Linux is renowned for its versatility, and its networking capabilities are no exception. But just like a high-performance car, tweaking some settings can unlock its true potential. This article delves into methods for tuning your Linux system to become a networking champion. Understanding the Landscape: Assess Your Needs Before diving into specifics, it’s crucial to
Imagine a busy highway. Every car leaving your house needs to exit, come to a complete stop, and then re-enter the highway to visit each store. This would be incredibly inefficient, right? HTTP requests work similarly by default, creating a new connection for each request. This can overwhelm your server on a large scale because
In one of my organizations, most of our Redis infrastructure runs on Kubernetes. if you know about the Redis cluster, you can connect to shards using the IP of the machines. Since we are running Redis in statefulsets, we have exposed the IPs of the pods inside our infrastructure. Kubernetes cluster is EKS and the
In our previous interview-related question we talked about VPC design, logging system design, monitoring system design, page fault, etc. In this article, we are going to talk about how to calculate how many usage IPs are there in a /24 CIDR. What is a CIDR? CIDR stands for classless inter-domain routing. This is a set
Hi, in our recent few articles we are talking about basic Kubernetes and we talked about how Kube proxy works, what is a control plane, what is an etcd, and what are node components of Kubernetes. If you missed the articles you can find them below. In this article, we are going to look into
I get a lot of questions regarding what should one learn to progress in a career or start a career in this domain. In this article we will talk about what you should learn for a long-term perspective in this field. Linux Yes, this is very important and is still evolving. Keeping a good grip
Network issues are the most common tasks that you have to debug if you involved in the setup of infrastructure and day-to-day operations. In this article, we will see how we can approach this problem. Let’s say we have few boxes that need to connect to a third-party API that is outside of the network,
In this article, we are going to look into this question. The intent of this question is to find out if you are aware of how you can design your network infra. They want to hear from you about private traffic, public traffic, how the traffic will go out, etc. Let’s start and have a
In this article, we will talk about how traceroute works using ICMP. ICMP stands for Internet Control Message Protocol. This is used in the network layer just above the IP because ICMP messages are also encapsulated in IP packets. Now let’s have a look at how traceroute works using ICMP. When you type traceroute destination
In recent articles, we talked about containers a lot like the below articles. In this article also we are going to continue the same trend and talk about how docker networking works. To understand very basic docker networking we need some knowledge beforehand. Lets read about namespaces in linux, veth pair and bridge. Namespaces: Namespaces
