You may have encountered a situation where you must do some backend job without user intervention. For example, in an IOT application, your application needs to receive frequently published data from devices or send scheduler values to devices. .NET provides background job libraries for such tasks. I will discuss one of the background libraries, Quartz.NET, with a coding example. I will break down Quartz for you with simple, practical examples.

In today’s digital landscape, businesses require robust and adaptable Network infrastructure that can handle hybrid environments and support a seamless digital experience. OpsRamp and Aruba have joined forces to deliver a comprehensive solution that addresses the challenges of multi-vendor network observability management and network observability providing enterprises with tools for visibility, control, and performance optimization across distributed environments.

If you’ve ever spent hours trying to figure out what went wrong in your code, you know how frustrating it can be without a clear trail to follow. Logs give you that trail, showing the steps your system took before something broke. Think of stack traces, they’re helpful for showing you where an error occurred. But they don’t always explain how it occurred. That’s where logs come into place.

The Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment highlights the paradox of determining a system's state without direct observation—an apt analogy for the challenges of observing cloud-native applications. These systems' complex, ephemeral, and distributed nature often makes them appear as black boxes. Coupled with the operational complexities of multi-cloud and hybrid environments, gaining a clear picture feels impossible.

We’re thrilled to share that the open source Yet Another CloudWatch Exporter (YACE) is now a prometheus-community project! This move represents an exciting milestone in YACE’s journey and validates the project’s contribution to the Prometheus ecosystem. Yace was started in 2018 by Thomas Peitz, who has overseen the dramatic evolution of the CloudWatch metrics exporter ever since.

Last year, Bitbucket Cloud introduced custom merge checks. This advanced feature allowed users to go beyond Bitbucket’s built-in branch restrictions and create customized merge criteria for pull requests. Now, we’re expanding this feature to better support large organizations with many repositories. As organizations scale, manually configuring checks at the repository level becomes tedious and prone to inconsistency.

Economically speaking, scale-ups deliver far greater value than their size suggests. Whilst they make up just 1% of SME firms, the ‘sub-sector’ accounts for 8% of SME employment and 22% of SME turnover. Nearly 1 million people are employed in scale-up companies and these businesses have a combined turnover of almost £500 billion. Scotland has just over 2,100 scale-ups, with a pipeline of another 1,000. The current turnover of these organisations totals just over £41bn.

More and more companies are now shifting to a cloud-native & microservices-based architecture. Having an application monitoring tool is critical in this world because you can’t just log into a machine and figure out what’s going wrong. We have spent years learning about application monitoring & observability. What are the key features an observability tool should have to enable fast resolution of issues. In our opinion, good observability tools should have.

Here’s how Anodot became a leader in the Visionary category with its game-changing vision in FinOps and cloud-saving insights. It wasn’t just recognition from the leading authority in the technology industry but the culmination of a journey fueled by our incredible team’s dedication to providing our customers with FinOps-centric innovation and AI proprietary data. This wasn’t just any victory but an acclaimed win forged by industry-led expert leaders at our company.

Every operating system has its quirks, and Linux security is no different. Whether you’re on Team Penguin or running mostly Windows boxes (or a bit of both), you’ll need to take different steps to manage security on different OSes. Like any OS, Linux security comes with its own peculiarities, pitfalls, and best practices.
