Guaranteed porting for a heterogeneous UNIX environment.

Use a componentized build system to automatically port Java™ projects with native extensions on heterogeneous UNIX® platforms. Today, many large-scale Java systems running on UNIX-like platforms require third-party native library support, or you have to develop your own native components. Many utilities and system calls on these platforms do not have corresponding Java wrappers. Constructing a "Write once, run anywhere" Java application under these environments requires maintenance of separate native source sets, and integrating a separate build system for every platform has many shortcomings.more

Fixing Unix/Linux/POSIX Filenames

Traditionally, Unix/Linux/POSIX filenames can be almost any sequence of bytes, and their meaning is unassigned. The only real rules are that "/" is always the directory separator, and that filenames can't contain byte 0 (because this is the terminator). Although this is flexible, this creates many unnecessary problems. In particular, this lack of limitations makes it unnecessarily difficult to write correct programs (enabling many security flaws), makes it impossible to consistently and accurately display filenames, causes portability problems, and confuses users. more ....

Noisy Neighbor Detection with eBPF.

  T he Compute and Performance Engineering teams at Netflix regularly investigate performance issues in our multi-tenant environment. The first step is determining whether the problem originates from the application or the underlying infrastructure. One issue that often complicates this process is the "noisy neighbor" problem. On Titus, our multi-tenant compute platform, a "noisy neighbor" refers to a container or system service that heavily utilizes the server's resources, causing performance degradation in adjacent containers. We usually focus on CPU utilization because it is our workloads’ most frequent source of noisy neighbor issues, read more

Backing up MySQL data.

Backing up files and directories is relatively easy; databases, however, have some special quirks that you need to address. Our examples use MySQL, but the same principles apply to PostgreSQL and other relational databases. This article is excerpted from O'Reilly's recently published book Linux System Administration .
