What is a telco cloud?

Telecommunications companies (telcos) are well on their way to transforming their infrastructure from the legacy, unadaptable, complex network of dedicated hardware from yesteryears to agile, modular and scalable software-defined systems running on common off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. Within this space, the current trend, driven by 5G deployments, is to complement tried and tested network function virtualisation (NFV) infrastructure with cloud-native network functions (CNFs).

Generative AI with Ubuntu on AWS. Part II: Text generation

In our previous post, we discussed how to generate Images using Stable Diffusion on AWS.

Using eBPF to Debug eBPF

In one of our latest posts, StackState Co-Founder Mark Bakker described how eBPF revolutionizes observability and how StackState’s agents rely heavily on eBPF to capture and analyze the data moving through your cluster. Today, we’re looking at an example where our eBPF code failed and — by diving deep into the intricacies of eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel — share the tale of how we fixed it using even more eBPF.

Critical Platform Engineering Metrics: KPIs that Matter for Success

Platform engineering metrics and/or platform engineering KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) can help us measure the success of this evolving approach and its impact on DevOps. According to our 2024 State of DevOps Report: The Evolution of Platform Engineering — 43% of organizations report that they have had a platform team from 3-5 years already. With this maturity, it’s important to measure what’s working and what isn’t working using the same indicators of success across the board.

Ubuntu AI | S2E4 | AI on public cloud: what should you know?

Weka report from 2024 showed that 47% of respondents will use the public cloud as the primary place to develop their machine learning projects. This is a result of a correlation of factors which include the need for compute power, easy scalability, and the ability to utilise existing infrastructure already in place on both hybrid clouds and public clouds. Join us to talk more about AI on the public cloud: what are the main benefits and what are the best practices an organisation could implement in order to easier adopt AI and leverage the most the public clouds.
