Description
Introducing Kubestone, the operator designed for benchmarking within Kubernetes environments. Kubestone allows users to assess the performance metrics of their Kubernetes setups effectively. It offers a standardized suite of benchmarks to evaluate CPU, disk, network, and application performance. Users can exercise detailed control over Kubernetes scheduling elements, including affinity, anti-affinity, tolerations, storage classes, and node selection. It is straightforward to introduce new benchmarks by developing a fresh controller. The execution of benchmark runs is facilitated through custom resources, utilizing various Kubernetes components such as pods, jobs, deployments, and services. To get started, refer to the quickstart guide which provides instructions on deploying Kubestone and running benchmarks. You can execute benchmarks via Kubestone by creating the necessary custom resources within your cluster. Once the appropriate namespace is created, it can be utilized to submit benchmark requests, and all benchmark executions will be organized within that specific namespace. This streamlined process ensures that you can easily monitor and analyze the performance of your Kubernetes applications.
Description
Failover Clustering in Windows Server (and Azure Local) allows a collection of independent servers to collaborate, enhancing both availability and scalability for clustered roles, which were previously referred to as clustered applications and services. These interconnected nodes utilize a combination of hardware and software solutions, ensuring that if one node encounters a failure, another node seamlessly takes over its responsibilities through an automated failover mechanism. Continuous monitoring of clustered roles ensures that if they cease to function properly, they can be restarted or migrated to uphold uninterrupted service. Additionally, this feature includes support for Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs), which create a cohesive, distributed namespace and enable reliable shared storage access across all nodes, thereby minimizing potential service interruptions. Common applications of Failover Clustering encompass high‑availability file shares, SQL Server instances, and Hyper‑V virtual machines. This functionality is available on Windows Server versions 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, as well as within Azure Local environments, making it a versatile choice for organizations looking to enhance their system resilience. By leveraging Failover Clustering, organizations can ensure their critical applications remain available even in the event of hardware failures.
