Canonical is now issuing Ubuntu Security Notices (USNs) in the open source OSV format. Using the information provided, developers can identify known third-party, open source dependency vulnerabilities that pose a genuine risk to their application and its environment. This collaboration between Canonical and OSV aims to simplify vulnerability management and further enhance security for Ubuntu users.

Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) is revolutionising network management by helping businesses take greater control of the provisioning, payment and management of network services. In our on-demand webinar, “Unlocking the power of network automation”, Lisa Wright took a deeper look at how network automation, SDN (Software Defined Networking) and NaaS are shaping the future of networking and delivering value for enterprises.

When deploying Docker containers to AWS ECS, you can encounter a situation where you want to run an image that requires some configuration. For example, let's say you wanted to run Vector1 as a sidecar to your main application so you can ship your application's metrics to a service like Honeybadger Insights. To run Vector, you only need to provide one configuration file (/etc/vector/vector.yaml) to the image available on Docker Hub.

Continuous compliance and risk management can help keep your organization safe as the threat landscape changes and expands each year. The IT operations team is no longer just responsible for a few machines; they are managing complex environments that span across technologies, across teams, and at scale. They're expected to work fast while simultaneously considering the often-conflicting requirements of cost, compliance, and even workforce skills gaps.

A common misconception around cloud computing is that it’s automatically cheaper than running on-premises infrastructure. Unfortunately, when businesses switch to (or consider switching to) the cloud, their cloud savings may not be immediately evident. In fact, some businesses accrue more monthly costs with the on-demand cloud model than they would with on-premise systems. This begs the question: Is cloud computing really cost-effective?

Slovo Koltovich, Principal GPM at Microsoft, delivered the keynote at Integrate 2024. He began by discussing Azure Integration Services (AIS), a comprehensive platform enabling the creation of tailored solutions to meet unique requirements. The primary advantage of AIS lies in its focus on security and compliance. With nearly 800 connectors, AIS facilitates connections to numerous data sources. Microsoft invests billions annually in security, with thousands of personnel dedicated to it.

Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) are the new revolution of Artificial Intelligence, bringing the world capabilities that we could only dream about less than two years ago. Unlike previous milestones, such as Deep Learning, in the current AI revolution, everything is happening faster than ever before. Many feel that the train is about to leave the station, and since we are talking about bullet trains – every day matters.

As businesses increasingly migrate to cloud-based solutions to enhance their operational flexibility, the challenge of managing cloud expenses has become more pronounced. This development has highlighted the crucial role of finance teams, who are now integral in overseeing these complex cost structures.

Open source software (OSS) is a type of software with source code that can be published, reused, modified, and redistributed free of charge.
