Ubuntu is a Linux distribution based on Debian Linux that’s mostly composed of open-source and free software. Released in three options – servers, desktop computers and Internet of Things devices. Ubuntu is highly popular, reliable and updated every 6 months, with a long-term support version released every two years. Multiple Ubuntu versions allow users to choose whether to stick with the long-term support version or the recently updated one.

AWS Lambda Function URLs make it even easier to create AWS Lambda functions that can be accessed and triggered by using HTTP/S requests, which is key for building serverless applications that are connected to and invoked from the web. Now you can generate a URL in one click that points to a specified Lambda function. Then, any HTTP/S request that a Function URL receives will trigger the Lambda function it’s assigned to.

As more organizations adopt cloud-based services like Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), it becomes increasingly important to monitor and manage the performance and reliability of these services.

In this blog post, we will explore how RFID works and where it is used, with a particular focus on its role in inventory tracking.

I see it daily in my role, IT organizations are paying for best-of-breed monitoring tools but struggle to tie the pieces together between these siloed systems. The wound of these silos is further punctured when incidents arise. Incidents are costly for so many reasons, like wasted company resources, potential revenue loss, customer satisfaction, employee burnout, etc. This is exactly why BigPanda exists, to apply AI to the complex problems IT operations, NOC, SRE, and DevOps teams face daily.
