Kubernetes stands out as a powerful orchestrator, managing the deployment, scaling, and operation of containerized workloads. A key component of Kubernetes observability and troubleshooting capabilities is the generation of events. These events serve as vital records, documenting incidents and changes within the cluster, offering real-time insights into the health and dynamics of the system.
As the holiday season rolls in, it’s not just about festive cheer and resolutions; it’s also time for industry leaders to cast their predictions for the new year. This year, Catchpoint’s thought leaders have stepped up with their hottest takes for 2024. Catchpoint experts are envisioning a transformative shift in the monitoring technologies, a heightened focus on performance as a key metric, and an integrated strategy for managing digital performance management.
As the "new guy" here at Cloudsmith (I was named CEO in August), I'm learning more every day about how customers use us to protect their software supply chains. We're doing everything we can to give you a single source of truth for every artifact - whether it's an open source package, a Docker container, a Linux image - that enters your software supply chain, and everything that you produce on the other side.
In a keynote at AI.Dev, Robert Nishihara (CEO, Anyscale) described the shift: A year ago, the people working with ML models were ML experts. Now, they’re developers. A year ago, the process was to experiment with building a model, then put a product on top of it. Now, it’s ship a product, find the market fit, then create customized models. The general-purpose generative AI models available to all of us today (such as ChatGPT) change the way work is done.
Understanding the expected behavior of the Splunk Load Balanced (Splunk LB) Destination when Splunk indexers are blocking involves complex logic. While existing documentation provides details into how the load-balancing algorithm works, this blog post dives into how a Splunk LB Destination sends events downstream and explains the intricacies of blocking vs. queuing when multiple targets (i.e., indexers) are involved.
With 2023 drawing to a close, the final OpenObservability Talks of the year focused on what happened this year in open source, DevOps, observability and more, with an eye towards the future. I was delighted to be joined by a special guest, Kelsey Hightower, a renowned figure in the tech community, especially known for his contributions to the Kubernetes ecosystem.
As the year 2023 draws to a close, we at Uptime.com want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our valued customers for their unwavering support and continued dedication to our platform. Your engagement and feedback have been crucial in guiding our developments and enhancements. It’s been a journey of continuous innovation, fueled by our entire team’s commitment to enhancing customer experience and engagement.
2023 was a big year for sustainability. More and more tech teams are realizing that sustainability is not a nice to have but a strategic priority for businesses. This conviction extends from leadership through to developers. I have been blown away by developers leading the charge to create innovative new tools for accountability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Many will rightly point to 2023 as a year of AI, and it certainly was that. But what has really struck me in 2023 were the incremental, often less headline-grabbing changes, that have made developers’ lives easier and unlocked so much innovation. Kubernetes has continued to mature this year, going ‘under the hood’ in organization’s infrastructure and regularly used to support major use cases by large, enterprise-level businesses.
