While cloud solutions can give you greater flexibility as you scale your infrastructure, limited visibility into resource utilization makes provisioning the right amount of compute resources challenging. To ensure that every workload is fully supported, many organizations may opt to over-provision, which leads to overspending. Or, in an attempt to maximize cost savings, organizations may under-provision, leaving workloads unsupported and risking serious performance impacts.

The service catalog is an indispensable component of a team’s software development infrastructure. Anything you need to know about your microservice architecture - whether it is knowing who owns a particular service or what another service’s dependencies are - lives inside this repository. Its potential, however, is not limited to being a storehouse for all the data about your microservices.

Time series data is a sequence of data points generated through repeated measurements indexed over time. The data points originate from the same source and track changes at different points in time.

Fleet in Rancher 2.7.0 can fetch Helm charts from OCI registries. Using OCI registries to store Helm charts is an increasingly popular storage method. It allows storing your charts in a registry alongside your container images. This unifies the storage options for charts and reduces friction. Using a chart in an OCI registry is fairly simple.

Lua is one of the many great interpreters that can be run on embedded devices. It’s fast, uses little memory, is written in ANSI C, and is known by plenty of developers. These are a few of the many reasons why the team at Panic chose to include a Lua interpreter on their Playdate device and allow games to be written in it. You can think of Lua as an alternative to the MicroPython (Python) or JerryScript (Javascript) interpreters. However, there’s a problem.
