So, we’ve passed the first quarter of 2020. What have we learned? You don’t need us to tell you that, but robots are still cool As usual, this State of Robotics post discusses work the Ubuntu robotics team has done this past April, and some interesting projects we’ve seen in the community. Unfortunately, we had a total of zero submissions to be included this month, hopefully not a sign of the times.
Business owners like to focus on providing the best product or service for the clients. Keeping track of expense accounts, chasing invoices, and making sure the paperwork is all there come tax time is the last thing on their mind. Larger companies can usually afford to have a specialist on staff that can keep track of these financial processes, but that will be a luxury for most.
Nowadays, many people, even those far from IT industry, depend on remote conferencing services, either on premises, or global ones. Unless the status of those services is watched, its unexpected absence can disrupt upcoming meetings, causing all kinds of negative consequences. Let us provide a brief list of several remote conference services along with means to monitor their status and availability.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, ServiceNow and our partners have been busy meeting the needs of customers across the world. In recent weeks, several of our global partners have rolled out new applications, web portals and other services to help customers manage emergency response efforts. In these difficult times, their ingenuity, agility and speed have been nothing short of inspiring.
Even though most of us have spent this month working from home or furloughed due to COVID-19, glitches certainly haven’t been taking a break. We’re still relying on intricate software systems to keep the world moving, and we have little ability to maintain them in person. What’s more, changing usage patterns have stressed global networks in ways that are hard to anticipate. As a result, we find ourselves in a perfect storm for technical outages.
Managed service providers (MSPs) have been around for more than 20 years, and my how things have changed since they grew out of the original application service provider (ASP) model. Until recently, MSPs have focused primarily on remote monitoring, security, network management and other routine IT tasks that CIOs would rather outsource for cheaper than they can run internally.
On the internet, nothing necessarily stays easy, simple, and reliable forever – but we’re trying to keep it that way for your logs. When our customers use Kubernetes, they want to remain focused on the real challenges of scaling, and avoid infrastructure headaches, so that they can adapt to the unexpected easily and with a minimum of toil. That’s why we continue to invest in the LogDNA Agent. It’s built to handle file logging in even the most intensive Kubernetes deployments.
LogDNA is adding the ability to store and view raw lines, allowing customers to debug with logs in their unaltered form. If you’ve ever looked at your logs and noticed that the timestamp was different than what you expected, it is usually due to a long latency between the event and processing time of the logs. Depending on the size of the latency, we may update the log timestamp to order them accurately and to provide a cleaner and more intuitive search experience.
There are so many early serverless adopters and pioneers who many of us in the community know well: AWS heroes, in-demand speakers, and celebrated community organizers with thousands of followers, popular Twitch channels, and full speaking dockets. It’s a fantastic idea to follow these folks because they are known for a reason.We cover them regularly at Stackery!
Business leaders are always looking for ways to leverage technology so that employees can do their best work and meet evolving customer demands. While we settle into the new normal of remote work, mobile technology is taking on a new role in the enterprise, as employees adapt to an increased blending of their professional and personal lives. At ServiceNow, we recently conducted new research to understand how employees are taking advantage of mobile services offered by their organizations.
