Servers: Photon OS, PiCluster and More
-
What is Photon OS, and why would I use it in my data center?
The Photon OS was designed to provide a lightweight, open source Linux container host runtime optimized for VMware platforms, including vSphere 5.5, vSphere 6, vCloud Air, VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation Pro. In effect, vSphere users can employ Photon to use containers most efficiently in VMware environments. The Photon OS runtime is compatible with other container formats, including Docker, Rkt and Garden runtimes. For example, Photon allows you to migrate and run containers already developed and deployed on Docker platforms in vSphere environments.

PiCluster v2.0 brings better container management for Docker deployments
Linux Toys has announced PiCluster 2.0. The new version of the open source container management tool is written in Node.js and is designed to deliver an upgraded experience through cleaner CSS and JQuery dialogue windows.
The new version of PiCluster brings automatic container failover to different hosts. It fixes reported errors in npm build dependency as well as utilises enhancements on the CSS front to deliver a fresh look to the web console of the tool. Additionally, users can now deploy container management without Internet access by using the web server to deliver required libraries.

Site Reliability Engineer: Don’t fall victim to the bias blind spot
To ensure websites and applications deliver consistently excellent speed and availability, some organizations are adopting Google’s Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) model. In this model, a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) – usually someone with both development and IT Ops experience – institutes clear-cut metrics to determine when a website or application is production-ready from a user performance perspective. This helps reduce friction that often exists between the “dev” and “ops” sides of organizations. More specifically, metrics can eliminate the conflict between developers’ desire to “Ship it!” and operations desire to not be paged when they are on-call. If performance thresholds aren’t met, releases cannot move forward.

OPNFV’s role in NFV testing and the road to 5G
OPNFV has emerged as the go-to platform for testing and interoperability assurance for NFV and its many components, a role that is set to becoming more important as the industry transitions towards 5G. As Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Prodip Sen points out, 5G standardisation is about much more than just faster speeds, but also a key enabler of unprecedented features such as network slicing, which ultimately rely on NFV.
