All good web hosts provide their customers with a Service Level Agreement (SLA). SLAs often include an uptime guarantee where the hosting provider agrees to compensate the customer if the specified uptime is not met. However, we've never known a host to voluntarily compensate their customers - in reality it's up to the customer to ask for compensation.
At re:Invent 2019, Farrah and I gave a talk on our paths into the tech industry, how serverless helped us both build some of our first products, and how serverless represents a new mindset. I’d wanted to share a version of that talk on our blog for those who couldn’t make it, though we hope to give it again in the near future.
SSL is considered as the foundation for keeping the Internet secure. It is also one of the methods commonly used to protect sensitive data as it is transmitted throughout the world. In addition, SSL is crucial if you want to keep your website safe regardless if it doesn’t utilize sensitive data like credit card information, location, and address. The standard can provide privacy, security, and data protection for your clients’ personal information and your website.
Most modern platforms like AWS and Kubernetes create dynamic environments by quickly spinning up instances or containers with significantly shorter lifespans than physical hosts. In these environments, where large-scale applications can be distributed across multiple ephemeral containers or instances, tagging is essential to monitoring services and underlying infrastructure.
The new year is fast approaching, and many of us will make resolutions in preparation for 2020. As you make your own personal pledge to change an undesired trait or behavior, or to accomplish a personal improvement goal, take a closer look at some of the changes you can make on the business side of things. Perhaps your organization’s websites could use some improvements of their own.
Single-node deployments of Kubernetes are more common than what one would expect. In some scenarios, single-node clusters make much more sense. For development purposes or testing, there’s no need to deploy a full-blown production-grade cluster. Single-node deployments are also handy for appliances and IoT applications since they have a much smaller footprint. Enter MicroK8s, a tool by Canonical that enables you to easily deploy a lightweight single-node cluster in your local environment.
When working with Java or any other JVM-based programming language we get certain functionalities for free. One of those functionalities is clearing the memory. If you’ve ever used languages like C/C++ you probably remember functions like malloc, calloc, realloc and free. We needed to take care of the assignment of each byte in memory and take care of releasing the assigned memory when it was no longer needed.
The Extended Support end-date for XenApp 6.5 is just under two months away, so the remaining customers, which I expect to be a fair few, should be on their migration journey to the Flexcast Management Architecture versions of Virtual Apps and Desktops 7. We should take a moment to firstly identify the different types of customers and where they are on their Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops journey.
