Unfortunately, container security is much more difficult to achieve than security for more traditional compute platforms, such as virtual machines or bare metal hosts. Many good security tools provide that function, and benchmarks from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) are clear and prescriptive. Why is container security tricky?

This post complements the previous best practice guides this time with the focus on MySQL and MariaDB and achieving top levels of performance with the HammerDB MySQL TPC-C test. InnoDB is the storage engine that will deliver the best OLTP throughput and should be chosen for this test. . HammerDB difference from Sysbench.

CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. Note that Ubuntu also has a frame to show entry into vDSO (virtual dynamic shared object). Checking those available: $ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource. This was much worse many years ago on Xen virtual machine guests.
