The carbon footprint of a large rack mounted server is order-of-magnitude a ton of carbon a year. A rough guide if you don’t have any better data is that with no traffic to a system it will be 10% utilization and use 30% of peak power, 25% utilization uses 50% of peak power, and at 50% utilization it uses 75% of peak power.

It is common to see a value of “ 0″ ( or sometimes “10” ) on database servers, telling the kernel to prefer to swap to memory for better response times. 20-30% is a good general default for “dirty_ratio,” but on large-memory database servers, this can be a lot of memory.

Linux has been adding tracing technologies over the years: kprobes (kernel dynamic tracing), uprobes (user-level dynamic tracing), tracepoints (static tracing), and perf_events (profiling and hardware counters). There's a lot about Linux containers that isn't well documented yet, especially since it's a moving target. amazon").

More efficient SSL/TLS handling for OneAgent traffic. By default, all OneAgent traffic is now routed to your embedded ActiveGate via NGINX on port 443. As announced with the release of Dynatrace Managed version 1.150 , we now route all incoming traffic through NGINX in an effort to increase performance and ease configuration effort.

What is the network traffic going to be between services we migrate and those that have to stay in the current data center?

This metric shows how much time it takes for the server to respond with something. This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for.

Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). This is one of the main reasons why content delivery networks (CDNs) exist: They place servers physically closer to the end user in order to reduce latency, and thus delay, as much as possible. and prior (a)).
