Have you ever wanted to have more control over your clients’ hosting environment? Ever thought about bundling hosting with your current service offering? Or offering a turnkey solution? In this workshop, we will review best practices to start, manage, and optimize a reseller hosting environment. Even if you are not interested in becoming a reseller, this workshop will give you the basics on how to set up a CMS, blog or forum application on a new hosting plan from scratch. While we will be using the Nexcess hosting environment and the InterWorx control panel, the topics and methodologies are host agnostic - everything you will learn is applicable (to a certain degree) on any hosting provider or control panel.
URP? Excuse You! The Three Kafka Metrics You Need to KnowTodd Palino
What do you really know about how to monitor a Kafka cluster for problems? Is your most reliable monitoring your users telling you there’s something broken? Are you capturing more metrics than the actual data being produced? Sure, we all know how to monitor disk and network, but when it comes to the state of the brokers, many of us are still unsure of which metrics we should be watching, and what their patterns mean for the state of the cluster. Kafka has hundreds of measurements, from the high-level numbers that are often meaningless to the per-partition metrics that stack up by the thousands as our data grows.
We will thoroughly explore three key monitoring concepts in the broker, that will leave you an expert in identifying problems with the least amount of pain:
Under-replicated Partitions: The mother of all metrics
Request Latencies: Why your users complain
Thread pool utilization: How could 80% be a problem?
We will also discuss the necessity of availability monitoring and how to use it to get a true picture of what your users see, before they come beating down your door!

Transactional Streaming: If you can compute it, you can probably stream it.jhugg
This document discusses transactional stream processing and operational state. It argues that integrating state management and stream processing within the same transactional system avoids issues caused by independent failures of separate systems and reduces the need for "glue code". It provides examples of how transactional stream processing can enable features like correlation, deduplication, and aggregation in a reliable way. Key aspects that are important for operational workloads like counting, accounting, and statistics are ensuring idempotence and implementing operations atomically within transactions.

- Developers can use Platform Cache to cache query results, calculations, and other transient data to improve application speed and reduce load on databases.
- Platform Cache is a new feature that allows developers to store and access data in a distributed cache across an organization. It provides a simple key-value programming model to store and retrieve data.
- The cache can be used for data that is expensive to retrieve or calculate and likely to be reused, to improve application performance and development. However, cache data may not always be available so applications need to handle cache misses.
- There are limits on cache size and data that must be considered to avoid impacting system resources. Organizations can purchase additional cache space in increments as needed. The cache should be logically partitioned and non-durable data should not be relied on as a primary store.
We start by looking at some of the common criteria that people base their hosting package choice on then take a look at different types of hosting packages you can use to host your WordPress site on covering pros and cons for each.

All tests performed from a different data center than servers tested.

All used an EE install with the Agile Records theme.
Nothing was touched within EE after installation.
Tests were ran for 60 seconds using sitemap URLs.
Three tests were performed for 25, 50, and 100 concurrent users.

39. Lets Install EE!
• Download files.
– http://download.peers.nextmp.net/ExpressionEngine2.9.3.zip
• Upload the files.
– Or wget on server if you are more comfortable.
• Navigate to domain.tld/admin.php
– You still have your database user and password right?
– Fill out install form
– Remove system/installer .
40.
41. Have you seen our white paper?
• Things have changed since this was published.
– These benchmarks were with PHP 5.3, we recommend PHP 5.4 for performance as
well as a smaller memory foot print.
– EE 2.8+ now supports memory based caching natively.
42. Please download the white paper to review it at the following location.
http://download.peers.nextmp.net/Nexcess-Best-Practices-For-
ExpressionEngine-v12.pdf
43. Security is always a concern
• Please do not use the same password for everything!
– Use a password management tool to achieve this.
• File permissions are very important especially in a shared hosted environment!
– Others clients could potentially read or write to your files or directories.
• EE makes it fairly easy to add additional security.
– Easy to change or move system folder.
– Easy to change admin URL.
45. These are most often represented as a three digit number
NUMBER OWNER GROUP OTHER
700 RWX - - - - - -
770 RWX RWX - - -
777 RWX RWX RWX
A number 0-7 in each of these spots impacts each groups permissions.
666 - Everyone can read and write BAD
777 - Everyone has full control BAD
000 - No one has any access
47. OCTAL READ WRITE EXECUTE
7 R W X
6 R W -
5 R - X
4 R - -
3 - W X
2 - W -
1 - - X
0 - - -
48. The best permissions vary by hosting environment
The following may not work for every server or even take down your site
Contact your host for suggestions!
49. Permissions Hardening
You do not want other people reading sensitive files or modifying your site files.
Run the following commands from within your webroot
50. Directories
This will allow you full access and let others see a list of files.
find . -type d -exec chmod 711 {} ;
51. Files
This will allow you to read and write, and allow the webserver and others to read
your files.
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;
52. PHP Files
You may not want others reading your PHP files
They may contain sensitive information.
find . -type f -name “*.php” -exec chmod 600 {} ;
53. Moving some things around
• Rename your admin.
– Edit system/expressionengine/config/config.php
• $config['cp_url'] = “http://domain.tld/yourchoice.php”;
• Rename admin.php to chosen name
• Moving your system directory.
– Edit the following in index.php and admin.php
• $system_path = ‘./newsecurename';
• Rename system/ to reflect the new name.
54. Performance Concerns
As we have seen and learned about with the white paper a properly configured
environment is vital to a site’s performance.
There are some simple steps that can be taken to help with performance outside
of the environmental aspects however.
55. • Turn on GZIP compression in EE.
• Ensure caches are enabled.
– Increase number of cacheable URIs.
– Use a memory based solution if available.
• Disable unnecessary add-ons.
• Turn off tracking.
– EE has a great feature to suspend this with heavy traffic automatically.
56. • Enable template caching.
– If pages are very dynamic tag caching may be more suitable.
• Enable dynamic channel query caching.
– MySQL query cache may be more effective.
– Enable this feature only if you do not use future entries, expiring entries, or random
entries.
• Convert database tables to InnoDB.
– This can help a high traffic site significantly.
– Search tables cannot be converted in MySQL versions prior to 5.6.
57. Each site is different, some changes that may help one site a great deal may
have little or no impact on your particular site.
It is best to test any optimizations to determine if they are truly beneficial to your
site as well as to rule out any unintended consequences.

• Is there anything you wish was covered that wasn't?
• What would you like to see out of a hosting company?
