It's 2014, and the buzz is all about PaaS and BaaS. But for serious scaling in Norway, relying on US-hosted 'serverless' platforms is a latency trap. Learn how to build your own high-performance worker clusters using Redis, Celery, and KVM.
Cloud ubiquity is a lie. Learn how to architect a fault-tolerant, hybrid infrastructure using KVM, HAProxy, and bare-metal performance without succumbing to the 'noisy neighbor' effect of massive public clouds.
Moving from monolithic architectures to decoupled services is painful but necessary. We explore API Gateways, Service Discovery without the bloat, and why KVM isolation beats early containerization for production stability.
Is your monitoring system generating more false positives than actual alerts? We dive deep into tuning Zabbix 2.2, optimizing MySQL I/O, and leveraging KVM isolation to build a surveillance architecture that actually works.
The castle-and-moat security model is dead. Following the OpenSSL Heartbleed disclosure, we explore how to architect a 'Zero Trust' environment in 2014 using strict iptables, 2FA, and segregated KVM instances in Norway.
Move beyond the monolithic application. Learn how to architect robust microservices using Nginx, RabbitMQ, and KVM isolation, specifically tailored for the Norwegian hosting landscape.
Following the Heartbleed catastrophe, relying on a single firewall is professional suicide. We explore how to implement 'Zero Trust' architecture using KVM, iptables, and strict encryption on Norwegian soil.
It is April 2014, and Docker is changing how we deploy. But networking containers across multiple hosts remains a nightmare of NAT and port mapping. We explore manual bridging, Open vSwitch, and how to architect high-availability clusters on CoolVDS KVM instances.
Docker 0.9 changed the game, but cross-host networking remains a nightmare of NAT overhead and port conflicts. We dive deep into using Open vSwitch and pipework to build a scalable container network on KVM infrastructure.
With the recent Heartbleed vulnerability shaking the internet, and Docker gaining traction in version 0.10, isolation is the priority. Here is how to secure your Linux Containers (LXC) effectively while maintaining performance.
Is your application hanging during peak traffic? Stop blaming the code blindly. We dig into iostat, strace, and PHP-FPM logs to find the real bottlenecks in your stack.
Is your REST API choking under mobile load? We dive deep into Nginx configuration, Linux kernel tuning, and the critical importance of I/O isolation to reduce latency for Norwegian users.
Nagios says your server is UP, but your customers are seeing 504 Gateway Timeouts. In the wake of Heartbleed, we explore deep system introspection using Graphite, Logstash, and strace to find the bottlenecks that simple monitoring misses.
It has been 48 hours since CVE-2014-0160 broke the internet. Here is a battle-tested guide to patching OpenSSL, obtaining free Class 1 certificates from StartSSL, and enabling SPDY on your CoolVDS KVM instance.
Centralized load balancers are killing your microservices architecture. Learn how to deploy a distributed service discovery layer using HAProxy, Zookeeper, and SmartStack to reduce latency and eliminate single points of failure.
Is your API latency spiking under load? Stop blaming the code. We dive deep into kernel tuning, Nginx worker optimization, and why the underlying virtualization technology (KVM vs OpenVZ) defines your throughput ceiling.
Is your build server choking on disk I/O? In this deep dive, we explore optimizing Jenkins on Linux, the importance of KVM isolation, and why Norwegian data sovereignty matters more than ever post-Snowden.
