Understanding Service Level Objectives

True reliability takes into account all of the services that exist in your software environment — which is why it can get so complicated. An ecommerce site, for example, might have services that update current inventory in near real time, process payments in the shopping cart, trigger email receipts to send, kick off fulfillment orders, etc. And if one of these services isn’t operating at its best, that can mean money — and in some cases, customers — lost for the company.

Concurrency in Golang: Building a Data Pipeline for Monitoring Microservices from Scratch

Time and resource consumption have become the driving forces of developing modern applications. While building cloud-native applications, it’s important to ensure that you have the most optimized code in place, and oftentimes that means leveraging concurrency. While writing concurrent code may sound overwhelming at first, Golang makes it extremely easy to get a handle on.

Kubernetes Basics: Clusters, Pods, and Nodes

Containerization and Kubernetes have taken the DevOps world by storm in the past decade. More and more companies have turned to this technology to enhance their deployment workflows and cut costs. Examples like Pokemon Go and OpenAI would not have been feasible without Kubernetes. While Kubernetes is a growing technology in the current times, it comes with a relatively steep learning curve.

HP brings the power of Ubuntu-based data science to Windows workstations

Ubuntu is fast becoming the platform of choice for data scientists worldwide – which is why HP is empowering its customers to launch Ubuntu environments directly on their Windows machines. In addition to native Ubuntu offerings, select Z by HP workstations are also available with Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2) pre-installed and pre-enabled, giving users the ability to accelerate data science workflows on Ubuntu straight out of the box, without leaving their native Windows OS.

Kubernetes in Docker Desktop Just Got Easier with Epinio

Epinio takes developers from application to URL in one step. In this blog post, I’m going to tell you about the new Epinio extension for Docker Desktop, that allows you to run Epinio on your laptop. DevOps are very interested in the details of containerized workloads and Kubernetes especially, but for developers, the abstraction layer provided by Kubernetes might not be too relevant to their daily work.

Understand the Most Important Aspects of Kubernetes Objects

Objects are fundamental aspects of Kubernetes (K8s). To work with K8s, you need to understand how basic objects function. In this article, we’ll explain the purposes of the K8s objects you’ll run into most frequently. Objects are separated into two categories: Primitives and Controllers.

What Is Telemetry and Why Is It Important?

Properly leveraging telemetry is a true game-changer for any IT department looking to optimize and stabilize its systems. Telemetry provides the first step to answering the all-important question, “What’s happening in my network?” It’s your eye into the inner workings of your system, giving you a view into how different components are performing.
