Fault-Tolerant Container Infrastructures – The Essentials Let’s say you wanted to build a reliable and efficient container-based infrastructure like Google’s. The best way to go is to turn your Linux servers into one fault-tolerant software-based machine. Your first ingredient is a container scheduler like Mesos or Kubernetes. It starts containers and keeps them running – thereby breaking […] READ MORE

Our first target is the technology that is omnipresent in enterprise IT: virtual machine infrastructures. Driven by Amazon’s example, this technology is seeing a refresh in recent years towards […] READ MORE
