Microservices are trending, but the network complexity is killing reliability. Learn how to architect a 'Smart Pipe' infrastructure using HAProxy, Zookeeper, and KVM to stop cascading failures before they reach your users.
Manual file uploads are killing your uptime. Learn how to implement automated, Git-driven workflows (the precursor to 'GitOps') using Jenkins, Capistrano, and Puppet on high-performance KVM infrastructure.
With the recent leaks regarding NSA surveillance, keeping data within Norwegian borders is no longer just compliance—it's survival. Here is how to automate server hardening using Puppet and iptables on KVM infrastructure.
