Lambdas are a nice recent addition to C++. They are cool, they are hip, and they tend to be overused and misused, e.g. as replacement for normal functions.

He’s barely been in office for a month, but already Donald Trump has given the world a fearsome amount of wild, delirious quotes. They’re sentences that not even the best satirical writer could come up with—and weirdly enough, they make for uncomfortably believable quotes for Marvel’s premiere fascist supervillain.

Apache Kafka is fast becoming the preferred messaging infrastructure for dealing with contemporary, data-centric workloads such as Internet of Things, gaming, and online advertising. The ability to ingest data at a lightening speed makes it an ideal choice for building complex data processing pipelines. In a previous article, we discussed how Kafka acts as the gateway…

Jenkins is a great piece of software (ok, it has problems but I couldn’t imagine software development without it). But one of the challenges with maintaining a Jenkins cluster is capacity management. It’s fairly typical to start out with a single master instance. Over time the number and size of Jenkins jobs increases placing more and more demand on the server. The first fix people apply when this happens is to vertically scale the Jenkins server (In fact I recently interviewed for a position and was told their Jenkins server hardware had 40 cores and 512GB of RAM). Some of the problems with scaling vertically include: Cost per unit of scale increases with the size of the hardware. Complex software configuration required to support a large variety of job types. Greater risk of ‘noisy neighbours’ impacting: job performance. server stability. The alternatives to vertically scaling the Jenkins master are to: Deploy multiple Jenkins masters allocated: per environment. per organisational unit. per product line. Deploy statically provisioned Jenkins slaves. Deploy dynamicaly provisioned Jenkins slaves. Deploy multiple Jenkins masters with statically or dynamically provisioned Jenkins slaves. There are a few things to consider when choosing how to scale your Jenkins infrastructure. If you choose to deploy multiple master you should have an efficient and effective way to manage them. At a minimum, you should use configuration management or orchestration tooling to manage the lifecycle of the instances themselves. You should also consider similar for managing plugins, jobs etc. In the past I have had great success using tools like Chef and Job DSL to manage build infrastructure. If you choose to use slaves, consider if you should provision bloated slaves capable of performing any build Job or if you should provision specialized slaves.

After creating your new Debian/Ubuntu instance on your Linode manager console follow following steps. Instance update and docker install 1.) To upgrade your Linux instance with the newest relevant updates, to get our instance up to date (in our case running Ubuntu) . apt-get upgrade apt-get update 2.) There is an issue with Linode and Docker with dependancies, therefore following command needs to be run as well […]
