Block storage + K8s all down.

that what you get when you host storage on k8s (assuming)

Wow, there's quite the laundry list of issues on that site for last month alone. :S

Finally released!!

Also looking to acquire some beefier ARM platforms that I can run experimental ESXi builds on. - https://shop.solid-run.com/product/SRM8040S00D16GE008S00CH/ has caught my eye

Now this looks really sweet. That's some cool stuff... both the hardware and ESXi on ARM. $459 is a little high for that CPU and only 16GB, but not horrible.

Other Agile methodologies, at least in their earlier incarnations, didn't pay much attention to CI. CI is great, but people were trying to figure out what it was and how to do it in 1999. Shops talking about (not doing, just talking about) CI were in the top .1% back then. It was an era of huge software engineering progress and change. Loads of ideas came up and some became major, like CI, and some died off and are forgotten, like PP.

@Pete-S said in What is the fascination of Solaris OS ?:

Sun did a few other notable things besides Solaris, such as Java.

Yeah, Oracle wasn't the reason Solaris was well known and good. More likely the reason it is dead.
https://meshedinsights.com/2017/09/03/oracle-finally-killed-sun/

Yeah, Solaris was good in spite of Oracle. And Oracle was only around for one release. The first several decades of Solaris and SunOS were all under Sun. Oracle only killed it off, without Oracle, it would still be an amazing OS today.

We use DNS health checks for this, Route53 and CLoudFlare have this but it comes at a n additional cost.

This site reports 2 as well:

@Emad-R : There's a market for that too... 🙂

@Emad-R
Absolutely. Two things:

They are new so servers are most likely not overloaded with VMs. Time will tell if they continue that way after the service gets popular Depending on the configuration, they are more expensive

@JaredBusch : Waterloo is over an hour away from Toronto, so quite the difference. Considerably different "way of life" as well.

Similar to saying you live in Buffalo when, in fact, you live in Rochester...

Agree. I live in the Waterloo area and it is NOTHING like Toronto.

Not to anyone from outside the immediate area. Let alone another country halfway around the world.

@Emad-R said in Does Container tech makes backups and RAID obsolete:

Hi,

Do containers and management platform for containers, makes all the hard work of making the server resilient obsolete like RAID and backups, however we will assume that the DB are hosted outside of this scope like on Amazon services.

If you have a server running 500 containers, would it be easier for automation to spin up another 500 containers on new hardware (while dealing with whatever issues are caused by 500 containers being down) or easier to have RAID and simply swap a disk and continue on?

Actually for "easier", the container spinups can be automated, but the drive swap requires a human. The real effort is in acquiring another server to spin them up on. One approach is ignoring that an entire replacement server is needed.

Having a full server die and take all of its workloads with it has all the same impact with containers as with anything else. Containers are really just "really heavy threads", nothing more.

I preferred to use Visual Studio Code instead.

It's just a steam and video machine. The one-liner quick installs with chocolatey as he likely does is best in that case. No need to get fancy.

Are you sure it is RockChat now Rocket.Chat?

AID 10 on Linux File Server machine, how can I speed up this NFS storage by an intelligent
cache, for example I wish to add another 250 GB SSD to act as cache, how will tha

Yeah the RAID 10 is on HDD, due to cost effectiveness. Will check LVM since its baked in.

Another Reason why KVM is superior.

Btw I tried Hyper V manager on Win10, and used Gen2 VMs as oppose to using my standard VMware Workstation or Player or VirtualBox, and I was unable to complete the OS install cause it did some checkups on the VM and ISO and told me that the licensing was not valid, however I think cause I slipstreamed offline updates on the ISO that caused the issue.

It feels when you even wish to try MS stuff, they try to give you the finger some how.

How much RAM did you assign to the VM?

It was not RAM issue, it literraly came up and told me you dont have valid license

The same ISO works perfectly in VMware, what they think we should buy stuff and support without testing it first for the first decade or so.

This is why I asked about the RAM.

Ok I give you that, A feature that they enabled called
dynamic memory
breaks the install of their very own Win10 install. Even though they could have made better error log.

But when I wanted to use VMware Worksation again i was blocked. It gave me another error after Hyper-V got installed. Like WTF breaking the leader in Virtualization to promote your own shit. apparently Vmware WS and Hyper-V can not go exist. so i said screw it, never again, I will learn hyper V if i was forced in company but no need to bother with it now .

@Emad-R I use it with Nginx all the time, I use it with Apache too, but I couldn't tell you about performance difference because I never bothered to benchmark it.
As for separation, I do use it in separate docker containers, I think all my instances connect to Nginx. The only place I use it with Apache is on the same VPS, but I see no reason you couldn't separate them and use TCP to connect.

@tonyshowoff said in LAMP on the cheap, or how to optimize ?:

Installing crappy cPanel is like buying a sports car and putting a boot on the wheel. There's literally no good reason what so ever to have it, it's slow as hell and eats resources like crazy. Just learn a few commands and you'll be fine.

Don't get yourself stuck with PHP 5.x, it's a dead end, fix your code now and/or do it right from the start and use PHP 7.

Apache with mod_php is a hell of a lot faster than PHP-FPM, because it's executed as a part of your running httpd thread pool rather than executing PHP literally every single page request. Nginx is faster than Apache except when it comes to PHP then hands down always use Apache with mod_php. If you turn on PHP 7's opcache you'll do even better.

In case you consider it and try to go with nginx, since that's what the cool kids try to push on people, OPcache won't make up for PHP-FPM having to literally start a process every single page request, every, single, page request. Nginx is a great reverse proxy though.

It also depends on what you're doing overall, memcached is great I've used it on a huge scale but what are you caching? What database are you looking at using, that'd really be the only reason to have an object cache like memcached at all.

Interesting, I will see how it performs without PHP FPM.
