In this blog, Divesh Gupta, VP of New Technology & Sales Operations at Console Connect, and Co-Chair of MEF’s Test & Certification Committee, shares his insights on the work Console Connect is doing behind-the-scenes to extend our automation capabilities to the network edge. Service providers across the world now find themselves at different stages of their automation journey.

We live in the cloud era, where your services don’t live in machines in your garage, but are spread across huge data centers around the world. Cloud providers can help meet increasing demands for reliability – for example, they offer dynamic resource allocation that can handle usage spikes. At the same time, going cloud native means not having a physical server onsite that you can fiddle with, introducing its own unique challenges. ‍

Hot on the heels of our Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release, we’ve already started building our first images for Ubuntu 22.10, codename: Kinetic Kudu. Up until now, Ubuntu WSL users have had access to our current Long Term Supported (LTS) releases. These provide a stable Ubuntu development environment, deeply integrated with Windows, for data science, cloud, web and IoT developers. But what if you’re one of those folks who like to live life on the edge?

For teams who deploy software to users around the world, every second counts when responding to outages and other incidents. It’s important that you have tools in your arsenal that are up to the challenge.

You might be familiar with GameDays at this point. From watching our Introduction to GameDay webinar, viewing our Demo video, and reading our tutorial, you’ve probably learned that GameDays were created with the goal of increasing reliability by purposely creating major failures on a regular basis. Better yet, perhaps your own team has run a GameDay and learned something new about their services’ behavior during failure scenarios.
