CNCF Member Webinar: DevOps Patterns and Antipatterns for Continuous Software Updates

So, you want to update the software for your user, be it the nodes in your K8s cluster, a browser on the user’s desktop, an app in the user’s smartphone or even a user’s car. What can possibly go wrong? In this talk, we’ll analyze real-world software update fails and how multiple DevOps patterns, that fit a variety of scenarios, could have saved the developers. Manually making sure that everything works before sending update and expecting the user to do acceptance tests before they update is most definitely not on the list of such patterns.

Kubernetes Master Class: How to harden your Kubernetes Clusters

But you may think, “What a strange way to start this topic, deprecated actions? Why should I use deprecated actions?”.

AIOps Early Warning System: Root Cause Analysis

With root cause analysis, LogicMonitor uses automatically discovered relationships between monitored resources to identify the root cause for triggered alerts and notify users of the originating issue, while preventing notifications for dependent resources in alert. When a core or root device goes down affecting connectivity for downstream devices, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) will identify the originating and dependent resources and subsequent alerts and disable notifications for dependent resources.

Statistical Modeling to Solve a Time-series Problem: How CloudZero Uses Machine Learning to Detect Cost Anomalies
