Navigating the 5G Edge - Xhaul, Slicing and MEC

5G architectures are groundbreaking on several fronts.  Disaggregated RAN, virtualized core, edge cloud capabilities, and network slicing can all be combined to address an entirely new generation of use cases that create opportunities for disruptive operators to gain revenue and market share.      Most of these new technologies must be deployed very close to the customer network edge and require a nimble toolkit of fronthaul transport solutions, MEC solutions, and network slicing orchestration across all components.  This session will discuss these new ‘edge-related’ capabilities and how they can work together to maximize mobile operator differentiation.

Cloud 66 Feature Highlight: Application Update Lockdown

Application Update Lockdown allows you to control your deployments. Ask a team member or your client to sign-off your project before deploying to the production environment. By default, AUL is not active, and anyone with the proper permissions can deploy the application. However, you can change the default setting to one of the other two options: Approval from Anyone, or Approval from specific Team Member(s).

What Is Topology?

Topology is a multilayered map showing how everything in the IT environment is related. It's similar to Google Maps, which gives you a bird's eye view into an area and how everything is interconnected. Also, in Google Maps, you can see how traffic is flowing and which intersections may be causing bottlenecks. A view into topology allows similar visibility. You can see how components of an IT system are laid out to interact with each other.

Change is Inevitable: Just Ask GitLab, Buildkite, GitHub, Jenkins, Evolven, and More

If memory serves (it was over 20 years ago), that’s what the free t-shirt that Microsoft gave me for being an official Windows 98 beta tester said. And yes, being a beta volunteer required me to haul my desktop PC to Redmond, WA (from Seattle)…because…I guess that’s how it was done back then? I remember they gave us pizza, and I needed to install more RAM. As I said before, it was a while ago; however, the whole “change is inevitable” thing is still valid today.

Windows containers on Kubernetes with MicroK8s

Kubernetes orchestrates clusters of machines to run container-based workloads. Building on the success of the container-based development model, it provides the tools to operate containers reliably at scale. The container-based development methodology is popular outside just the realm of open source and Linux though.
