Product Release

What's new in Kubernetes 1.20?

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.

New Features: On-call Reports, On-call Reminder, Terraform Provider, Zapier Integration

Icinga for Windows v1.3.0 - Yet another release!

Agreed, it might feel like routine by now, but we are still happy to announce today’s release of Icinga for Windows v1.3.0.

Like with every release we appreciate all feedback, testing and bug reports, from our community and user base, as without you we wouldn’t be able to make such great progress with this project.

Set up Availability Monitoring from the End Users Perspective

A recurring theme of modern monitoring tools is that they focus on the user, not the systems. To put it another way, while monitoring your infrastructure is essential, it matters more when your customers can’t interact with your application. That would mean lost sales, lost time, unhappy people – and unfortunately for us, unhappy people like to share how grumpy they are. It’s bad for business! But that’s why we’ve made Availability Monitoring in SquaredUp.

Introducing Inputs Data Manager on Splunk Cloud

Splunk Cloud’s ecosystem of apps and technical add-ons boasts a comprehensive set of input sources that enrich customer data insights. Many of these inputs reside in Cloud contexts, such as AWS, Salesforce, Azure, GCP, and many others. The Inputs Data Manager was introduced to aid the ingestion of these cloud data sources. As a result, in many cases, customers no longer need to host their own infrastructure to run scripted and modular inputs.
