Container Optimized System performance

I am doing some load tests and according to my observations seems the cos-stable machine underperforms a normal linux machine.
I have started up the cos-stable machine with a container running node-alpine linux with a js application and execute a load test, then I did the same using an ubuntu machine, installing the node on it to run the same js application.
Both OS' were using the same resources, n1 machines with 2vcpu, 8Gram and 10G SSD disk.
Does anyone have information about how to tune the cos-stable container to have the same performance as I had in the ubuntu machine?
Thanks.
well according to the comment of this user in the docker forum
I have to agree with the others, I always use official images if I can and I always select the Alpine version if available. Why use Alpine? Two reasons:
Much small images. Ubuntu is 188MB alone. Then you add your app on top
of that probably exceeding 200MB. Alpine Linux is only 4MB! After
adding my Python runtime and code most of my images are only 52MB.
Compare that will almost 200MB of Ubuntu. Smaller images are smaller
upload/download and take up less disk space.
In adding to that, if you are running the same application in both machines with different OS you have to consider pros and cons of using that OS
if you want to customize your Container Optimized OS VM creation you can follow the instructions in this link
I hope this information can be useful.

Is there any way to create compiled files for another OS?

Context: I have a machine in the cloud running mysql 5.7 in a virtualized Debian OS. I am actually using a MAC OS to development and I need to compile a shared object (.so) to this mysql instance.
Is there any way to compile in the MAC OS a binary for Debian?
The only solution I can think is to run a docker container with Debian, set the environment and compile inside it.

Launch Beyond Compare(Win) for Mercurial Merge(Linux) using XServer

I've beyondcompare licence for my windows machine and I can't use that licence for linux installation. I work on linux server via putty from my windows system.
I could launch linux visual merge tools like meld using X server. But I'm looking for a way to use X server/X11 to launch beyondcompare from my putty session. In short, I want to launch a windows application itself from the linux env over putty.
My last choice would be to pull changes to my windows machine and do a merge on windows; push it back. But it would be nice if I could launch beyondcompare from linux.
Any Ideas?
It isn't possible to launch a diff/merge in the Windows version of Beyond Compare from a Linux system via SSH. There are three possible workarounds:
Upgrade your license to a multi-platform license and use the Linux
version of Beyond Compare.
Run the Windows version of Beyond Compare on your Windows machine and access the files on the Linux machine using the SFTP support built into Beyond Compare Pro.
Install Mercurial on your Windows machine, then check out files and
diff/merge from there. See the Using Beyond Compare With Version
Control Systems article to configure BC as the
diff and merge tool for Mercurial on Windows.

How install and configure mysql 5.6.16 in windows 7

I downloaded the zip file for Mysql 5.6.16, but there is no .exe file in the folder.

How can i install and configure mysql 5.6.16 in windows 7 ??
Thanx in advance
As described in How to install MySQL on Windows 7?:
The installer installs the following software in your computer
a.) MySQL Server
b.) MySQL Connectors
c.) MySQL Workbench and sample
models
d.) MySQL for Excel
e.) MySQL Notifier
f.) MySQL for Visual
Studio
g.) Sample Databases
h.) Documentation
Download the installer here : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/
There are two options available: (as on 31 Jan 2014 , the latest version is 5.6.16)
(i) mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.16.0.msi – 1.5MB
(ii) mysql-installer-community-5.6.16.0.msi – 250.8MB
I personally prefer the 2nd option. This helps me to keep the .msi file as backup in my computer. I can install MySQL whenever I need to
even if I am offline.
After downloading the 250 MB file, double click it to start the installation process. Now it is simple as installing any software on
windows 7.
Once you are done with the installation download the official document
Direct link for A4 size pdf –
http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/refman-5.6-en.a4.pdf
Now click the “MySQL Notifier” in programs menu. The Notifier icon appears in the task bar (right bottom). Right click on the small red
icon and select “start” the server option.
Click the “MySQL Workbench” in the programs menu. Start creating databases/schemas/tables/SQL scripts.
You can install mysql server on windows, using mysql web community installer. The web community installer is 32 bit, but you can use it install mysql on both 32 bit and 64 bit windows machines.
For step by step guide for installing mysql on windows machine, check this page How to install MySQL server on windows?
Install Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer) from this link , even if your are using 64 bit operating system. MySQL Installer is 32 bit, but will install both 32 bit and 64 bit binaries.
Simply follow the steps and make sure to select the dependency for Visual Studio. Installer will download everything for you.
Please Download Xampp Windows installer & install it on Windows. Hope this would work for you - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwSCUHIzMsk .
