A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) contains all relevant information about the hardware and software components used across an organization’s IT environment. Even more important, a CMDB defines the relationships and interdependencies between those assets. This makes it easy to understand, manage and report on the service being delivered.
Recent Linux kernel releases are coming weaponized with built-in instrumentation framework that has its roots in what historically was approached as BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) – a very efficient network packet filtering mechanism which aims to avoid unnecessary user space allocations and operate on packet’s data directly in kernel land. The most familiar application of BPF powers is related to filter expressions used in tcpdump tool.
Rapitt built their partner store app on top of Mattermost to create a platform that facilitates local commerce. Rapitt digitally connects local business owners with customers to enable specific use cases and transactions—like storing items for a period of time (e.g., a suitcase) and serving as a key-handling solution (e.g., Airbnb hosts can use Rapitt to provide keys to guests).
