We are proud to introduce SUSE Edge 2.0, which will empower customers to accelerate and scale edge infrastructures and transform edge operations.

With billions of devices and applications producing time series data every nanosecond, InfluxDB is the leading way to store and analyze this data. With the enormous variety of data sources, InfluxDB provides multiple ways for users to get data into InfluxDB. One of the most common data formats of this data is CSV, comma-separated values. This blog post demonstrates how to take CSV data, translate it into line protocol, and send it to InfluxDB using the InfluxDB CLI and InfluxDB Client libraries.

Understanding if your applications are not just available but also functioning as expected is critical for any organization. Third-party dependencies and different end-user device types means that infrastructure monitoring and application observability alone are not enough to spot and minimize the impact of application anomalies.

We’re excited to announce our beta launch of Kentik Kube, an industry-first solution that reveals how K8s traffic routes through an organization’s data center, cloud, and the internet. With this launch, Kentik can observe the entire network — on prem, in the cloud, on physical hardware or virtual machines, and anywhere in between.

Microservices architecture is the new norm for building products these days. An application made up of hundreds of independent services enables teams to work independently and accelerate development. However, such highly distributed applications are also harder to monitor. When hundreds of services are traversed to satisfy a single request, it becomes difficult to investigate system issues.

In 2004, a joint initiative of the US Department of Homeland Security and the National Cybersecurity Alliance declared October National Cybersecurity Awareness Month to help raise awareness of the best practices to remain safe while working online. Vigilance enables us to maintain privacy and productivity for our own sake and for the organizations we may work for.

Playbooks aim to be a super-powered checklist for repetitive tasks. Before you can get to the “super-powered checklist,” though, you need to identify the process that you’ll use to build your first playbook and create a structured process as a Playbook checklist. Let’s go on that journey today.

Lambda is the glue that holds serverless architectures together. Before its release, most users felt it was a matter of luck as to whether AWS would let you connect a service to another. If not, you had to spin up a VM or a container to transform the events from one service in a way that your target service could handle them. Since Lambda was easier to set up, people assumed that all code they would deploy on it would run faster and cheaper than on other compute services.

Forward-thinking organizations prioritize innovation—and for good reason. “It’s never been clearer that those who embrace a culture of innovation and digital transformation are going to have the best chance to thrive,” notes ServiceNow Chief Strategy Officer Nick Tzitzon, guest editor of the Fall 2022 Workflow Quarterly. Research by ServiceNow and ThoughtLab confirms this insight.

At our N-able Empower event held in Las Vegas last month, our CEO John Pagliuca spoke to more than 400 of our MSP partners about the fact that he while doesn’t believe anything is recession proof, he does believe that the MSP industry is recession resilient.
