Web-Server Load Balancing, a process that distributes the load of various incoming requests to several servers (e.g. using a gateway that functions as a dispatcher), in an effort to balance the load among these servers in an optimal way. This thesis inspects the various methods and strategies of server load balancing, clearly identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy. We present a working, high performance implementation of the content-aware traffic redirection strategy, using the most well known scheduling algorithms. We also present the results of testing the effectiveness of the implementation and the scheduling algorithms in several scenarios. Finally, based on our work, we concluded that what seem to be the best scheduling algorithms in the case of identical requests are the least CPU usage and the weighted random scheduling algorithms which have the best response time and the best throughput. While in the case of non-identical requests the weighted round robin and the least CPU usage have the least response time and the greatest throughput.

In order to optimize server performance for whatsoever reason, you need to start by monitoring the server. In most cases, before server monitoring commences, it is common practice to establish baseline performance metrics for the specific server.
In order to optimize server performance for whatsoever reason, you need to start by monitoring the server. In most cases, before server monitoring commences, it is common practice to establish baseline performance metrics for the specific server. Baseline performance metrics are established by measuring the performance of a particular server under various conditions, at different times of the day, week, and month, and when the hardware and software configuration changes. Based on the baseline metrics which you define for the server, you would need to optimize the server when performance of the server by far exceeds your baseline metrics.

Network Setup Guide: Deploying Your Cloudian HyperStore Hybrid Storage ServiceCloudian
This document is to help a new user set up the network when deploying a 3-node Cloudian storage cluster in your data center for use with the Cloudian HyperStore Hybrid Cloud Service from AWS Marketplace.
Getting Started
This guide will help you deploy a Cloudtenna DirectShare virtual appliance (VA) using VMware ESXi.
Assumptions
• It is assumed that the reader has a working knowledge of VMware vSphere system administration,
Microsoft® Windows® desktop and server administration, SAN network design, basic Ubuntu Linux
commands and basic SAN storage operations.
• This is not a complete “how to” guide. Step by step setup is covered in part, examples of screen shots
and settings should be sufficient for the reader to apply the right changes to implement the steps outlined
in this guide.
Limitations and Other Considerations
External File Sharing and Collaboration can be setup in multiple different fashions. This solution guide will
address a specific scenario and how to build around it.
For information on how to setup a NON-PRODUCTION Windows Server 2012R2 demo environment in
conjunction with a DirectShare virtual appliance, download the “How to setup a Fresh Windows Server
for a DirectShare EasyDemo” at https://channel.ctna.co/downloads/ .
CLOUDTENNA DIRECTSHARE QUICK-START GUIDE 4
DirectShare Virtual Appliance Sizing
Optimal performance of the DirectShare VA (Virtual Appliance) is dependent on several factors. Sizing of
the VA is determined by number of concurrent users accessing files at max load.
Production sizing of compute resources should be determined by monitoring of the VA during initial usage
and onboarding of users. Although system administrators are accustomed to this best practice, more
frequent checks of resource utilization are recommended, as each environment has different success criteria
and usage, activity varies throughout different times of day, days of week, and seasonal demands on the
network may vary.
A deescalating resource monitoring check is recommended similar to this example:
Day 1+: Once every few until all users are on boarded and have successfully connected at least once.
Day 2: Twice daily.
Day 3 - 7: Once daily.
Day 8+: Notifications configured to alert administrators at 80% of vCPU and/or RAM reached.
Minimum VA resources:
• 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 40 GB local volume (few users with limited file transfer requests).
• < 25 concurrent file transfers
Medium VA resources:
• 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB local volume (light file transfers evenly throughout the day).
• < 75 concurrent file transfers
Large VA resources:
• 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 40 GB local volume (increased file transfers at different peak times of day).
• < 150 concurrent file transfers
Maximum VA sizing:
• 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 40 GB local volume (heavy concurrent file transfers all day long).
• <= 300 concurrent file transfers
The above-recommended resource allocations are for a single DirectShare VA. Local volume size
of 40 GB may be increased to accommodate longer audit log retention requirements, but not
required for performance.

