Technical insights and best practices for DevOps & Infrastructure
With the recent fall of Safe Harbor, data sovereignty is critical. We dissect practical Docker security hardening, from dropping kernel capabilities to ensuring true isolation with KVM.
Manual FTP uploads are a recipe for disaster. Learn how to implement a Git-centric deployment pipeline using Jenkins, Ansible, and robust KVM virtualization to automate your infrastructure.
Is it a code memory leak or just oversold hosting? We break down the ELK stack, CPU steal time, and why the recent Safe Harbor ruling makes hosting in Oslo critical for performance and compliance.
Microservices solve code complexity but introduce network chaos. Learn how to implement a robust service discovery layer using Consul, HAProxy, and rock-solid KVM infrastructure to keep your distributed system from collapsing.
With the recent Safe Harbor invalidation, knowing where your data lives is as critical as knowing if your server is up. We explore moving from basic monitoring to deep system introspection using ELK and Graphite on high-performance Norwegian infrastructure.
With the recent invalidation of the Safe Harbor agreement, relying on US-based clouds is risky. Here is how to build a compliant, high-performance edge layer in Norway using Varnish, Nginx, and bare-metal performance.
Microservices solve scalability but create a networking nightmare. With the recent invalidation of Safe Harbor, hosting your service architecture on local Norwegian infrastructure is no longer just an option—it's a necessity. Here is how to architect a fault-tolerant service communication layer using Nginx, Consul, and Docker.
With the EU Safe Harbor ruling invalidating US data transfers, hosting your build pipeline in Norway is no longer optional—it's survival. We dive into the Jenkins Workflow plugin (the future 2.0 standard) to replace fragile UI configurations with robust code.
Stop blaming the code when the infrastructure is choking. We analyze the late-2015 APM landscape, from ELK stack configurations to debugging CPU steal time on virtual servers, ensuring your Norwegian user base gets the latency they deserve.
The ECJ just invalidated Safe Harbor. Relying solely on US hyperscalers is now a compliance risk. Here is how to build a hybrid infrastructure that balances sovereignty with scalability.
It is October 2015. The ECJ just invalidated Safe Harbor, and your Nagios dashboard says everything is fine while your users see 504 errors. Here is why the shift from simple monitoring to deep observability is critical for Norwegian CTOs right now.
Green dashboards don't equal happy users. Learn why traditional monitoring is failing modern DevOps teams and how to implement deep system introspection using ELK and Nginx in a Nordic infrastructure.
It is 2015, and editing config files manually in production is no longer acceptable. Learn how to implement 'Infrastructure as Code' using Git hooks, Ansible, and Docker to ensure your Norwegian VPS environments are reproducible and robust.
Hardcoded IP addresses are the silent killers of distributed systems. In this guide, we ditch static configurations for a dynamic, self-healing service architecture using Consul and HAProxy, optimized for the Norwegian high-performance hosting landscape.
Is your application slow, or is it the network? Learn how to diagnose bottlenecks using the ELK stack, New Relic, and system metrics without blaming the wrong layer.
In 2015, hosting in Frankfurt isn't enough. We explore practical strategies for distributed infrastructure, the rise of the 'Edge', and why local presence in Oslo is critical for performance and compliance.
Containerization is sweeping through Norwegian dev teams, but the default settings are a security nightmare. Here is how to lock down Docker 1.8 without sacrificing agility.
Is your monitoring strategy just a cron job and a prayer? In 2015, 'uptime' isn't enough. We explore the transition from Nagios to time-series metrics, how to detect the dreaded CPU Steal on virtual machines, and why hosting in Norway matters for your data logs.
Uptime isn't enough. Discover how to diagnose high latency, banish I/O wait time, and why KVM virtualization is non-negotiable for serious Norwegian DevOps teams.
Is your monthly infrastructure bill scaling faster than your user base? We dissect the hidden costs of public cloud over-provisioning versus high-performance KVM architectures in the Norwegian market.
Configuration drift destroys infrastructure. Learn how to deploy a fault-tolerant etcd cluster using CoreOS principles in 2015, and why network latency is the silent killer of Raft consensus.
Logs won't save you when latency spikes. Discover how to implement real Application Performance Monitoring, tune PHP-FPM, and why infrastructure choices like CoolVDS dictate your ceiling.
Kubernetes 1.0 has arrived, but the flat IP model is a headache on traditional VPS. We dive deep into Flannel, VXLAN performance, and why your underlying kernel matters more than you think.
A deep dive into optimizing Nginx and Linux kernel settings for API gateways. We cover connection handling, buffer sizes, and why KVM virtualization is non-negotiable for consistent latency in 2015.
Navigating the nascent container orchestration wars of 2015. We benchmark Docker Swarm, the newly released Kubernetes 1.0, and Apache Mesos to see which stack belongs on your Norwegian VPS infrastructure.
Microservices solve scale but introduce chaos. Learn how to build a robust routing layer using Consul and HAProxy on KVM—the 2015 standard for resilient architecture.
Microservices are the trend of 2015, but they introduce massive HTTP overhead. Learn how to tune Nginx, the Linux kernel, and your hosting environment to handle the load without crashing.
Kubernetes 1.0 is finally here, but the flat-networking model is causing headaches for early adopters. We dissect the performance costs of Flannel vs. Weave and why your underlying VPS architecture decides your cluster's fate.
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.
Pager fatigue destroys DevOps teams. We break down how to tune Zabbix for scale, why 'steal time' is the silent killer of performance, and how proper KVM isolation prevents false positives.
