Artificial Intelligence and IT - Keys to a Great AIOps Solution

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – once the basis of Science fiction is now reality.

Boot machines remotely with OpUtils: The Wake on LAN advantage

When businesses have a high number of computers, getting all of them turned on manually can be a herculean task for any network admin. This can lead to organizations keeping their computers on even when not in use. Of course, this approach is not ideal, as electricity bills would skyrocket in result. That said, there are legitimate reasons for a network admin to leave a machine running after business hours (e.g., system maintenance or configuration management).

Go for ROS

If you started reading this post thinking I would explain why you should go for ROS when building robots, think again. To be fair, that topic deserves a post of its own. But for this article, I’ll be using Go in the context of Golang. As in the Go programming language. As in the one designed by Google with an adorable Gopher for a mascot. Specifically, we will talk about ROS client libraries for the Go programming language; their features, their advantages, and what gaps still remain.

Integrating proactive monitoring with customer service

Everyone knows the existential question: If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Leading-edge customer service management today has produced a corollary: If a network problem is fixed before the customer even suspects there’s an issue, did it even happen?

Kubernetes Security Best Practices

Cloud-native is the new standard for modern applications. This usually means container-based applications, using the popular Docker and Kubernetes platforms, and increasingly also service mesh platforms such as Istio and Envoy. With that, container security in general—and Kubernetes security in particular—is at the forefront of engineers’ minds. Docker popularized containers based on the good-old but little-used LXC Linux containers.

Tutorial: Logging with journald

If you’re using Linux, I’m sure you bumped into journald: it’s what most distros use by default for system logging. Most applications running as a service will also log to the journal. So how do you make use of these logs to: In this post, we’ll answer all the above and more. We will dive into the following topics: There are lots of other options to centralize journal entries, and lots of tools to help.
