But if they call it cellular architecture, it sounds much more exotic than a shared-nothing active/active service!

My own words, but this is fairly trivial in the context of these massive companies with presumably PHDs working on their architecture.

I migrated some old BigIP load balancers over to Apache in 2004ish, and extended some of mod_proxy to do some "unholy" things at the time. We also did a lot of direct server return stuff when no load balancer you could buy could h

It may be shallow, but architecting for this is not really "advanced, FAANG-only accessible methodology". I'm surprised their services have been as "reliable" as they have been considering such trivial stuff is just

Man what a mess. Meanwhile, everyone else can extend a library used by their common services in a common language trivially.

Just odd a company worth billions and billions of dollars is just now discovering HA models standard since the 90s. Can expand the Clos network architecture to these distributed service applications too. But judging by Slack's client q

So they used a feature built into a load balancer to gracefully drain traffic from specific availability zones? Odd that a feature found in load balancers from the last 25 years is a blog post worthy thing.

May not cover this scenario, but lots of emergency vehicles don't use sirens at night. The thought is, the bright flashing lights is plenty - and if the road isn't busy, why wake all the neighborhoods up on a routine service call.

AI is becoming more and more human every day! Though, honestly, at least these driverless cars are backed by billion dollar companies, and can pay for the damages. I've seen plenty of less than savory people in junky cars nearly hit em

Have not - looks nice though. Around here, you'll mostly only encounter the Dell/Supermicro/HP/Lenovo. I actually find Dell to have acheived the lowest "friction" for deployments. You can get device manifests

Preparing for the end of the world? How does one plan all the contingencies for that? Seems like the most insane thing he was considering really.

Yah presumably they put stuff through it's paces and give everything good fit and finish before running workloads. But failures do happen either way
193.
by skullone 3y ago
"it depends". Dell is fairly good overall, on-site techs are outsourced subcontractors a lot so that can be a mixed bag, pushy sales. Supermicro is good on a budget, not quite mature full fault management or complete SNMP or redf

Not that nothing will fail - but some manufacturers have just really good fault management, monitoring, alerting, etc. And even the simplest shit like SNMP with a few custom MIBs from the vendor (which theres some that do it better). Facili

What hardware are you buying? Across tens of thousands of physical nodes in my environment, only a few would have "fatal" enough problems that required manual intervention per year. Yes we had hundreds of drives die a year, some

The blog headline is "dope shit only", but this blog entry is the lamest account of a lame "industry" with the lamest "point" (if there even is one?) I've ever seen.

Likewise, cool stuff from the EU or China that don't have it warehoused in the US makes it a drag waiting a long time for shipping and customs to get. Minor gripe, but I want it now :)

One funny thing, CARP on the same L2 segment can cause funny things to VRRP nodes - they're that similar :p

My house was built in 1885, timber framed. There's no rot, it's been maintained, re-plumbed and re-wired a few times, and new owners only need to keep with basic maintenance. It's been insulated as well, utility bills are in

Fiberglass repair is quite well understood. Part of the problem is some early turbine blades used wood cores which are incredibly difficult to repair. But if they used synthetic cores (coosa board) they'd have a stable core to repair f

Running them at a pre-determined RPM constantly can resolve lack of VVT, but that limits their applications. New materials for apex seals being researched could alleviate their longevity issues too. But, I have a big soft spot for rotaries

Or this is a step to ensure regional stability in the face of a superpower acting aggressive to their neighbors and the rest of the world.
