MySQL is the de facto choice for open-source relational databases, and you should learn how to use MySQL database logs to improve efficiency and security. As an open-source product, it is free to use and has a large and active developer community. It is crucial to understand how to diagnose and monitor the performance of a MySQL instance in the long run. Logs to the rescue!
As software is evolving away from monoliths and towards service-based architectures, it is becoming more apparent than ever that logging performance needs to be a first-class consideration of our architectural designs. This article will explore how to build and maintain a logging solution for a microservice-oriented containerized application, how to address some common difficulties which come with running such a solution, plus some tips for debugging and eliminating bottlenecks.
The Internet of Things (or, IoT) is an umbrella term for multiple connected devices sharing real-time data, and IoT logging is an important part of this. Troubleshooting bug fixes, connection problems, and general malfunctions rely heavily on logs, making them an invaluable asset not only in designing systems but also in system maintenance. To maximize system potential, this plethora of generated data needs to be managed efficiently.
In July, I announced SUSE's intent to acquire Rancher Labs, and now that the acquisition is final, today we embark on a new journey with SUSE. I couldn't be more excited about our future and what this means for our customers around the world. Just as Rancher made computing everywhere a possibility for our customers, with SUSE, we will empower our customers to innovate everywhere.
At Logz.io, we are always keeping a close eye on the most widely-used and favorite open source monitoring tools among the developer community. This is why we announced the Early Access for our Infrastructure Monitoring product based on open source grafana at this time last year. After a successful GA and a year of strong adoption among new and existing customers, I’m thrilled to announce a huge milestone for the product: Early Access for Prometheus-as-a-service!
Site Reliability Engineering, or SRE for short, has become quite the buzzword. I wasn’t there in 2004, when Ben Treynor started it at Google, but I claim bragging rights based on the fact that the very same Ben Treynor interviewed me for an SRE role in 2005. (I also got the job after the interview, in case that wasn’t obvious…) When SREcon EMEA 2019 came along, I thought it was just about time to publicly speculate about the future of our profession.
Another noteworthy fact of this Kubernetes 1.20 release is that it brings 43 enhancements, up from 34 in 1.19. Of those 43 enhancements, 11 are graduating to Stable, 15 are completely new, and 17 are existing features that keep improving. So many enhancements means that they are smaller in scope. Kubernetes 1.20 is a healthy house cleaning event with a lot of small user-friendly changes.
Today AWS unveiled the Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) and Sysdig is excited to deliver support for the new Kubernetes distribution with our Secure DevOps solutions. Wherever you choose to run EKS-D to run container applications, Sysdig can also be used to detect and respond to runtime threats, continuously and validate compliance, as well as monitor and troubleshoot.
Every user desires to choose a site which is more user-friendly with an outstanding page-experience. To measure the user experience of a site on the web, Google announced Core Web Vitals in April 2020, the most trending website ranking signal. With the existing metrics such as page loads, mobile-friendliness, security, rendering etc.
Today Amazon announced Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D), a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS Distro enables you to create reliable and secure Kubernetes clusters using the same versions of Kubernetes and its dependencies deployed by Amazon EKS. Each Amazon EKS Distro release follows the EKS process, verifying new Kubernetes versions for compatibility.
