Matter on Ubuntu: getting started with the standard for smart home devices

Canonical joined the Connectivity Standards Alliance last year to lead the charge for Linux in the smart home. The Matter standard is a particular focus for us. Its secure design and open ecosystem align well with Ubuntu’s own values of security and openness. Ubuntu Core and Matter make for a powerful pair. Ubuntu Core’s containerisation makes it a highly secure OS that pairs well with the highly secure protocol.

Overcoming Kubernetes Monitoring Challenges with Observability

At Logz.io, we’re seeing a very fast pace of adoption for Kubernetes–at this point, it’s even outpacing cloud adoption, with companies running on-prem fully adopting Kubernetes in production. Why are companies going in this direction? Kubernetes provides additional layers of abstraction, which helps create business agility and flexibility for deploying critical applications. At the same time, those abstraction layers create additional complexity for observability.

How Monitoring as Code Reduces the Time to Detect and Resolve Issues

A web application or an API breaking is a matter of when, not if. Whether the cause is buggy code making it to production or infrastructure failing to support the software built upon it, incidents of varying severity are the norm rather than the exception, appearing frequently enough that the industry has coined the terms Mean Time To Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR).

Transforming Monitoring with a Machine Learning-First Approach

Unlocking the full potential of monitoring through ML integration, anomaly detection, and innovative scoring engines. Machine Learning has been making waves in various industries, but its adoption in the monitoring and observability space has been slower than expected. Many “ML” features remain gimmicky and do not provide actual real world value to users that encourages their further use.

4 Elements to Create an Effective IT Automation Strategy

As more and more organizations undergo digital transformation, IT automation is becoming more important and essential to implement. A report by Smartsheet found that more than 40% of those surveyed spend about a quarter of their time working on repetitive tasks, and almost 70% of them say that automation’s biggest opportunity would be that it significantly reduces the amount of time spent on these tasks.