Building and Scaling a WebSockets Pubsub SystemKapil Reddy
Talk about how we built and maintained a WebSockets platform on AWS infra.
You can will learn insights about,
* How to build and evovle a WebSockets platform on AWS
* How we made the platform more resilient to failures known and unknown
* How we saved costs by using right strategy for auto-scaling and load balancing
* How to monitor a WebSockets platform
What aspects must a developer be aware of when a Web Services will be run in clustered environment such as a server farm?
Do Web Services implementations need to be \"cluster aware\", or can this be handled transparently by the runtime platform?
We revisit the subject of why keeping Web Services implementations as stateless as possible really helps in these circumstances, and the effect of using session-based facilities on scalability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Do you get too many visitors on the website, getting maximum hits on your site may crash your
site, your site may get stuck or it may go through a downtime? How to avoid such instances?
Configuring a load balancer to your website can sort your problem. This load balancer device will
help in distributing networks across numbers of servers. These devices are used to maximize the
reliability and capacity of the network. The overall performance of the network is increased as
this load balancer decreases the load on the servers associated with the network.
Load Balancing Algorithms.
There are types of load balancing algorithms which provide different benefits.
• Round robin: It refers to continue rotating the list of server that is attached to it. When a request
is received by the virtual server, it assigns the connection sequentially.
• Least connections: In this method, the virtual server is configured to use the lowest connections
• Custom load: In this method, the load balancer chooses the server with the lowest load before
distributing the network the load balancer checks where are the lowest transactions going on.
• The least Bandwidth: Load balancer device select the server which currently has lest amount of
traffic measured in MBPS.
3. • Weighted round robin: It is a simple round robin load balancing method where each server
there are given a static numerical weighting. The request is sent to those servers which have
high ratings.
• Source IP hash: A unique hash key is generated by combining client and server’s IP address.
A particular server is allocated using this hash key. As the key can be regenerated if the session
is broken this method of load balancing can ensure that the client request is directed to the same
server that it was using previously. This is useful if it’s important that a client should connect to a
session that is still active after a disconnection. For example, to retain items in a shopping cart
between sessions.
Load balancer configuration requirement:
1. Windows or Linux servers.
2. Virtual NIC adapter
3.Hardware or Software load balancer.
4. Configuration of Virtual NIC on windows server:
1-Disable or allow rules the Windows firewall. (To Enable traffic to the loopback adapter)
2-Install the loopback adapter.
3-Configure the loopback adapter. In particular, stop the loopback adapter from responding to ARP
requests.
4-Loopback adapter has the same IP address as the VIP address.
5-Make the Windows networking stack use the weak host model.
6-If you are using IIS, add the loopback adapter to your site bindings.
1. Disable the Windows firewall.
For Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012, you need to disable the built-in
firewall or manually change the rules to enable traffic to and from the loopback adapter. By default,
the Windows firewall blocks all connections to the loopback adapter.
2. Install the loopback adapter.
5. For Windows Server 2008/2012 or Windows Server 2008/2012 R2, follow these instructions to
install a loopback adapter on the server:
1. Open Device Manager. On the Start menu, click Run… and type devmgmt.msc at the prompt.
2. Right-click on the server name and click Add legacy hardware.
3. When prompted by the wizard, choose to install the hardware that I manually select from a list
(Advanced).
4. Find Network Adapter in the list and click next.
5. From the listed manufacturers select Microsoft and then Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
6. This will add a new network interface to your server.
3. Configure the loopback adapter.
After the loopback adapter is installed, follow these steps to configure it:
1. In Control Panel, double-click Network and Dial-up Connections.
2. Right-click the newly installed loopback adapter and click Properties.
3. Click to clear the Client for Microsoft Networks check box.
6. 4. Click to clear the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks check box.
5. Click TCP/IP properties.
6. Enter the VIP address and the subnet mask.
7. Click Advanced.
8. Change the Interface Metric to 254. This stops the adapter from responding to ARP requests.
9. Click OK.
4. Make the Windows networking stack use the weak host model.
For Windows Server 2008/2012 or Windows Server 2008/2012 R2, this step tells you how to
make the Windows networking stack use the weak host model
Now, to determine the interface ID for both the loopback adapter and the main NIC on the server
1. Open a command prompt and type.
2. netsh interface ipv4 show interface
Note the IDX for both the main network interface and the loopback adapter you created.
If you have not changed the interface names for this server then usually the main NIC will display
as Local Area Connection and the loopback adapter will be named Local Area Connection
7. An entry will be displayed that includes the IDX numbers for both your loopback adapter and your
Internet-facing NIC. For each of these adapters enter these three commands:
1. netsh interface ipv4 set interface <IDX number for Server NIC> weakhostreceive=enabled
2. netsh interface ipv4 set interface <IDX number for loopback> weakhostreceive=enabled
3. netsh interface ipv4 set interface <IDX number for loopback> weakhostsend=enabled.
Configuration of virtual NIC on Linux servers.
To configure virtual IP on linux server we have to run below-mentioned command.
Where XX.XX.XX.XX is the virtual IP and XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the subnet mask.
ifconfig lo:0 XX.XX.XX.XX netmask XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX up
In order to add virtual IP permanently follow the steps mentioned below.
Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo: 10
Add Below mentioned parameters.
DEVICE=lo: 10
IPADDR=XX.XX.XX.XX
NETMASK=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
NETWORK=XX.XX.XX.0
8. BROADCAST=XX.XX.XX.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=lo10
Restart network service.
Hardware Load balancer and software load balancer
Hardware load balancer :
A hardware load balancer is a device that directs computers to individual servers in a network on
the basis of server performance, server processor utilization, number of connections to the
servers. Hardware load balancer device can decrease the chances of submerging a particular
server and optimize the bandwidth of each computer or terminal. It also decreases the network
downtime, optimizes traffic prioritization, can provide with an end to end application monitoring
and user authentication. There are several load balancers devices available in the market like
foundry, F5, Cisco, Citrix.
,
9. Software load balancer:
Software load balancers are categorized into two parts that are installable load balancers and
Load balancer as a service (LBaaS). This types of load balancer must be installed, configured
and well managed. Some example of load balancer software is Varnish, HAproxy, Nginx. When it
is about installation there is HA proxy. It is a TCP and HTTP based load balancer which can be
suitable for high traffic. Software-defined load balancers not easy to provision but there are
scalable, programmable and reliable.
Web Werks delivers best load balancing solutions mainly website who deals with High traffic.
Majority of high traffic website rely on Web Werks to deliver content reliably securely and fast.
A software-based load balancer is costs less as compared to hardware-based load balancer with
similar abilities. Choosing Web Werks for load balancer service it increases performance,
reliability, and efficiency of your website and expands both customer’s satisfaction and returns on
IT investment.
