In this new update you learn more about the improvements we’re currently working on in the field of UI / UX. Not in a reading mood? No worries. Relax and enjoy our podcast below. In 2015 Fuga Cloud was born. A 100% IaaS service created by the team behind the Dutch Managed Service Provider, Cyso. A service that makes it as easy as possible to launch a VM within a few seconds without the intervention of a cloud provider.

In this new update you learn more about our road towards launching a complete new region at Fuga Cloud. Not in a reading mood? No worries. Relax and enjoy our podcast below. The road to a new Cloud region. It’s a fun, but bumpy ride. One of the most asked features for Fuga Cloud is an extra region. That’s why we are working hard to develop a new region. And it needs to be even better than the first region we launched back in 2015.

Last summer, we at Fuga Cloud started rethinking the way we approach writing our CSS. Before this point, we were still using vanilla CSS. This was starting to become more of a problem with every feature we rolled out. So when I started working here, my first assignment was to implement SCSS following the ITCSS methodology. This enabled us to do two things: SCSS enabled us to write SCSS in a component-like way ITCSS forced us to write our CSS in a logical order We chose Gulpto compile our SCSSand to automate some other stuff such as minification and sourcemaps etc.

There I am again, talking about server monitors. However, I personally think this one is a lot more exciting. Prometheus is a server monitoring tool that collects data about the hosts it monitors, allowing you to spot trends and interesting data passing by. And i don’t mean collecting data in a Facebook way, but in a way that’s actually beneficial to both customer and provider. It collects data about disk usage, CPU usage and all the stuff that interests us techies.

The world is changing fast and customers are more demanding than ever. The challenge for organisations is to continuously meet the expectations of customers. How do we manage this challenge? And how important is our customers' feedback for us to improve our services? This blog will hopefully give you an insight into our business and the way we appreciate and use the feedback we receive. Fuga Cloud by Cyso But first, let’s take a few steps back.

Vanaf begin oktober ben ik werkzaam bij Fuga Cloud. Ik ben net dit jaar afgestudeerd voor mijn opleiding Toegepaste Wiskunde. Omdat ik geen ICT opleiding heb gevolgd was het in het begin veel bijleren over basisbegrippen, ook was Linux vrij nieuw voor mij. Dit heb ik me in de eerste weken eigen proberen te maken. De eerste twee weken stonden ook in het teken van het hele bedrijf leren kennen, zoals de verschillen tussen Cyso, SQR en Fuga Cloud.

A common request for hosting companies is the guarantee of uptime on hosts and services. Naturally, this is very hard to guarantee, because servers go down in the middle of the night, and without good reason. So what are you going to do? Sit there all night, visit the websites to confirm they’re working? Ping the servers all night long, checking for downtime? Luckily tools exist to monitor your hosts, and today I’ll write a bit about our journey integrating one of them, Nagios into our preferred communications channel - slack.

Welcome reader, as you have opened this page, I assume you have come to learn about Horizon and it’s intricate web of Dashboards and Panels out of which is built. If this is the case read on, otherwise, you might have miss-clicked. If this sounds confusing, do not despair for I shall enlighten you (or try my hardest to do so). But first, let me introduce myself, My name is Koen, I’m an intern here at Fuga Cloud and have spent the last couple of weeks becoming familiar with Horizon, its Dashboards, its Panels and Django on which Horizon is built.

When you work with bleeding edge technology you can expect the unexpected As most of us know software is never without bugs and due to technical diversity most of us won’t be able to fix these bugs ourselves. Instead we can develop and deploy workarounds while we wait for specialists to release a fix. In this post I’d like to share how we resolved a connectivity issue between pods in our Kubernetes cluster due to a tunnelling issue in Calico.
