Approximately one year ago, Kubernetes 1.14 made support of Windows containers running on Microsoft Windows Server nodes generally available.

Unplanned work is on the rise—and most companies are unprepared for it. That’s according to the recent “State of Unplanned Work Report 2020,” which surveyed 1,316 people across North America and the EMEA and APJ regions. The survey focused on identifying current practices and challenges of responding to customer-impacting technology issues.
“Sociotechnical” — I learned this word from Liz Fong-Jones recently, and it immediately entered my daily lexicon. You know exactly what it means as soon as you hear it, and then you wonder how you ever lived without it. Our systems are sociotechnical systems.

A good ping is extremely important for successful online gaming, particularly because it enhances the gaming experience and reduces the chance that server glitches will take place. A lower numbered ping is considered better because it is the amount of time that an echo is received from the server that you are connecting to. A shorter period of time to receive a response from the server will lower your overall ping and likely enhance your internet connection to the server.
Simple Network Management Protocols, SNMP, refers to protocols family used to probe and control various network devices. It includes three protocol versions (v1, v2c, v3), all of those supported by IPHost Network Monitor. SNMP is a popular means of watching network devices of any kind (nowadays literally every device with an IP address can support SNMP); however, there are typical problems users can encounter when using SNMP-enabled devices in local or global network.
Windows file server auditing is a great way to monitor what is going on with all the files stored on your company’s servers.
