Tuning the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) within containers involves adjusting various JVM parameters to ensure optimal performance, efficient resource utilization, and stability within the containerized environment. Here are some key considerations and best practices.
The majority of businesses now are using Docker to run applications. They devote a lot of time, energy, and resources to stabilize their success and invest heavily in a variety of advanced observation techniques. Despite this, they are experiencing poor performance and the containers are being stressed as a result of the heavy traffic flow. The motive of this blog is to help those running Java applications on docker containers in getting optimal performance.
On Linux servers, allowing direct root access increases the risk of accidental or unauthorized changes that can harm your system. Instead, admins can create accounts for users that only have the access they need to perform their tasks – and no more (a principle known as least privilege). These accounts are known as sudo users.
I will set up a Linux server running on AWS EC2. Basic and necessary information will be set up to build an application running environment on Docker.
Docker is great for running your application in various locations in a consistent way: recall the problematic yet common developer adage “It works on my machine!”. What if I’m trying to test something locally that needs to communicate with AWS and I need to authenticate/authorize my way in. This article is my research journal entry on that topic.
