Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
It is June 2018. GDPR is live, microservices are expanding, and standard monitoring checks are no longer enough. Learn how to implement true observability using Prometheus, ELK, and high-performance infrastructure without violating Norwegian data laws.
It is mid-2018. GDPR is in effect, and static checks are obsolete. We dissect a production-grade monitoring stack using Prometheus 2.0 and Grafana 5, tailored for DevOps teams demanding sub-millisecond latency and strict data residency in Norway.
Kubernetes networking is 'magic' until latency spikes. We analyze CNI choices, the MTU fragmentation trap, and IPVS tuning to keep your clusters performant in the post-GDPR era.
Vendor lock-in is a technical debt that accrues interest daily. We explore a hybrid architecture using CoolVDS for data sovereignty in Norway and public cloud for burst capability, complete with Terraform v0.11 examples and HAProxy configurations.
A battle-hardened look at the Kubernetes 1.10 networking model. We strip away the hype to focus on CNI choices, iptables misery, and why low-latency infrastructure is the only cure for overlay network overhead.
Overlay networks, CNI plugins, and the shift to IPVS. We dissect the packet flow in Kubernetes v1.10 and explain why low-latency infrastructure is non-negotiable for production clusters post-GDPR.
It is June 2018. GDPR is live, but your API latency is killing user retention. Learn how to tune Nginx and Linux kernel parameters for raw performance on Norwegian infrastructure.
Stop staring at green dashboards while your users see 502 errors. We break down a battle-tested monitoring stack for Nordic infrastructure using Prometheus 2.0, Grafana 5, and rigid Linux metrics. No fluff, just configs.
Slow build pipelines kill developer productivity. We dissect storage bottlenecks, Docker layer caching strategies, and the impact of GDPR on your CI infrastructure choices in 2018.
It's 2018. GDPR is live. Manual server patching is now a liability. Learn how to implement a rigid GitOps workflow using GitLab, Flux, and Kubernetes on CoolVDS KVM instances to ensure compliance and sleep through the night.
It's 2018, and green lights on Nagios don't mean your system is healthy. We dissect the shift from passive monitoring to active observability, the impact of GDPR on log retention in Norway, and how to configure a Prometheus & ELK stack that actually explains *why* things broke.
With GDPR now fully enforced and users demanding instant load times, hosting in Frankfurt isn't enough. We explore how moving compute logic to the Norwegian edge reduces latency and solves data sovereignty headaches.
It's May 25, 2018. GDPR is enforced. If your disaster recovery plan relies on unencrypted dumps or US-based cloud storage, you aren't just risking downtime—you're risking a 4% global turnover fine. Here is the battle-tested blueprint for compliant recovery.
It is May 2018, and GDPR is hours away. We break down the essential microservices patterns you need to deploy on Norwegian infrastructure to maintain compliance and sub-millisecond latency.
With GDPR enforcement just days away and microservices complicating architectures, green Nagios checks aren't enough. Learn why 2018 demands a shift to Prometheus, ELK, and OpenTracing to debug the 'unknown unknowns'.
With the GDPR enforcement deadline just days away, data loss is no longer just an inconvenience—it's a liability. Here is a battle-tested recovery strategy using KVM, NVMe, and rigorous scripting to keep the Norwegian Data Protection Authority off your back.
With the GDPR deadline just days away, choosing the right container orchestrator isn't just about 'cool factor'—it's about compliance and control. We benchmark Kubernetes 1.10 against Docker Swarm on Norwegian KVM infrastructure.
With the GDPR deadline less than two weeks away, manual server updates are a legal liability. Learn how to implement a strict GitOps workflow using Kubernetes 1.10 and GitLab CI to ensure total compliance and rapid disaster recovery on Norwegian infrastructure.
Most load balancers break gRPC. We dissect why HTTP/2 multiplexing creates hot spots and how to fix it using the new NGINX 1.13.10 support and client-side strategies.
With the GDPR deadline looming, moving to microservices isn't just about code—it's about compliance and infrastructure survival. Here is the battle-tested roadmap for May 2018.
It’s 3 AM. Nagios says the server is up. Your users say it’s down. This guide breaks down the critical shift from 2000s-era monitoring to modern observability using Prometheus, ELK, and proper KVM isolation.
A battle-hardened look at K8s networking primitives, CNI choices, and the hidden overhead of overlays. We analyze how to tune iptables and MTU settings for Norwegian infrastructure before the GDPR deadline.
Monitoring tells you the server is down. Observability tells you why. A deep dive for Systems Architects into the shift from green dashboards to actionable data, utilizing Prometheus, ELK, and KVM isolation just weeks before the GDPR deadline.
With the GDPR deadline weeks away and user patience at an all-time low, simple uptime checks are obsolete. We dissect the specific monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana 5, ELK) required to maintain sub-100ms response times in Norway.
With GDPR just weeks away, relying on simple ping checks is negligence. Here is how to build a robust monitoring stack using Prometheus 2.0 and Grafana 5 on Norwegian infrastructure.
It is May 2018. Nagios says your server is fine, but customers in Trondheim are timing out. Here is why traditional monitoring is dead, how to build an observability stack with Prometheus and ELK, and why infrastructure sovereignty in Norway is your safety net before GDPR hits later this month.
With the GDPR deadline weeks away, running containers as root is no longer just bad practice—it's a liability. Here is the battle-hardened guide to locking down Docker on KVM infrastructure.
It is April 2018. Everyone is breaking monoliths, but few are handling the network latency and consistency trade-offs correctly. Here is a battle-tested architecture guide for Norwegian DevOps teams facing the GDPR deadline.
With the GDPR deadline looming just one month away, slow deployment pipelines are a liability. We analyze how disk I/O bottlenecks kill Docker builds and how to fix them using GitLab CI, layer caching, and NVMe-backed infrastructure in Oslo.
With the GDPR deadline looming on May 25th, choosing the right container orchestrator is about more than just features—it's about compliance, latency, and survival. We pit Kubernetes 1.10 against Docker Swarm to see which stack belongs on your Norwegian infrastructure.
