A lot of times I've seen questions about how this works when you have multiple nodes or a CDN, it can be quite tricky in theory if you have random IPs or several IPs. The way certbot works at least for non-DNS challenges is that it will hit a random server that it resolves to, you have no control over which one it hits. If certbot hits node 1 at first to tell it to create the well-known file, then checks node 2 or any other node, you will find auhorization fails.........

If you run nginx behind a CDN, you will by default see the proxy/CDNIPinstead of the real client. Edit the global http { part of nginx.conf and add this: # 1. Specify the IP address of your trusted proxy/load balancer set_real_ip_from 1.2.3.4; set_real_ip_from 5.2.3.4; # 2. Specify which header contains the real client IP real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For;........

After looking at several deployments of VMWare, we had one deployment where the company enabled balloon mode which is essentially a way to overcommit memory the hostnode(s) don't have. Let's say you have put your database into memory or use a cached service in Apache or haproxy/nginx. VMWare will start taking some portions of these and at some point it corrupts things and the application running will either crash, malfunction or segfault. Another factor is that OOMwill be........

Kubernetes Easy Beginners Tutorial/Architecture Guide Kubernetes is known as container orchestration and we should start at explaining the container part of it. A Container is what runs the actual application and based on an Image, and are more comparable to something like an LXC Container, Virtuozzo/OpenVZ using the Linux Kernel Namespaces feature.

You can find it for free at http://nginx.org/ I find nginx is simpler to setup than pound (it's not hard but I found it unintuitive and annoying), it seemed to make some basic setups overly complicated with the config file syntax. nginx on the other hand is perfectly suited in everyway, it is even simpler to setup and seems to be the most stable and most efficient any load balancer. I would go as far as to say that a good nginx setup is more relia........
