Docker 1.0 is here, but running it in production requires more than a simple `docker run`. We dive into cgroups, namespaces, and why wrapping containers in KVM is the only way to satisfy Datatilsynet.
With Docker hitting version 1.0 last month, the container revolution is officially ‘production ready’. But running one container is easy; managing a cluster is war. We compare CoreOS fleet, Mesos, and the emerging Kubernetes to help you survive.
The 'Castle and Moat' security strategy is dead. Following the Heartbleed wake-up call, we explore how to implement a Zero-Trust network model on your VPS using iptables, strict SSH key management, and internal encryption. Stop trusting your LAN.
Firewalls aren't enough anymore. Following the Heartbleed wake-up call, we explore how to implement a 'Zero-Trust' architecture on Linux servers using KVM, IPTables, and 2FA. Data sovereignty in Norway has never been more critical.
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.
Uptime checks lie to you. In 2014, if you aren't graphing I/O wait and CPU steal time, you're flying blind. Here is how to build a battle-hardened monitoring stack on Ubuntu 14.04 that respects Norwegian data sovereignty.
Hard-coding IPs in 2014 is a recipe for disaster. We explore how to implement a fault-tolerant service communication layer using the newly released HAProxy 1.5 and Consul to tame your microservices architecture.
Stop killing your server with AJAX polling. A battle-hardened guide to tuning the Linux kernel, Nginx 1.6, and Socket.io for real-time performance on Norwegian infrastructure.
Nagios tells you the server is up. It doesn't tell you why the checkout takes 5 seconds. Here is how to implement real Application Performance Monitoring on a Linux VPS without breaking the bank.
It is June 2014. Monoliths are dying, Docker 1.0 has just landed, and the promise of 'No-Ops' is seducing CTOs. Here is why you should ignore the PaaS hype and build your own high-performance worker clusters using RabbitMQ and KVM in Norway.
RAID is not a backup. In this guide, we dissect a battle-tested recovery strategy for Norwegian infrastructure using KVM, rsync, and Percona XtraBackup. Learn how to survive data loss before it happens.
Stop letting monolithic architecture kill your uptime. We explore battle-tested microservices patterns using Nginx, KVM, and SOA principles suitable for the high-compliance Norwegian market.
Physics doesn't negotiate. When 30ms makes the difference between a conversion and a bounce, hosting your application in Frankfurt while your users are in Oslo is a strategic failure. Here is how to build a high-performance edge tier using Nginx, Varnish 4.0, and local KVM infrastructure.
Is the 'Cloud' eating your budget? Discover how to cut hosting costs by 40% through rigorous stack optimization, selecting the right virtualization technology, and leveraging Norway's unique infrastructure advantages.
The 'castle and moat' security strategy is failing. In the wake of Heartbleed, we explore how to implement Forrester's Zero Trust model using IPTables, SSL mutual authentication, and strict access controls on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
The traditional "hard shell, soft center" security model is dead. Following the Heartbleed wake-up call, we explore how to implement rigorous internal segmentation and de-perimeterization on your VPS environments using standard Linux tools available in 2014.
Relying on a single US-based cloud provider is a risk to your uptime and data sovereignty. Learn how to architect a redundant, compliant infrastructure combining CoolVDS local KVM instances with public cloud bursting using HAProxy and MySQL replication.
