Have you ever visited a place like a library or a museum where the computer or tablet is only used for certain information or services? This is made possible through kiosk software. It allows a device to only access certain programs or applications. It prevents the device from accessing any other features or functions of the operating system.

It's that time of the year again, folks. Everyone's gazing at the crystal ball, hoping to get a fairly accurate preview of things to look out for in 2023. The ITOps world could definitely use one, as it seems to be trapped in a self-fulfilling prophecy of innovation. There's so much happening that it's gradually becoming tougher to separate buzzwords from proven technology trends.

Testing Kubernetes Ingress resources can be tricky, and can lead to frustration when bugs pop up in production that weren't caught during testing. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but with Ingress specifically, it often has to do with a misalignment between the data used in testing and the traffic generated in production. Tools like Postman can be a great way of generating traffic, but they have the drawback of being manually created. Not only is this unlikely to create all the needed variations for a single endpoint (different headers, different request bodies, etc.), it would be almost impossible to create all the needed variations, for all possible endpoints.

Everything you need to know about error monitoring software.

Hall of Fame professional wrestler Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff said of his ascent to become one of the WWE's biggest stars of the 1980s that, "I knew where I wanted to go. I had a plan. I don't care what you do in life, you better have a plan." And for ITOps teams making new plan-or adjusting the sails on their existing ones-it's good to have insights that inform those plans.

Traditionally, we consider IT to be managing and monitoring on-premises network infrastructure, including hardware and software. However, the reality is that most enterprises have accepted and migrated much of their infrastructure to the cloud already. They recognize the benefits of the cloud and that it is here for the long haul. According to the latest study from Deloitte, 90% of organizations have been using cloud services for the last three years, and 79% are hosting workloads with multiple cloud providers. In addition, adopting cloud computing platforms has accelerated significantly in the remote work era.

Integration is a fundamental part of any IT infrastructure. It allows organizations to connect different systems and applications together in order to share data and information. As organizations become more complex and interconnected, they need to ensure they have complete observability and monitoring of their integration architecture. This is essential in order to discover, understand and fix any issues that can arise.
