A microservices catalog is only useful if you are confident that anything stored in it is fully accurate and that the information will not become outdated. How can you be certain that your catalog stays up-to-date in the future? Should you look for an asset in the catalog and, despite finding it there, also double-check GitHub? The service catalog is supposed to be your single source of truth. The purpose is defeated if you have to look for what you need in multiple different places.

Ubuntu KVM — an industry-leading hypervisor — extends its reach to AI/ML applications and graphics-intensive applications with native support for NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) software products, including NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) and NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS). Canonical has been working closely with NVIDIA to ensure frictionless integration and a best-in-class user experience.

In this blog post, I will show you how easy it is to move a single Azure Blob or even select mutlipe or the complete container and move those blobs from any storage tiering to another with just a few clicks. There are cost benefits moving your Azure Blobs down to a lower Storage Tier, Hot being the most expensive, with a cool a little bit cheaper, and the Archive Blob Tier having the lowest cost option. For most Azure Storage Cost saving ideas, we cover some in another blog.

Digital data is everywhere, and its sheer volume and ambiguity often make it challenging for us humans to analyze. That’s why we use a special branch of AI called artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) to reveal the deeper structure of copious data. AIOps sits at the intersection of big data and machine learning to improve the efficiency of IT operations.

Summer has passed and it’s time for fall - cue transitioning leaves, cozy blankets, and all the pumpkin-themed things your heart could ever desire. As we move into the new season, we are excited to announce our fall product releases across Moogsoft Cloud that enable engineers to detect incidents earlier, resolve them faster, and work as a team across the entire lifecycle. Moogsoft’s Fall product updates enable you to: … and so much more! Read on for deeper details.

Whether you have two or two dozen developers working on features for your product, updates can introduce bugs or unwanted changes. Therefore, before merging a feature branch to production, you can review all the changes with our preview deployment feature. It allows you and your team to quickly and easily check that the latest changes work as desired. It also allows you to share feedback and helps prevent “it worked on my machine” scenarios.

You’ve probably been using Puppet Forge modules to manage bits in your infrastructure for years. If you’re like most of us, you’ve gradually added more modules and maybe you’ve lost track of exactly what some of them do and on what nodes they’re declared. You may even suspect that you have modules installed that you haven’t actually used in years…. only you’re not quite certain which modules those might be. I am certainly guilty of this!

Like most tech companies, we use an on-call rota and various alerting tools. We do this to respond to incidents before they’re reported. Proactively identifying issues and communicating to customers helps us provide great experiences and fosters trust. Internally, we’ve been using these alerting tools in tandem with our auto-create incidents feature. We’ve found that it’s made responding to the pager much smoother - it’s one less thing to do when you get paged at 2am.

From entertainment to security, automation is now pervasive. Intelligent devices are transforming our homes while enriching our lives, making them more efficient, productive and environmentally friendly. Most embedded devices run Linux, and their number is poised to keep growing.
