Currently the Red Hat Forum 2019 in Zürich is ongoing and people just finished lunch before the more technical sessions are starting. As expected a lot is around OpenShift 4 and automation with Ansible. As dbi is a Red Hat advanced business partner we took the opportunity to be present with a booth for getting in touch with our existing…
Before we begin: This is in no way production ready, as the title states. In a production setup you would put the internal registry on a persistent storage, you would probably have more than one master node and you would probably have more than on compute node. Security is not covered at all here. This post is intended to quickly…
Today (actually right now) we are a proud sponsor of the Red Hat Forum Switzerland 2019 in Geneva.

Currently we begin to see customer adopting containerization for SQL Server databases (mainly driven by CI/CD and DevOps trends). A lot of them are using RedHat OpenShift as container management platform. From my side, I didn’t want to setup a complete OpenShift infrastructure on my lab to test only my SQL Server pod deployment on such infrastructure. I rather installed…
Yes, sounds strange, but exactly this is what we faced today. In the end it is clear and not strange anymore but for a moment we really thought we are hitting a bug in the operating system, which was RedHat 7.4.
