A battle-hardened comparison of container orchestration tools available in early 2016. We analyze Kubernetes 1.1, Docker Swarm, and Mesos, focusing on infrastructure requirements, Safe Harbor compliance, and deploying on KVM-based VPS in Norway.
Kubernetes is taking over, but the networking model is a beast. We dive deep into kube-proxy, iptables modes, and why Flannel configurations on standard VPS providers might be killing your latency.
The default kube-proxy in Kubernetes 1.1 is a performance killer. We benchmark iptables mode vs. userspace, configure Flannel for low-latency Norwegian infrastructure, and navigate the post-Safe Harbor compliance minefield.
Forget the buzzwords. In 2016, "Edge" means getting your logic closer to your users. We explore real-world use cases involving IoT, TCP optimization, and the data sovereignty panic following the Safe Harbor ruling.
Migrating a live production database without downtime is an art. We breakdown master-slave replication strategies, Percona XtraBackup usage, and why the death of Safe Harbor makes hosting in Norway critical right now.
Docker 1.9 is changing the game, but running containers as root is a recipe for disaster. Here is the battle-tested guide to hardening your stack, surviving the 'Safe Harbor' collapse, and why KVM is your only safety net.
The 'hard shell, soft center' security model is obsolete. Following the Safe Harbor collapse, we explore implementing Zero-Trust principles on Linux systems using KVM isolation, strict iptables chains, and 2FA—because the threat is already inside.
Don't let a hardware failure become a business failure. We analyze the specific constraints of Norwegian data laws following the Safe Harbor collapse and implement a robust KVM-based recovery plan using MySQL 5.6 replication and rsync.
With the invalidation of Safe Harbor, hosting data in Norway is no longer just a preference—it's a necessity. Learn how to automate security baselines using Ansible and OpenSCAP to satisfy Datatilsynet without burning out your sysadmins.
With the invalidation of Safe Harbor, relying on US-based clouds is a legal gamble. Learn how to automate server hardening with Ansible and OpenSCAP to satisfy Datatilsynet requirements while ensuring high-performance hosting in Norway.
With the recent invalidation of Safe Harbor, hosting monitoring infrastructure outside Norway is a risk you can't afford. Here is how to architect a high-performance ELK and Zabbix stack on local KVM instances.
With the recent release of Docker 1.9 and Swarm 1.0, the container orchestration battle has intensified. We benchmark Swarm against Google's Kubernetes and Apache Mesos to see which solution truly belongs in your production stack—and why your underlying hardware might be the bottleneck you ignored.
Microservices are trending, but network complexity is the silent killer. Learn how to implement a robust service discovery and load balancing layer—the precursor to a 'service mesh'—using tools available right now in late 2015.
Microservices are shifting the bottleneck to the edge. Learn how to tune Nginx, optimize Linux kernel interrupts, and leverage Norway-based KVM infrastructure to survive the Safe Harbor fallout.
With the EU-US Safe Harbor framework invalidated, Norwegian CTOs face a compliance crisis. Learn how to automate server hardening using Ansible to satisfy Datatilsynet requirements while keeping data strictly on Norwegian soil.
It's rarely the code; it's usually the infrastructure. We dissect how to monitor disk I/O, steal time, and Nginx upstream latency on Linux servers. Featuring the implications of the recent Safe Harbor ruling for Norwegian data.
Manual FTP uploads are killing your uptime. Learn how to implement a robust, git-centric deployment workflow using Jenkins, Ansible, and Docker on high-performance 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.
With the recent invalidation of Safe Harbor and the explosion of container adoption, default Docker configurations are a liability. We analyze kernel isolation, capability dropping, and why running containers on KVM-based VPS is the only sane choice for Norwegian data.
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.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. Learn how to implement a robust service discovery layer using Consul, HAProxy, and rock-solid KVM infrastructure to keep your distributed system from collapsing.
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.
Stop blaming the code when the infrastructure is choking. We analyze the late-2015 APM landscape, from ELK stack configurations to debugging CPU steal time on virtual servers, ensuring your Norwegian user base gets the latency they deserve.
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.
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.
With the Safe Harbor framework crumbling, relying on manual server hardening is a liability. Learn how to automate security compliance on Norwegian infrastructure using Ansible 1.9.
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.
The 'castle and moat' security strategy is failing. We explore how to implement Google's BeyondCorp-style Zero-Trust architecture using KVM, SSH keys, and rigorous segmentation on Norwegian infrastructure.
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.
