Linux and Windows operating systems for AlwaysOn

2020-09-01 21:40 NJPA imported from Stackoverflow

I have read that we have the ability to mix Linux and Windows operating systems for AlwaysOn configuration. For example, you can run your primary on Windows OS and use secondary replicas on Linux. Wanted to know what are the major challenges/benefits(in terms of performance, auto scaling, costs, dbs etc) if we have a setup like this and is it advised to setup an environment like this in prod. Please share your feedback on this to help.Thank you in Advance.

  • flutter accessing shared folder/files on windows

    I'm working on a project which requires access to shared folders/files using flutter.

    I am wondering if it is at all possible to have some sort of repo I can interact with solely using OpenSSH/Git for Windows. I cannot for the life of me find documentation over this... Any and all help is appreciated.

  • EC2 Instance with 'This site can’t be reached' error

    I am always getting 'This site can’t be reached' error when trying to access the ip address of my EC2 instance.

    This is happening for all ip addresses (Public IPv4 address, Public IPv4 DNS, Private IPv4 addresses, Private IPv4 DNS) and for all EC2 instances I create. Particularly, I am trying to run WordPress from my EC2 following this guide. All the installation runs fine but still the ip is unavailable.

    Here are some proposed solutions I tried but didn't solve the issue:

    • My inbound and outbound security rules are already allowing ssh (port 22), http (port 80) and https (port 443) from all origins (0.0.0.0/0, ::/0).
    • I disactivated my Windows firewall. Anyway, I can't access from other computers or from my mobile either.
    • The ec2 created is the basic Linux 2 t2.micro (exactly as in the guide) and I have tried reaching the ip from a brand new ec2 instance without WordPress or anything and the same happens. Am I expected to get anything from the ip of a brand new ec2 at all?
    • I can connect with ssh without issues.

    I am a root user under the free tier, is there any impact?

    Would really appreciate if someone could tell where else to look as most solutions on internet point to the list above and none of them solved my case.

  • Is chmod 777 safe for Shiny app hosted on AWS EC2?

    I've hosted a web application (using Shiny, a R package for interactive web applications) on AWS EC2. I've also set up an authentication mechanism on the app with shinymanger(https://datastorm-open.github.io/shinymanager/). This authentication requires reading and writing from a sqlite database (database.sqlite) that stores user information (username, password, etc). In order to create new users in the authentication system, I need "write" permission, so I changed the permissions of the sqlite database with chmod 777

    Screenshot of user permission of sqlite database

    Question: The AWS server is only owned by one other person, but I'm worried that since the web application is hosted on a public IP address, bad people could infiltrate the sensitive data. Is this permission setting safe? If not, how do I change the permission setting so that I can still read, write, and do everything that 777 allows, but safer!

  • Cluster Autoscaler and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler working together

    I have a cluster with Cluster Autoscaler activated and HPA for one of my deployments.

    This is the HPA definition:

    kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: hpa-resource-metrics-cpu 
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1 
    kind: ReplicationController 
    name: hello-hpa-cpu 
  minReplicas: 1 
  maxReplicas: 10 
  metrics:
  - type: Resource
    resource:
      name: cpu
      targetAverageUtilization: 50

    Now in a situation where my cluster is being used very lightly, that means this deployment will only have 1 available replica.

    And since the cluster is not under high usage, it could be the case that the node containing that replica is scheduled for deletion (downscaling).

    In that case, it would make my deployment have a downtime (when the cluster node is deleted, the only replica for the deployment is deleted as well, so it needs to be rescheduled in a new pod). I don't want that to happen (the downtime).

    From this issue: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/48307, it seems that Pod Disruption Budgets are not applicable to deployments with only 1 replica.

    So the only solution to my problem would be to have minReplicas set to 2?

    Or is there something else I could do to prevent this downtime, and still let minReplicas as 1?

  • Autoscaling Greenplum on GKE does not behave in the correct manner

    Good evening, everyone.

    I have installed Greenplum on a GKE cluster which is running fine (following the guide here)

    The problem now is that the autoscaling is not correctly adding pods: it creates the new pods and after 5 seconds they are in a terminated state. I have already created the GKE without the "alpha configuration" as it was specified in another StackOverflow's question.

    No errors are thrown, but i see these in the logs:

    Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot it?

  • Cannot update pip in Linux Mint 18.2

    I'm having great difficulty installing Jupyter Notebook, and it seems updating it might help with the permissions error I keep getting.

    First I attempt to install setuptools using pip install setuptools, as that was the error returned when I tried to update pip: enter image description here

    Then when, as prompted, I attempt to update pip using pip install --upgrade pip, I get the following:

    enter image description here

    That suggests the old version of pip is preventing me from updating pip(!). Where do I go from here?

  • Problem installing nodejs version >= 10 on Linux Mint 19.3, which stubbornly installs nodejs 8.10

    Trying to use https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md to install nodejs in version higher than 10 ( and then npm) on Linux Mint 19.3. It stubbornly installs the 8.10 version.

    Tried fixing it with tip from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/538536/newest-version-of-nodejs-is-not-intalling-in-linux-mint-tina but 1) "check_alt "Linux Mint" "tricia" "Ubuntu" "bionic" is already in the script 2) the result is the same.

  • How to have highly available Moodle in Kubernetes?

    Want to set up highly available Moodle in K8s (on-prem). I'm using Bitnami Moodle with helm charts.

    After a successful Moodle installation, it becomes work. But when a K8s node down, Moodle web page displays/reverts/redirects to the Moodle installation web page. It's like a loop.

    Persistence storage is rook-ceph. Moodle PVC is ReadriteMany where Mysql is ReadWriteOnce.

    The following command was used to deploy Moodle.

    helm install moodle --set global.storageClass=rook-cephfs,replicaCount=3,persistence.accessMode=ReadWriteMany,allowEmptyPassword=false,moodlePassword=Moodle123,mariadb.architecture=replication bitnami/moodle

    Any help on this is appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • High-Availability not working in Hadoop cluster

    I am trying to move my non-HA namenode to HA. After setting up all the configurations for JournalNode by following the Apache Hadoop documentation, I was able to bring the namenodes up. However, the namenodes are crashing immediately and throwing the follwing error.

    ERROR org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode: Failed to start namenode. java.io.IOException: There appears to be a gap in the edit log. We expected txid 43891997, but got txid 45321534.

    I tried to recover the edit logs, initialize the shared edits etc., but nothing works. I am not sure how to fix this problem without formatting namenode since I do not want to loose any data.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanking in advance.

  • Apache Kafka Consume from Slave/ISR node

    I understand the concept of master/slave and data replication in Kafka, but i don't understand why consumers and producers will always be routed to a master node when writing/reading from a partition instead of being able to read from any ISR (in-sync replica)/slave.

    The way i think about it, if all consumers are redirected to one single master node, then more hardware is required to handle read/write operations from large consumer groups/producers.

    Is it possible to read and write in slave nodes or the consumers/producers will always reach out to the master node of that partition?
