Containers have gained significant popularity due to their ability to isolate applications from the diverse computing environments they operate in. They offer developers a streamlined approach, enabling them to concentrate on the core application logic and its associated dependencies, all encapsulated within a unified unit.
Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, offering powerful features for managing and scaling containerized applications. In this guide, we will explore the various aspects of Kubernetes scaling and explain how to effectively scale your applications using Kubernetes. From understanding the scaling concepts to practical implementation techniques, this guide aims to equip you with the knowledge to leverage Kubernetes scaling capabilities efficiently.
We recently moved our infrastructure fully into Google Cloud. Most things went very smoothly, but there was one issue we came across last week that just wouldn’t stop cropping up. What follows is a tale of rabbit holes, red herrings, table flips and (eventually) a very satisfying smoking gun. Grab a cuppa, and strap in. Our journey starts, fittingly, with an incident getting declared... 💥🚨
We explain why you should connect the leading two cloud providers, the options available, and which one is right for your business.
By licensing the Microsoft System Center suite, customers unlock a comprehensive array of tools encompassing server management, virtual machine administration, and automation capabilities. Frequently, customers are observed deploying automation use cases with System Center Orchestrator to meet specific infrastructure management needs.
The online playing field for businesses in multiple niches has expanded, with the internet enjoying an overarching presence in various facets. New and larger markets have become more accessible through online platforms. All an established business needs is computer-based tools and an internet connection that won’t falter. Expansion is often rewarding but has its fair share of risks; thus, melding a nice blend of cybersecurity with a growing company is the safe way to go about it.
Netdata monitors tc QoS classes for all interfaces. If you also use FireQOS it will collect interface and class names. There is a shell helper for this (all parsing is done by the plugin in C code - this shell script is just a configuration for the command to run to get tc output). The source of the tc plugin is here. It is somewhat complex, because a state machine was needed to keep track of all the tc classes, including the pseudo classes tc dynamically creates. You can see a live demo here.
Netdata reads /proc/
In this blog, we will walk you through the basics of getting Netdata, Prometheus and Grafana all working together and monitoring your application servers. This article will be using docker on your local workstation. We will be working with docker in an ad-hoc way, launching containers that run /bin/bash and attaching a TTY to them. We use docker here in a purely academic fashion and do not condone running Netdata in a container.
