Kubernetes: brave new world, same old problems
So I was tearing my hair out wondering why the code I was building for our product in Kubernetes wasn't working. And then I had an epiphany.

Why I think NHS hospitals urgently need to modernize their IT architecture if they are to successfully adapt to variable operating models, meet patient demand, and improve treatment options for women with breast cancer.
The tailored HyperBalance load balancer will optimize Cloudian's object storage applications, allowing them to seamlessly deliver the high availability their customers demand.
You don't need me to tell you that Postman is an API platform used for building and using APIs, designed to make your life a whole lot easier!
Talking about the cloud and actually moving to the cloud are two very different things.
If you want safe, easy-to-use object storage software then the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) is it. But why, and how, can you optimize this solution with load balancing?
Gartner predicts that by 2025 almost two-thirds of spending on application software will have shifted to the cloud, driven by the demand for integration capabilities, agile work processes, and interchangeable architecture.
We'd all rather prevent a disaster than have to live with the consequences of one.
We're going to have a look at setting up a Layer 7 VIP, which will connect back to our MinIO servers.
The use case for object storage in hospitals, and why it needs a dedicated load balancing solution.
Growing customer demands are forcing technology providers to reconsider their approach to high availability and scalability.
Before we can connect to the loadbalancer appliance using SSH, we first need to allow this action through the Appliance Security Options via Local Configuration and then, Security.
As with the majority of Loadbalancer.org's projects in the Middle East, the goal of this project was to help a group of hospitals achieve highly available medical imaging systems.
Why do you need TWO load balancers?
Sometimes, we need to pass unusually large HTTP requests through our WAF stack.
The focus will very much be on re-living all that's happened to the royal family in those 70 years. But that means digging deep into the media archives...
A while ago I was asked if it would be possible to apply some general rate limiting in HAProxy and the WAF, in order to help prevent DOS-style attacks on a customer's servers.
F5 recently announced a critical security vulnerability, allowing an attacker to bypass its iControl REST authentication, and execute commands such as creating or deleting files and disabling services.
On May 11th 2022, I was listening to the awesome Chris Moyles Show, on Radio when a site they were using crashed while they were on air.
Email notifications are a great way of alerting you to any changes or issues within your load balancer or high availability cluster.
The ever-growing complexity of IT products introduces more and more variables into the equation - and ultimately makes it more likely that something can go wrong.
It's a fair question, right? Let's take away the strain of SSL terminations from our application servers and let the load balancers deal with it. After all, why would we want to bog down our nifty application with network-level considerations?
Load balancing? Say what?! Got 2 mins to get your head around the concept? Your time starts....now!
It is understandable that SysAdmins, DevOps, and most in the IT and Security Departments involved want to ensure all load balancers are fully patched and protected, given that our product plays an important role in their topology.
The only real reason for separate network ports is physical redundancy. Because the other primary reason (security segregation) can be easily implemented using VLANs.
