Why Deep Observability is the Key to Infrastructure Success in 2024 and Beyond

In today’s digital economy, infrastructure has evolved from your organization’s technical foundation to a strategic asset that can make or break your business outcomes. Yet, as companies embrace hybrid environments, many find themselves struggling with a critical challenge: how to maintain control and visibility across increasingly complex infrastructure landscapes and AI workloads.

How to Change a Table Name in MySQL in Different Ways

In one of our previous articles, we discussed how to rename a database in MySQL in detail. In this article, we will focus specifically on renaming tables in MySQL. Rename table operations are common. Quite often, as business situations and requirements change, it becomes necessary to change the names of tables in MySQL databases.

Measuring The Scale Of AWS Data Center Locations Worldwide

In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) pioneered cloud computing as we know it today. With about 34% of the market share, Amazon Web Services remains the largest cloud infrastructure provider today, followed by Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). AWS is a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). That means AWS builds, maintains, and continually improves multiple data centers worldwide and then rents the computing infrastructure to other companies over the Internet as needed.

The Dark NOC: A New Era in Network Operations

As telecom providers evolve to support 5G and beyond, network complexity skyrockets. That’s where a “Dark NOC” comes into play. Contrary to what it might sound like, a Dark NOC doesn’t mean a completely deserted control room. Instead, it’s a NOC that can operate with minimal human oversight thanks to advanced automation. Routine and even some complex processes run autonomously, leaving human intervention only for specific, high-stakes scenarios.

Maximizing Developer Productivity with Code Visibility: A Complete Guide

Do you often spend more time trying to understand code instead of writing it? Whether it’s finding dependencies, understanding data flows, or locating the right entry points, the lack of visibility in codebases, both new and old, can quickly slow devs down. With the right tools and practices, though, developers can access the full picture of the codebase from the start. This guide is all about making code visibility work for you.

MicroCloud LTS Demo

Canonical MicroCloud’s 2.1.0 LTS release features support for single-node deployments, improved security posture, and more flexibility during the initialization process. In this video we guide you through the new process, starting with deploying a MicroCloud on a single node, and then expanding with two additional members for a highly available cluster. Follow along and try it yourself.

What is a MicroCloud?

A MicroCloud is a new lightweight, featureful, and straightforward cloud for on-demand computing at the edge. MicroClouds differ from IoT which uses thousands of single machines or sensors to gather data, yet does not perform computing tasks. Instead, MicroClouds reuse proven cloud primitives with unattended, autonomous, and clustering features that resolve typical edge computing challenges.
