Data Pipelines Overview

A Data Pipeline is a series of processes that collects raw data from various sources, filters the disqualified data, transforms them into the appropriate format, moves them to the places you want to store them, analyzes them, and finally presents them to your audience. As we can see in the chart above, a data pipeline is analogous to a water flow: data flows from one stage to another while being processed and reshaped.

Internet of Things and Ubuntu: 2021 highlights

With rising unit shipments and hardware spending, 2021 will go into the record books as a critical year in the ever-increasing adoption of connected devices. Ubuntu – the modern, open-source Linux operating system for the enterprise server, desktop, and cloud – is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for Internet of Things ( IoT) devices.

The State of Robotics - November 2021

Learning how to fly. Again. Because certain technologies and processes can always be optimized. Take laptops, for instance (I always wanted to become a laptop designer!). From foldable screens to computers that incorporate e-readers, we are always pushing for new designs that address ergonomic requirements but also improve the way we work. We are doing the same with drones. This month features innovations that dare to challenge the status quo of how we fly.

WSL for data scientist

Ubuntu is the number one choice for data scientists worldwide. It is also by far the most popular Linux distribution used on public clouds with machine learning offerings. However, we don’t forget about our Windows friends – many of whom had their operating system chosen by corporate IT departments. Windows users can still get all the benefits of using Ubuntu thanks to Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Deploy Container on Ubuntu Pro on Google Cloud

Since I wrote Launch Ubuntu Desktop on Google Cloud last week, I kept thinking about putting Ubuntu Desktop into containers. A container is an independent unit of software packages and their dependencies so that the application on the container can run reliably in different computing environments. Docker, an open-source project launched in 2013, made Container technology popular all over the world in just a few years. Why? Let’s compare Containers and Virtual Machines.
