Extending SQL Server monitoring with Raspberry PI and Lametric

Mis en avant

First blog of this new year 2021 and I will start with a fancy and How-To Geek topic

In my last blog post, I discussed about monitoring and how it should help to address quickly a situation that is going degrading. Alerts are probably the first way to raise your attention and, in my case, they are often in the form of emails in a dedicated folder. That remains a good thing, at least if you’re not focusing too long in other daily tasks or projects. In work office, I know I would probably better focus on new alerts but as I said previously, telework changed definitely the game.

Introducing SQL Server with Portworx and storage orchestration

Stateful applications like databases need special considerations on K8s world. This is because data persistence is important and we need also something at the storage layer communicating with the container orchestrator to take advantage of its scheduling capabilities. For Stateful applications, StatefulSet may be only part of the solution because it primary focuses on the Pod availability and we have to rely on the application capabilities for data replication stuff. But StatefulSet doesn’t address that of the underlying storage at all. At the moment of this write-up, StatefulSet-based solutions for SQL Server such availability groups are not supported yet on production.
