its not about its shortcomings, its a database. your saying it replaces chef and opsworks. you're missing a few pieces to make that picture. ie. how do i update the load balancer as i add capacity to my web app, how do i setup a new db

in a word. support. as opposed to oracle overlords, who will eventually stop supporting grandfather'd customers and only support unbreakable linux. there's kgraft and kpatch (suse and redhat respectively), different capabilities.

most of that article reads like nih.. cgroups, namespaces, seccomp, capabilities.. portable app distribution.. no similarities there.

This article has several misconceptions ignores a few other considerations. consul is doing raft consensus for data replication, and its k/v api is not gossip based, its strongly consistent. the author seems to have missed the comparis

amz is ip biased, as is google. apple is the only content provider i've found that works traveling abroad (minus vpns/tunnels) as they associate content to account based on cc billing address (though they have terms to indicate ot

that's true to some extent, but it also has to do with which namespaces and isolation features a given container solution supports, for example lxc has seccomp syscall filtering support and user namespace support ootb which would have

That's pretty cool. One of the goals for the orangebox was being robust and compact enough to throw in a suitcase and fly to a conference. The nucs win on compactness, and also via intel's vpro/amt can do remote power managem

yeah.. we should all use a distro based on something unopinionated.. like systemd ;-) personally i'd rather benefit from solid pkg management with updates and bits available for free (as opposed to only paid subscriptions) and with wid

out of touch how? the ubuntu pkg security update for openssl/heartbleed was available the same day of the public announcement, without the benefit of prior notification (unlike redhat who had prior notice and released their fix a day a

So an individual vm instance in any cloud provider is unreliable. Welcome to the cloud. Its foolish to assume otherwise, keep backups and restore to another instance or go HA. What's unreasonable is to assume they should publish a stat

There's quite a few.. super fast networks, network based elb (i assume cause it scales up smoothly and instantly), persistent volumes that can be attached to multiple machines at the same time (read only).. etc.

This article is painfully old... cross memory attach landed in 3.2 http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.2#head-a5e26c6275e85a5c9c41... kdbus is coming, but its an entirely different implementation by gkh and systemd folks, its

A lot of the cgroup kernel code is from google among others (openvz also notable). The lxc userspace is primarily driven by canonical (and previously ibm).

"User job requests kick off a bidding process by the machines in the cluster. Based on the received bids the engine assigns the job to a machine." yeah.. superficially that sounds very similar to mesos. another system that can do

user namespaces will solve this. lxc in ubuntu 14.04 already supports docker in user lxc, ie. no root needed. add silly disclaimer.. yes docker has some notion of portable containers plugins, but it uses lxc atm, and the feature is in lxc u

i was trying out serf, but one issue that killed it for orchestration is behavior around network partitions or transient net issues, namely messages get dropped on the floor. which would need a layer on top to query out distributed eventual

Another issue with zookeeper, the c bindings which are the basis for alot of language bindings, is both buggy and often out of date, esp wrt to individual language bindings. I've often see internal cpu spiked loads on c lib's inte
