Accelerate Storage Spaces with SSDs in Windows 10 Storage Pool tiers

Create Storage Spaces in Windows 10 Windows Server O/S contains Storage Spaces support for Server Spaces tiered storage. You can front slower spinning disks with smaller faster SSDs. Windows 10 has a Storage Spaces GUI Control Panel that does not include the tiered storage GUI. This means Powershell must be used for all configuration. https://github.com/freemansoft/win10-storage-spaces contains scripts that create tiered storage pools that integrate SSDs as caching drives and HDDs as storage drives. They assume you have at least one SSD and one HDD. The scripts automatically find all raw drives and add them to the pool. Some HDDs have their types incorrectly identified. The script can coerce them to be MediaType:HDD The entire virtual drive is added to the system as a single large volume You need at least 1 SSD and 1 HDD to run cached storage / Simple resiliency 2 SSD and 2 HDD to run cached storage / Mirror resiliency / 1 SSD and 2 HDD to run cached storage / Simple re

Docker on a Chromebook on Crostini - Neverware CloudReady is ready

Chrome OS is not just for kids and coffee tables. It can provide a useful Linux platform too. Crostini brings a secure linux environment to Chrome OS. Sophisticated development and deployments can be created with Docker containers running inside in this environment. Chrome OS is capable of running Anaconda, Jupyter notebooks and other containers on many different developer machines. I run CloudReady Chrome OS on a Dell E7x40 to great effect. References Chromebook firebase setup guide Cloud Ready running Docker without Crostini or VirtualBox Crostini forums on reddit Install docker-compse on Ubuntu Run Linux programs on ChromeBook with Crostini Hackernoon Pixelbook Revisited: Running Docker Containers Running the shell and connecting Chrome to docker apps Install and run Docker in Crostini All testing was done on CloudReady running on a Dell E7240. I was able to run anaconda/Python and other docker-compose using docker-compose.yml files my github that I had

Java 8 development on Linux/WSL with Visual Studio Code on Windows 10

Linux on Windows via WSL 2, has become a great development environment when targeting cloud containers and functions. Windows has a shot at becoming the favorite desktop for users building Linux applications. Visual Studio Code (VSCode) is a great IDE. VSCode can run in a split GUI/Server fashion with the GUI in Windows and all the full SDLC executing on Linux. Development happens inside the Linux, WSL2 leveraging VS Code Server The GUI happens as a real part of the Windows Desktop and connects to Remote VSCode servers, in this case in WSL Linux Ooh A Video Java Development VSCode's Java integration is built on top of Java 11. This means you probably will end up with Java 11 JDK installed in WSL2 Linux and in Windows. By default, applications will be Compiled with Java 11. You can target application compilation against versions other than the one used by the IDE. This is done by installing the needed Java versions on the Linux side and adding the Java installation locations
