Kubernetes backups just got easier with the CloudCasa charm from Catalogic

Apr 29, 2024 By Michael C. Jaeger In Canonical
Kubernetes is very straightforward for deploying and managing stateless applications. Consequently, proper backups of the Kubernetes environment have often been postponed or neglected. Today, however, more and more applications running on Kubernetes are stateful, making backup and recovery solutions for these systems critical. Neglecting backup is risky: as applications become more complex and need to preserve their states, the challenges of recovering a setup increase.

Managed Cloud Services: when outsourcing your operations is the most cost-effective choice

Apr 17, 2024 By agmatei In Canonical
Clouds, be they private or public, surprisingly remain one of the most DIY-favouring markets. Perhaps due to the nebulous and increasingly powerful technologies, a series of myths, or even unnecessary egos, the majority of non-tech-centric enterprises (meaning, companies whose primary business scope rests outside the realm of IT software and hardware) still try to build and nurture in-house cloud management teams, without considering outsourcing even part of their workload.

AI on Public Cloud with Open Source

Apr 3, 2024 By Canonical In Canonical
AI is at the heart of a revolution in the technology space. Organisations from all industries are looking for ways to put AI to work. Once they have finalised use case assessment, their next question is typically related to the environment they will use to develop and deploy their AI initiatives. They often prefer the public clouds as an initial environment, because of the computing power and ability to scale as projects mature. In addition to the infrastructure, enterprises need software where they can develop and deploy the machine learning models.

Apr 3, 2024 By Tytus Kurek In Canonical
One of the biggest challenges that cloud service providers (CSPs) face these days is to deliver an extension of the public cloud they host to a small-scale piece of infrastructure that runs on customers’ premises. While the world’s tech giants, such as Amazon or Azure, have developed their own solutions for this purpose, many smaller, regional CSPs rely on open source projects like OpenStack instead.=
