Think open source – the world’s leading software portfolio. Open-source software enables you to build fully functional virtualisation and cloud infrastructure while ensuring total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction and business continuity. In this blog, we will walk you through the open source ecosystem. We will help you understand how it differs from other VMware alternatives by answering five common questions.

Google just announced that they have submitted an application for Kubeflow to become an incubating project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It is an initiative supported by the Kubeflow Project Steering group. The request is visible to everyone and it represents a game changer for the rhythm which Kubeflow will develop. It makes community growth a strategic objective and puts Kubeflow on a development fast track.

In the first post of this series, I detailed ways companies considering cloud adoption can achieve quick wins in performance and cost savings. While these benefits of the cloud certainly remain true in theory, realizing these benefits in practice can be increasingly difficult as applications and their networks become more complex.

We often hear the term load used to describe the state of a server or a device, but we're here to tell you what it means, precisely, and how to monitor it.

When you design architecture to monitor your digital assets - either software applications or hardware devices, you need to use different strategies depending on your monitoring target. The factors you want to consider can vary including methods of retrieving monitoring data, frequency of data collection, and how you want to surface metrics and insight you find to stakeholders. In this article, we will mainly discuss how we can monitor your network SNMP devices using Hosted Graphite.

Container runner, a new container-friendly self-hosted runner, is now available for all CircleCI users. Self-hosted runners are a popular solution for customers with unique compute or security requirements. Container runner reduces the barrier to entry for using self-hosted runners within a containerized environment and makes it easier for central DevOps teams to manage running containerized CI/CD jobs behind a firewall at scale.
