Distri — a distribution for testing rapid package management technologies

Posted on

Michael Stapelberg, the author of the i3wm tiling window manager and a former active Debian developer (maintainer of around 170 packages), is developing an experimental distribution called distri and the namesake package manager. The project is positioned as an exploration of potential ways to increase the performance of package management systems and embodies some new ideas for building distributions. The package manager's code is written in the Go language and is distributed under […]

To address this and familiarize you more with the Extreme product line, I plan to write a small series of articles, starting with switches for enterprises. The series will include the following articles: Overview […]

Load balancing in Openstack

Posted on

In large cloud systems, the issue of automatic load balancing or resource allocation becomes particularly pressing. This concern has been addressed by Tionix (a developer and operator of cloud services, part of the Rostelecom group). Since our main development platform is OpenStack, and we, like everyone else, are a bit lazy, we decided to select a ready-made module that […]

Load Balancing in OpenStack (Part 2)

Posted on

In the previous article, we discussed attempts to use Watcher and presented a test report. We periodically conduct such tests for load balancing and other critical functions of a large enterprise or operator cloud. The high complexity of the task may require several articles to describe our project. Today, we are publishing the second article in the series, focusing on load balancing virtual machines in the cloud. A bit of terminology […]

Confidential 'cloud'. Looking for alternatives to open solutions

Posted on

I have an engineering background, but I interact more with entrepreneurs and production directors. Some time ago, the owner of an industrial company approached me for advice. Despite the fact that the enterprise is large and was established in the 90s, management and accounting operate in an outdated way within a local network. This is a result of concerns for their business and increased state control. Laws and regulations […]

The chmod command did not work properly. Log leak was prevented. There are no indications in the GUI that Syncthing is disabled. Adding/updating pending folders increased the number of saved configurations. Closing a closed channel […]
