Defragment File according the file types In Microsoft windows.

The built-in disk defragmenter in Windows can’t selectively defragment individual files or folders. To do that, a cool utility named Contig is available for free from Microsoft Sysinternals team. It can defragment specified files and folders, a bunch of file types and thereby optimize disk space.
Download it from here.
Using it is simple, specify the path which contains specific files that need to be defragmented. For example, to defragment all the files in the folder named “music”, type :
contig -s d:\music\*.*
Using contig to defragment files in a specific folder
The -s parameter instructs contig to perform recursive processing of all the subdirectories present in the given path.
Once the defragmentation process is over, a summary is displayed regarding the same.
Summary of results once Contig is run
To defragment files of only a specific extension say .avi in a folder named videos, type :
contig -s d:\videos\*.avi
The above will only look for files with .avi extension and defragment them. Nice and effective.
A very useful tool that saves time and defragments particular files.
Cheers.

LINUX CONTAINERS

LINUX CONTAINERS What is Linux Container:  Linux containers have different approach than the Virtualization technology. Simply we can say this is OS level Virtualization, which means all containers run on top of one linux operating system.  We can start containers on a hardware running machine or inside of running virtual machine. Each container run's as a fully isolated operating sysem. In container virtualization rather than having an entire Operating System guest OS, containers isolate the guest but do not virtualize the hardware. For running containers one needs a patched kernel and user tools, the kernel provides process isolation and performs resource management. Thus all containers are running under the same kernel but they still have their own file system, processes, memory etc. Linux based containers mainly involved with two concepts: 1. Namespaces 2. Cgroups ( Controll Groups) There are total 6 types of Namespaces: 1. PID Na...

Setting up DNS service Add-On in kubernetes

Setting up DNS service Add-On in kubernetes What things get DNS names? Every Service defined in the cluster (including the DNS server itself) is assigned a DNS name. By default, a client Pod’s DNS search list will include the Pod’s own namespace and the cluster’s default domain. This is best illustrated by example: Assume a Service named “ my-service ” in the Kubernetes namespace “ dev ” . A Pod running in namespace “ dev ” can look up this service by simply doing a DNS query for “ my-service ” . A Pod running in namespace can look up this service by doing a DNS query for my-service.dev . Kubernetes offers a cluster addon for DNS service discovery, which most environments enable by default. “SkyDNS” seems to be the standard DNS server of choice, since it was designed to work on top of etcd. The “ kube-dns” addon is composed of a kubernetes service which, like all services, is allocated an arbitrary VIP within the preconfigured subnet (this is the IP that every other serv...
