This week, the Multipass team announced a new version of the VM manager and local mini-cloud. Multipass makes it easy to run Linux virtual machines on Mac, Windows, and Linux hosts by providing a streamlined CLI that abstracts away the admin overhead of working with VMs. This update comes with some exciting new features, including enhanced networking and suspend capabilities on macOS, and the ability to authenticate clients, which allows Multipass to run as an unprivileged user.

Epinio takes developers from application to URL in one step. In this blog post, I’m going to tell you about the new Epinio extension for Docker Desktop, that allows you to run Epinio on your laptop. DevOps are very interested in the details of containerized workloads and Kubernetes especially, but for developers, the abstraction layer provided by Kubernetes might not be too relevant to their daily work.

Properly leveraging telemetry is a true game-changer for any IT department looking to optimize and stabilize its systems. Telemetry provides the first step to answering the all-important question, “What’s happening in my network?” It’s your eye into the inner workings of your system, giving you a view into how different components are performing.

You might be familiar with GameDays at this point. From watching our Introduction to GameDay webinar, viewing our Demo video, and reading our tutorial, you’ve probably learned that GameDays were created with the goal of increasing reliability by purposely creating major failures on a regular basis. Better yet, perhaps your own team has run a GameDay and learned something new about their services’ behavior during failure scenarios.

We are happy to announce that we launched Cloud 66 on the GitHub Marketplace. Our presence on GitHub Marketplace allows developers to deploy their code directly from their repository to their own servers on any cloud in minutes.

In this blog, we will go into the history of HPC and supercomputing where we will cover how it all started and how it developed into the HPC we see today. This blog is a part of a series of blogs where we will introduce you to the world of HPC.

Cloud migration is a complex process, and the more up-front planning you put into it, the more likely you’ll be able to avoid challenges and setbacks during execution. And yet, challenges and setbacks seem to be the norm, not the exception, with almost three-quarters (72%) of those surveyed stating that they’ve run into problems so big they were forced to move migrated applications back on premises or jump into firefighting mode to figure out how to fix them quickly.

Monitoring as code (MaC) is a shift in thinking that is now being increasingly adopted in software development. Knowing the significance of MaC and incorporating monitoring in the development process early on brings a great number of benefits for DevOps teams.

What separates an engineer fresh out of university from one who has been working in the field for several years? While specialized coding knowledge certainly plays a part, it’s the softer, more business-oriented skills that often set engineers apart from the pack. If an employee doesn’t take the time to develop skills for business in the engineering field, it could hinder their career growth over the long term.
