System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is an enterprise-level tool that allows IT administrators to manage software and updates on a large number of devices. However, sometimes users encounter an issue where the software center in SCCM cannot be loaded. This error can prevent users from accessing software, updates, and other features, causing frustration and productivity loss.

Welcome to this three-part blog series on real-time Linux. Throughout the series, we will assess the key features of a real-time system. We will understand how a real-time capable Linux kernel differs from mainline, and touch upon the performance trade-offs you should consider when choosing real-time versus a low-latency kernel, for instance.

5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology which is transforming the way we connect and communicate. With data transfer speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, 5G technology enables faster download and upload times, lower latency and a higher number of connected devices. Additionally, 5G networks will support a wider range of frequencies, including high and low bands, which will ensure wider coverage and greater reliability.

DevOps gained popularity in order to combat siloed workflows, decreased collaboration and a lack of visibility across the software development lifecycle. While establishing a culture of DevOps has helped teams collaborate better and deliver reliable software faster, DevOps teams don’t necessarily have someone specifically dedicated to developing systems that increase site reliability and performance. That’s where a site reliability engineer (SRE) comes into the picture.

In dynamic production environments, unpredictable traffic loads and frequent code changes can make it difficult for organizations to consistently optimize their cloud infrastructure, resulting in application performance issues, latency, and wasted cloud spend. Teams that manage large-scale cloud infrastructure deployments are often forced to tune their workloads’ configurations using a complicated mesh of script jobs—or worse, manual remediation by on-call engineers prompted by alerts.

Microservices architecture (often shortened to microservices) is an architectural style for developing applications. Microservices allow a large application to be separated into smaller independent parts, each having its own realm of responsibility. To serve a single user request, a microservices-based application can call on many internal microservices to compose its response. It is critical to track failures in microservice to take corrective actions and keep the business process ongoing.

Kinesis is an Amazon Web Services (AWS) product that collects, processes, and analyzes streaming data in real-time. It can process streaming video, audio, IoT data, application logs, and other data coming in from thousands of unique sources as it arrives, unlike technologies like Hadoop, which utilize batch processing (waiting for a complete dataset to arrive before processing and analyzing it).

As businesses grow, so does their need for scalable and secure data storage. For many companies, on-premises file shares have long been the preferred method of storing and sharing data. However, with the advent of cloud computing, more and more businesses are turning to cloud-based storage solutions like Azure File Storage. In this article, we will explore the challenges and solutions involved in migrating on-premises file shares to Azure File Storage.
