A few months ago, I stumbled across a service called ODrive (“Oh” Drive) that allows you to combine multiple cloud storage services together. Since that time, I’ve been experimenting with ODrive, testing it to see how well it works, if at all, with my Fedora Linux environment.
These articles are a bit long in the tooth, but CSS Corp has a useful series of articles on bundling various Linux distributions for use with OpenStack: bundling CentOS , bundling CentOS with VNC , bundling Debian , and bundling OpenSUSE. has posted a good hypervisor feature comparison document. in the comparison, even though RHEV 3.1
Although this post is a bit older (it’s from September of last year), it’s still an interesting comparison of both OpenStack and CloudStack. Although these posts are storage-related, the real focus is on how the storage stack is implemented in a virtualization solution, which is why I’m putting them in this section.
Florian makes the “dreaded Linux-OpenStack comparison,” combining it with models and charts from Moore’s “Crossing the Chasm.” ” Florian posits that a key adoption point is that the underlying platform—be it Linux or OpenStack—must “become irrelevant.”
Naim kicks off the session with looking at the four phases users go through when they are choosing/adopting a storage solution: Choosing the right storage solution. The first item is storage type. Encryption is also supported, with key storage in KMS. Linux kernel 4.0 Testing and optimizing. Ingest (loading data).
The rise of the disaggregated network operating system (NOS) marches on: this time, it’s Big Switch Networks announcing expanded hardware support in Open Network Linux (ONL) , upon which its own NOS is based. I use OTR with Adium on OS X, and OTR with Pidgin on my Fedora Linux laptop.). Networking. Servers/Hardware.
Ansible uses YAML to describe your automation jobs, which is easy to learn in comparison to other languages because it looks very similar to plain English. But y ou can do all of that and more in our free Ansible Quick Start course on Linux Academy , right now. LPI Linux Essentials 1.6. Why is it considered to be the simplest?
Three initial reactions, on my end: $399 for this seems crazily inexpensive, particularly by comparison with the Valve’s VR headset Index. Internally, the Steam Deck runs on a new version of SteamOS , the Linux-based operating system that Valve used to run for its Steam Machine project.
In this post , Jakub Sitnicki digs way deep into the Linux kernel to uncover the answer to the question, “Why are there no entries in the conntrack table for SYN packets dropped by the firewall?” Linux malware is getting more sophisticated. ” Get ready to get nerdy! Servers/Hardware.
Cumulus VX, if you aren’t aware, is a community-supported virtual appliance version of Cumulus Linux aimed at helping folks preview and test “full-blown” Cumulus Linux (which, of course, requires compatible hardware). In case you’re interested, here’s a collection of storage trends and predictions for 2016. Servers/Hardware.
At DevOps Networking Forum 2016, I had the opportunity to share a presentation on some Linux networking options. I knew Microsoft was cozying up to Linux, but I honestly didn’t expect they would port SQL Server to Linux. You may also find this (related) article on memory inside Linux containers to be helpful. Networking.
Courtesy of Tigera, Alex Pollitt shares some guidelines on when Linux conntrack is no longer your friend. Apparently Dell’s new docking stations support firmware updates via Linux.

He makes comparisons among server virtualization, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and SDN, and feels that in order for SDN to really hit this market it needs to be “not a user-facing feature, but rather a means to an end” (his words). Erik Smith at EMC has published a series of articles on “virtual storage networks.”
Inside, the 7c processor comes paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. That includes anything elaborate with Linux, and anything that requires an external monitor. For comparison, the Spin 513 is largely competing with Mediatek and Intel Celeron machines. I also heard some occasional distortion at maximum volume.
Anthony Shaw has a good comparison of Ansible, StackStorm, and Salt (with a particular view at applicability in a networking context). Here’s a quick post on nftables , the (eventual) Linux replacement for iptables. Check out this blog on work done to bring firmware updates into the land of Linux. Virtualization.

I mentioned at the start of this post that I’d provide some comparison to other methods for deploying containers in an automated fashion. Visit the site for more information on virtualization, servers, storage, and other enterprise technologies. Interoperability Virtualization Automation Docker Linux OpenStack'
Cumulus VX, if you aren’t aware, is a community-supported virtual appliance version of Cumulus Linux aimed at helping folks preview and test “full-blown” Cumulus Linux (which, of course, requires compatible hardware). In case you’re interested, here’s a collection of storage trends and predictions for 2016. Servers/Hardware.
I won’t go into all the gory details here; see this post for some background and then see this update from last October that summarized my previous efforts to migrate to Linux ( Fedora , specifically) as my primary desktop operating system. The motivation for using Linux is something I’ve already discussed.
Christian Kellner talks about work done on Thunderbolt 3 security levels for GNU/Linux. Jorge Salamero Sanz (on behalf of Sysdig) provides a similar comparison, this time looking at ECS, Fargate, and EKS. Tony Bourke has a two-part series on ZFS and Linux and encryption ( part 1 , part 2 ). Servers/Hardware. Virtualization.
Cumulus Networks recently shifted their pricing and licensing model toward perpetual licenses; this article has more information and a comparison of the old vs. new models. ZFS will be in the next Ubuntu Linux LTS release. Roie Ben Haim has an article on how to improve the NSX GUI user experience.
I didn’t do so well on storage links; apologies to my storage-focused friends! Here’s Chip Zoller’s comparison of Gatekeper and Kyverno. Via TecMint, James Kiarie explains how to use VirtualBox VMs on KVM in Linux. Welcome to Technology Short Take #138. Networking. Virtualization. Career/Soft Skills.
One could look at DaemonSets (which are used to ensure that a particular pod is always running on every node; useful for “infrastructure” services like logging, storage, monitoring, etc.) However, there now seem to be some efforts to push Kubernetes to support other types of applications as well.
announced the Deck in July as its latest foray into both hardware and its support of gaming on the Linux operating system. All three models also feature a slot for a microSD card for expanded storage, which is mandatory for the cheapest brand of Deck and a solid quality-of-life bonus for the 512GB. For comparison’s sake.
The model I tested, which costs $629, has a Core i5-10210U processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. You can configure it with an i3 or an i7, and can jump up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage as well.).

Jorge Castro shares some informal notes on using Clear Linux as an everyday DevOps/cloud-native/Kubernetes client. Next is an older article from Patrick Ogenstad that provides an introduction to ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning).
If I were to still be in the business of administering servers, I’d be a Windows expert and feel comfortable managing Linux appliances within the environment. Most Linux admins wouldn’t have too much of a problem installing the solution. I believe I’m of the same ilk of the typical traditional VMware enterprise sysadmin.
I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6.

Setting up Pyroscope is a breeze, regardless of whether you are using Docker, Linux, or seeking documentation for Ruby or Go.
I guess there have been for example a virus tool comparisons that both can found and so on but I'm not aware of any like systematic long running effort of measuring a set of tools and how they can form. And then there are, for example, dedicated Linux distributions which server like on collections of tools ready to be used.

Virtualization.
Kevin Houston’s March 2015 blade server comparisons might be a useful place to start. It’s important to note that these security enhancements don’t really represent “net new” functionality but rather reflect existing Linux security constructs now being exposed and usable by Docker. Kenneth Hui has a nice series running on Mesos.
