1.1 is finally production-ready, but the networking model remains a black box for many. We dissect the overlay network tax, optimization of kube-proxy, and why the recent Safe Harbor ruling makes hosting your cluster in Norway critical.
Stop praying during 'service restart'. Learn how to implement robust Blue-Green deployments using Nginx and KVM to ensure zero downtime for your Norwegian infrastructure.
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.
Manual FTP uploads are a recipe for disaster. Learn how to implement a Git-centric deployment pipeline using Jenkins, Ansible, and robust KVM virtualization to automate your infrastructure.
Is public cloud lock-in draining your IT budget? We analyze the TCO of hybrid architectures in 2015, combining AWS scalability with the raw IOPS of local KVM VPS, and why keeping core data in Norway matters more than ever.
