In the heat of the 2017 container wars, choosing between Kubernetes and Docker Swarm determines your infrastructure's fate. We analyze performance, complexity, and why underlying hardware like NVMe storage is critical for cluster stability.
It’s 2016, and containers are eating the world. But if you are blindly running `docker run` as root, you are inviting disaster. Here is the battle-hardened guide to locking down containers on Norwegian infrastructure.
Managing containers across multiple nodes is the new infrastructure nightmare. We break down the current state of Docker Swarm, Kubernetes 1.0, and Mesos, and why your underlying hardware determines who wins.
It's July 2015, and everyone is rushing to containerize. But running the Docker daemon as root without KVM isolation is a ticking time bomb. Here is the battle-hardened guide to securing your stack in Norway.
The 'Docker run' honeymoon is over. We break down the current state of multi-host container orchestration, comparing Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Mesos for production environments in Norway.
Containerization is exploding, but the shared kernel model exposes risks. We dissect namespaces, cgroups, and why wrapping your containers in a KVM VPS is the only sane choice for production.
Docker v1.0 is here, but multi-host networking remains a nightmare. We analyze the "IP-per-Pod" model in Google's new Kubernetes project, dissect linux bridging, and explain why your underlying VPS architecture determines if your cluster flies or fails.
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 0.11 making waves and LXC adoption growing, we dive deep into the security implications of containerization versus KVM virtualization. Learn how to harden your stack in the wake of Heartbleed.
Docker is generating hype, but is version 0.7 ready for your production workloads? We analyze the container landscape from a Norwegian systems architect's perspective, comparing stability, isolation, and the necessity of KVM backbones.
A deep dive into server virtualization strategies for 2013. We compare container-based virtualization (LXC, OpenVZ) against full hardware virtualization (KVM) and explain why kernel isolation is critical for Norwegian enterprises.
Hypervisors are heavy. In a world demanding millisecond latency, Linux Containers (LXC) offer bare-metal performance with VM-like manageability. Here is why you should care.
Is OpenVZ the efficient champion of virtualization or a trap for oversold resources? A deep dive into user_beancounters, kernel sharing, and why your high-load database might deserve KVM instead.
