Linux server monitoring: Long story short

Servers are almost inseparable from any IT infrastructure. Linux is the most compatible, open source operating system for servers because of its flexibility, consistency, and security. Most Linux servers are set up with any of these variants of Linux OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), or Ubuntu. Basic troubleshooting of a Linux server’s primary metrics can be easily done using the built-in commands.

An Introduction to Syslog

Syslog is an event logging standard that lets almost any device or application send data about status, events, diagnostics, and more. It’s commonly used by network and storage devices to ship observability data to analytics platforms and SIEMs in order to support and secure the enterprise. Syslog is an excellent lightweight protocol to get telemetry from small scale devices.

Charmed Kubeflow 1.6 follows the same release cadence as the Kubeflow upstream project.

Best practices to publish open-source software operators

Running or operating applications requires several tasks throughout their lifecycle: scaling instances, checking the health, integrating with other applications, running backups, and applying updates – to name a few examples. It’s a time and labour-intensive process. To automate these tasks, developers can implement scripts for repeated execution. This is where the software operator comes in.

Canonical Kubernetes 1.25 is now generally available

The Canonical Kubernetes team is delighted to announce that Canonical Kubernetes 1.25 is now generally available, with Charmed Kubernetes joining our Microk8s release last week, following the release of upstream Kubernetes on 23 August. We consistently follow the upstream release cadence to provide our users and customers with the latest improvements and fixes, together with security maintenance and enterprise support for Kubernetes on Ubuntu.

FIPS Certified vs FIPS Compliant #security #fips #development

How are FIPS Certified and FIPS Compliant implementations different? What makes the most sense for your organisation? The answer may surprise you. As consumers, we are prone to accept something that’s certified as best-in-class. When it comes to FIPS, which offering provides the best security posture?
