Initial Configuration of Windows Server 2025 After Installation Completing a fresh installation of Windows Server 2025 is only the first step. Before you can safely place a server into production, a series of critical configuration tasks must be completed: setting a meaningful hostname, assigning a static IP address, enabling remote access, hardening the firewall, synchronising […]
How to Set Up Pacemaker and Corosync for High Availability on RHEL 7 High availability (HA) clustering prevents individual server failures from causing service outages by automatically detecting node failures and restarting workloads on surviving nodes. On RHEL 7, the standard HA stack is built from three components: Corosync, which provides reliable cluster messaging and […]
How to Configure Bridge Networking on RHEL 7 A network bridge is a Layer 2 virtual switch that connects multiple network interfaces, allowing them to share a single network segment. On RHEL 7, bridge networking is essential for virtualization with KVM — virtual machine interfaces are typically attached to a bridge so VMs appear as […]
How to Configure LVM on RHEL 7 Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is one of the most powerful storage management tools available on Linux. Unlike traditional partitioning, LVM introduces an abstraction layer between physical storage devices and the file systems that use them, enabling administrators to resize volumes online, create snapshots for consistent backups, and pool […]
Introduction How to Set Up Bhyve Virtualization on FreeBSD 15 is a core administration task for any FreeBSD 15 server operator. FreeBSD 15 ships with the 15.0-RELEASE kernel, ZFS as the default root filesystem, Capsicum capability sandboxing improvements, and an updated ports tree. Unlike Linux distributions, FreeBSD uses rc(8) for service management, pf for packet […]
How to Install Packer for Machine Image Automation on RHEL 7 Packer, developed by HashiCorp, is an open-source tool that enables you to create identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. Whether you are building AMIs for AWS, OVA files for VMware, or disk images for on-premises hypervisors, Packer automates the […]
How to Set Up Vagrant and VirtualBox on RHEL 7 Vagrant is an open-source tool by HashiCorp that automates the creation, configuration, and management of virtualized development environments. Combined with VirtualBox as a hypervisor backend, Vagrant allows developers and operations engineers on RHEL 7 to spin up reproducible Linux (or Windows) virtual machines with a […]
How to Use Terraform to Provision Infrastructure on RHEL 7 Once Terraform is installed, the real power comes from writing complete, production-grade infrastructure configurations. A single Terraform project can define an entire cloud environment — VPC networking, subnets, security groups, EC2 instances, load balancers, and databases — all in version-controlled code that can be reviewed, […]
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging allows a single physical network interface to carry traffic for multiple logically isolated networks by inserting a 4-byte VLAN tag into Ethernet frames. This is essential in virtualization environments, network segmentation architectures, and anywhere a single uplink must serve multiple subnets. On RHEL 8, NetworkManager handles 802.1Q VLAN interfaces natively through […]
Pacemaker and Corosync together form the de facto high-availability (HA) cluster stack for Linux. Corosync provides the cluster messaging and quorum layer, while Pacemaker manages resources — ensuring that services like virtual IP addresses and web servers start, stop, and migrate between nodes according to defined constraints. On RHEL 8, both packages are available through […]
