  • zorangagic/awsinfo – Daily Inventory of all AWS resources in excel format
  • High availability clustering on AWS | Zoran’s Blog – How do we keep legacy applications highly available on AWS? I have already written about this previously and there are many good alternatives with the upcoming Cloudwatch instance recovery the easiest to implement. Yet Cloudwatch instance recovery or autoscaling group with min=1,max=1 still requires failure to be detected (1-2 mins) and new instance to be booted up (2-3 mins). If the application can not tolerate outage of 3-5 minutes then high availability clustering may be a good alternative

  • One Thing Well | Let’s Encrypt – Let’s Encrypt is now in public beta and offers a command line tool that makes the process of getting and renewing certificates easy, but you have to run it as root, and it’s designed to rewrite your web server’s configuration files. Here’s a selection of alternative tools and clients:
  • Tsung – It can be used to stress HTTP, WebDAV, SOAP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, LDAP and Jabber/XMPP servers. Tsung is a free software released under the GPLv2 license. The purpose of Tsung is to simulate users in order to test the scalability and performance of IP based client/server applications. You can use it to do load and stress testing of your servers. Many protocols have been implemented and tested, and it can be easily extended. It can be distributed on several client machines and is able to simulate hundreds of thousands of virtual users concurrently (or even millions if you have enough hardware …). Tsung is developed in Erlang, an open-source language made by Ericsson for building robust fault-tolerant distributed applications. [ via http://onethingwell.org/post/134852940551/tsung ]
  • Internet Redundancy with ASA SLA and IPSec – PacketU – I’ve seen a lot of examples of redundant Internet connections that use SLA to track a primary connection. The logic is that the primary Internet connection is constantly being validated by pinging something on that ISP’s network and routing floats over to a secondary service provider in the event of a failure. I was recently challenged with how this interacted with IPSec. As a result I built out this configuration and performed some fairly extensive testing.

  • Keepalived for Linux – Keepalived is a routing software written in C. The main goal of this project is to provide simple and robust facilities for loadbalancing and high-availability to Linux system and Linux based infrastructures. Loadbalancing framework relies on well-known and widely used Linux Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module providing Layer4 loadbalancing. Keepalived implements a set of checkers to dynamically and adaptively maintain and manage loadbalanced server pool according their health. On the other hand high-availability is achieved by VRRP protocol. VRRP is a fundamental brick for router failover. In addition, Keepalived implements a set of hooks to the VRRP finite state machine providing low-level and high-speed protocol interactions. Keepalived frameworks can be used independently or all together to provide resilient infrastructures.
  • The BIRD Internet Routing Daemon Project – BIRD is an Internet Routing Daemon designed to avoid all of these shortcomings, to support all the routing technology used in the today's Internet or planned to be used in near future and to have a clean extensible architecture allowing new routing protocols to be incorporated easily. Among other features, BIRD supports: * both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols * multiple routing tables * the Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4) * the Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2) * the Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2, OSPFv3) * the Router Advertisements for IPv6 hosts a virtual protocol for exchange of routes between different routing tables on a single host a command-line interface allowing on-line control and inspection of status of the daemon soft reconfiguration[…]
  • How to make MaxScale High Available with Corosync/Pacemaker | MariaDB – MaxScale, an open-source database-centric router for MySQL and MariaDB makes High Availability possible by hiding the complexity of backends and masking failures. MaxScale itself however is a single application running in a Linux box between the client application and the databases – so how do we make MaxScale High Available? This blog post shows how to quickly setup a Pacemaker/Corosync environment and configure MaxScale as a managed cluster resource.

  • Clustering with JBoss mod_cluster – jboss cluster – JBoss application server tutorials – Mod cluster is an http based load balancer which greatly simplify the setup of an http cluster. It ships as a set of modules which need to be installed on the httpd server and a Service Archive Library (.sar) which needs to be deployed on JBoss AS (It is built-in in JBoss AS 6/7).   Compared with the former mod_jk, the new mod_cluster has the great advantage to accept a dynamic configuration of httpd workers. This can be done through an advertise mechanism where all httpd workers communicate lifecycle events (like startup or shutdown) thus leveraging dynamic configuration of nodes.
  • How to configure mod_cluster with JBoss ? « JBoss – Like mod_jk, mod_cluster is also a httpd based load balancer which uses a communication channel to forward requests from the httpd to one of a set of application server nodes. So the question comes Why mod_cluster ? To answer this question we will let you know few advantages of mod_cluster over mod_jk and other httpd-based load balancers.

  • WordPress › HyperDB « WordPress Plugins – HyperDB is a very advanced database class that replaces a few of the WordPress built-in database functions. The main differences are: * HyperDB can be connect to an arbitrary number of database servers, * HyperDB inspects each query to determine the appropriate database.
  • ClusterFoundry Blog Highly-Available and Load-Balanced WordPress Cluster – Part 1 – This article explains on how to setup a load-balanced WordPress cluster in a master-slave configuration. The load balancer(HAProxy) sits in front of 2 or more web server nodes (1 Master and 1 Slave) which has the same contents. HAProxy does not only distribute requests, but also checks the health of the services running on the node. If one of the nodes are down, all requests will be redirected to the remaining nodes.

  • Centralizzare i log mediante Elasticsearch, Logstash e Kibana – Mia mamma usa Linux! – Uno dei principali problemi che si rilevano in fase di debug delle anomalie relative ad applicazioni è la frammentazione delle informazioni. Tanti log, buona parte dei quali inutili, sono sparsi ovunque nelle macchine interessate all’erogazione di questo o quel servizio.
    Tipicamente quando si tratta di servizi ripartiti su più macchine è sempre necessario aprire diverse console all’interno delle quali, per ciascuna macchina, il (o i) file di log vengono aperti, filtrati stampati e via così, sino ad ottenere una situazione degna di Sherlock Holmes, in cui solo consumati ed abili detective riescono a trovare l’indizio che sfugge ai più.

    Esiste però una via migliore per gestire enormi quantità di log in una forma centralizzata, facilmente ricercabile e che usi un’interfaccia gradevole. Si tratta della combinazione di tre software: Elasticsearch, Logstash e Kibana.
