  • AMD Hits Intel Below The Belt In The Datacenter Wallet

    What Intel calls “cloud digestion” as the cause of the massive pullback in spending in its Data Center Group is looking more and more like a case of “Epyc indigestion” for Intel, not for the hyperscalers and cloud builders. And the top brass at Intel should be thanking the heavens for their good luck that capacity for advanced fab processes has been severely constrained at the same time Intel struggled to get its server chip act together. If that had not been the case, AMD might be truly cleaning Intel’s CPU clocks.

    In the first quarter ended in March, AMD was hitting on all cylinders, with its client, server, and game console businesses all up significantly year-on-year as well as up sequentially, delivering a stunning 92.9 percent revenue growth, to $3.45 billion, and an amazing 3.4X increase in net income, to $555 million. All of this good business helped AMD increase its cash hoard by 2.3X to $3.12 billion, which helps cushion the blow on that pending $35 billion acquisition of FPGA maker Xilinx. When you start using “X” instead of “percent” on numbers moving up and to the right, that is always a good sign.

  • Kubernetes configuration patterns, Part 1: Patterns for Kubernetes primitives

    This article is the first in a two-part article series on Kubernetes configuration patterns, which represent ways of configuring Kubernetes applications and controllers. Part 1 introduces simple approaches that use only Kubernetes primitives. These patterns are applicable to any application running on Kubernetes. Part 2 will introduce more advanced patterns. These patterns require you to code against the Kubernetes API when you are developing Kubernetes controllers.

    [...]

    For simplicity, I’ve used only Deployments in the example YAML files. However, the examples should work with other PodSpecables (anything that describes a PodSpec) such as DaemonSets and ReplicaSets. I also omitted fields like image, imagePullPolicy, and others in the example Deployment YAML.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech

The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. Read more

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
