Various forms can take shape when discussing workloads within the realm of cloud computing environments – examples include order management databases, collaboration tools, videoconferencing systems, virtual desktops, and disaster recovery mechanisms. This applies to both virtual machines and container-based deployments.

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. As is also the case this limitation is at the database level (especially the storage engine) rather than the hardware level.

PMM2 uses VictoriaMetrics (VM) as its metrics storage engine. The VictoriaMetrics team has also published some best practices , which can also be referred to while planning for resources for setting up PMM2. Virtual Memory utilization was averaging 48 GB of RAM. We have tested PMM version 2.33.0

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). I happened to be speaking at a technical confering while still debugging this, and mentioned what I was working on to a processor engineer. include <sys/time.h>

High availability works through a combination of the following: No single point of failure (SPOF) : You must eliminate any single point of failure in the database environment, including physical or virtual hardware the database system relies on that would cause it to fail. Please note that these are presented as general best practices.

So in 1988 I joined the Sun sales force and became a Systems Engineer (nowadays we would say Solutions Architect). Another big jump, but now it was my job to run benchmarks in the lab, and write white papers that explained the new products to the world, as they were launched.
