Full Guide to Linux Disk IO Monitoring, Alerting and Tuning

Feb 5, 2025 By Sematext In Sematext
Disk IO (Input/Output) is a core aspect of system performance. Whether you’re managing a database, a web application, or a cloud server, how efficiently your system reads and writes data affects everything from response times to stability. Unlike high CPU usage or memory bottlenecks that often manifest immediately, disk IO issues tend to creep up silently—until they slow down critical processes.

How to Stop Memory Leaks Before they Crash Your Linux System

Feb 5, 2025 By Sematext In Sematext
Imagine you’ve got a leaky faucet in your kitchen. At first, it’s just a drip here and there—annoying, sure, but not enough to ruin your day. But leave it unchecked, and soon that drip turns into a steady trickle. Your water bill skyrockets, the sink overflows, and before you know it, you’re ankle-deep in chaos. Now, replace that faucet with a Linux system, and you’ve got a memory leak.

The role of FIPS 140-3 in the latest FedRAMP guidance

Feb 4, 2025 By Henry Coggill In Canonical
There’s good news in the US federal compliance space. The latest FedRAMP policy on the use of cryptographic modules relaxes some of the past restrictions that prevented organizations from applying critical security updates. There has long been a tension between the requirements for strictly certified FIPS crypto modules and the need to keep software patched and up to date with the latest security vulnerability fixes.

How to reduce data storage costs by up to 50% with Ceph

Feb 3, 2025 By Philip Williams In Canonical
In our last blog post we talked about how you can use Intel QAT with Canonical Ceph, today we’ll cover why this technology is important from a business perspective – in other words, we’re talking data storage costs. Retaining and protecting data has an inherent cost based on the underlying architecture of the system used to store it.

How to utilize CPU offloads to increase storage efficiency

Jan 27, 2025 By Philip Williams In Canonical
When storing large amounts of data, the cost ($) to store each gigabyte (GB) is the typical measure used to gauge the efficiency of the storage system. The biggest driver of storage cost is the protection method used. It is common to protect data by either having multiple replicas within the storage system or by using erasure coding to create data chunks and parity chunks to reduce the raw storage consumed, albeit at the cost of higher CPU utilisation.
