Last month, AWS announced an initiative called Open Distro for Elasticsearch. Since then, there has been a lot of debate as to what this move means for the future of the ELK Stack and the community. What are the motives behind this move? Does this split actually signify a fork?

Today we launched a new open source project called k3OS. K3OS is a Linux distro built for the sole purpose of running Kubernetes clusters. In fact, it is a Linux distro and the k3s Kubernetes distro in one! As soon as you boot up a k3OS node, you have Kubernetes up and running. When you boot up multiple k3OS nodes, they form a Kubernetes cluster. K3OS is perhaps the easiest way to stand up Kubernetes clusters on any server.

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to instrument Java code to expose application metrics using JMX monitoring. Following the code examples, you can monitor the availability, health and performance of your Java application. Java 1.5 introduced JMX – Java Management eXtensions – which is a standard way to instrument code in the JRE world.

The Trade Desk provides a self-service, cloud-based platform for buyers of online advertising. Since its founding in 2009, TTD has grown into a publicly traded company with more than 900 employees and a market cap of $8.89 billion. The company recently moved from an old monitoring system based on Nagios, Graphite, and a number of homegrown pieces of software, to something more standard, based on Prometheus.

Mattermost and Slack are tools that increase team productivity through workplace messaging. Both platforms help companies communicate faster, solve problems in less time, and bring new employees up to speed quickly. For many privacy-conscious organizations that have global teams, strict security requirements, or a team of developers that is continuously looking for ways to accelerate workflows, Slack falls flat.

We are releasing a recommended security update via Mattermost Team Edition 5.9.1, 5.8.2 and 4.10.9 (ESR) and Mattermost Enterprise Edition 5.9.1, 5.8.2 and 4.10.9 (ESR). This security update addresses a high-level vulnerability discovered during a security research review by Leandro Chaves.
