About a year and a half ago, I decided to take a different approach to setting up a Zephyr environment for a new project at Intercreate. Instead of using my trusty VMWare Workstation Linux VM, I opted for WSL2. I was curious to find out: Would hardware pass-through for debugging work reliably? Would all of the tooling dependencies be supported? What about build system performance?

Automating the monitoring process for a huge amount of servers, virtual machines, applications, services, private and public clouds is a main driver for users when they decide to use Icinga. In fact, monitoring large environments is not a new demand for us at all. We experienced this challenge in tandem with many corporations for many years.

Mainframes are the workhorses of many enterprise systems, known for their reliability and ability to handle high transaction volumes. However, as technology evolves, even these robust systems need upgrades to keep up with modern demands. A smooth mainframe upgrade isn’t just about upgrading the core system; it’s also about ensuring that the surrounding infrastructure, including messaging systems like IBM MQ, functions seamlessly during and after the upgrade.

What is vulnerability management and how to approach it from the IT asset management point of view.

Serverless is an incredible paradigm, but performance tuning sometimes feels like a black box. You have no control over the infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t optimize. In this post, let’s look at five ways to take serverless performance to the next level.

As organizations in the public sector continue to undergo what Deloitte has called a “radical transformation” and embrace new, innovative technologies, they’re seeing improvements in everything from agility to customer experience. And, the good news is that innovation tends to breed more innovation, meaning the digital transformation of the last two decades laid the groundwork for the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI).

The FinOps Foundation states that “For the first time, Reducing waste was the highest key priority for FinOps practitioners across all spending tiers. This may be influenced by macroeconomic trends, with businesses looking for ways to reduce spending without reducing the value they are getting from their cloud investments.”

Imagine you’re a detective trying to solve a crime, but all the evidence is invisible. Sounds impossible, right? That’s exactly what it’s like trying to debug a Java application without proper logging. Java logging is your magnifying glass, your fingerprint kit, and your trusty notepad all rolled into one. It’s the unsung hero that helps you understand what’s going on under the hood of your application. But logging isn’t just about catching bugs.
