Balloon Man by Cimuanos Scalability is a key requirement for cloud applications. With Kubernetes, scaling an application is as simple as increasing the number of replicas for the corresponding deployment or ReplicaSet—but it is a manual process. Kubernetes allows you to automatically scale applications (that is, Pods in a deployment or ReplicaSet) declaratively using the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler specification. By default […]

Given the number of questions we've been receiving about SD-WAN, the technology seems to be gaining substantial traction in Russia. Vendors, of course, are not idle and are offering their concepts, while some bold pioneers are already implementing them in their networks. We work with almost all vendors, and over the years in our lab, I've had the chance to delve into the architecture of each major […]

Charlie Somerville, who is developing the CrabOS operating system in Rust as a hobby, has introduced a humorous but functional project called DOS Subsystem for Linux (DSL), presented as an alternative to Microsoft's WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for those who prefer working in DOS. Like the WSL subsystem, DSL allows for direct execution of Linux applications, but not […]
The NetBSD project has announced a change to the default window manager in the X11 session from twm to CTWM. CTWM is a fork of twm that emerged in 1992, developed with the aim of creating a lightweight and fully customizable window manager, allowing users to modify its appearance and behavior to their liking. The twm window manager has been offered in NetBSD for the past 20 years, and […]
The release of GNU Grep 3.5, a utility for organizing data searches in text files, has been announced. The new version restores the old behavior of the "--files-without-match" (-L) option, which was changed in grep 3.2 for uniformity with the git-grep utility. In grep 3.2, searches became successful if the processed file was mentioned in the list, but this has now reverted to the behavior where […]

Hello, Habr. Today, I continue the series of publications that I wrote specifically for the launch of the new stream of the 'Software Architect' course. Introduction Choosing an architectural style is one of the fundamental technical decisions when building an information system. In this series of articles, I propose to explore the most popular architectural styles for building applications and answer the question of when each architectural style is most preferable. […]
Surely, everyone involved in the implementation of IPv6 or at least interested in this set of protocols knows about Google's IPv6 traffic graph. Similar data is collected by Facebook and APNIC, but for some reason, Google's data is the standard benchmark (although, for instance, there's no visibility into China). The graph is subject to noticeable fluctuations — traffic is higher on weekends, and noticeably […]
