Post category:Cloud Home Automation Life hack Technology Tutorial

In this post, I’ll guide you through setting up a solution to manage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) instances directly from Home Assistant using HTTP calls. By combining the power of the oci CLI and a Node.js server, you’ll be able to start, stop, and monitor your OCI instances effortlessly. Requirements Before starting, ensure you have the following: Home Assistant installed and running. A server with Node.js and OCI CLI installed. OCI CLI configured with the appropriate credentials. Your instance's OCID…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdlIhfU2VAU In this video (English subtitled), I demonstrate the aggregate performance of a 4-node Lustre cluster (3 OSS + 1 MDS/MGS) and the block volumes provided by Oracle OCI. Of course, this is a functionality test and not a production POC. In addition to understanding and observing the aggregate performance that only 3 active OSS nodes can deliver, I wanted to test 2 failover systems between OSS1 and OSS2 nodes (OSS3 is unpaired and works without failover). 1 - The…

In today’s high-performance computing (HPC) landscape, storage solutions that offer speed, scalability, and reliability are essential. Lustre, an open-source parallel file system, is a popular choice for HPC environments due to its capacity to handle large datasets and intensive workloads. When deploying Lustre on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), achieving an optimized design that balances performance with cost-efficiency requires careful planning. Let's explore key Lustre infrastructure design patterns tailored for OCI, focusing on strategies to meet diverse storage needs and performance…
