Kubernetes GitOps with Rancher Continuous Delivery

As the number of Kubernetes clusters under management increases, application owners and cluster operators need a programmatic way to approach cluster management. Rancher CD solves this by creating a git driven engine for applying cluster changes. Declarative code is stored in a git repo. As changes are committed to the repo, linked clusters are automatically updated. Gitops keeps all your clusters consistent, version controlled, and reduces the administrative burden as you scale.

DBAle 27: Continuous Delivery with Chris, Chris and Santa

In this cracker of a DBAle episode, you can not only hear, but see our Chris-tmas duo as they embark on an end-to-end database journey where even the beers are getting Festiv-O. There’s no gold, frankincense, and myrrh, instead our two (not so) wise men build and incrementally deliver NuGet presents down your pipeline chimney. So, grab yourself a beer and tune in for the last DBAle of 2020 - cheers!

Optical Networking / DWDM Basics

Optical networking delivers the distance, bandwidth scalability, resiliency, and manageability that broadband networks require. You're invited to a special session from Ribbon on Tuesday, December 15th where we will review optical networking technology and basics and explain how optical networks solve reachability, survivability, bandwidth growth, and maintenance challenges for broadband services. What problems do optical networks solve? What are the major piece parts and important vocabulary? What do I have to think about when deploying? Any cool stuff on the market I should be aware of?

Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu: 2020 roundup

We’re almost there, 2021 is just around the corner. Like many others, we at Canonical have a deep appreciation for all things Raspberry Pi. We see the good they do and the joy they bring and can’t help but be impressed. This year marks the beginning of a stronger collaboration between the folks at Raspberry Pi and us at Canonical. We are by no means done and still have a long way to go. But we have made strides in the right direction.

HTTP Keep-Alive, Pipelining, Multiplexing and Connection Pooling

Persistent connections allow HAProxy to optimize resource usage, lower latency on both the client and server side, and support connection pooling. HTTP is a layer 7 protocol that’s transmitted over a TCP connection. It works in a client-server model and follows the request-response paradigm, which means that a client sends a request to a server, which then replies with a response. From this statement, you can infer two different ways of operating.
