Ninjas are known for their stealth and agility, skills that take much practice and study to master. They are never satisfied with their current abilities and always seek to improve. Those noble aspirations are not limited to secret warriors. In the current climate, IT leaders are also busy adding new capabilities to their skillset. In my IT Experience Podcast, I regularly sit-down with IT pros who have valuable advice for their peers.
As you may know, InfluxDB is available in multiple forms, including InfluxDB Open Source and InfluxDB Cloud. Customers will sometimes ask us, “If I’m using InfluxDB Cloud, is there any reason I should also consider using InfluxDB open source?” It’s a fair question.
I’ve been primarily a Javascript developer for a long time now, it’s been my go-to language for the better part of a decade now, I even wrote a post on how to implement observability in a traditional Node.js application.

As an IT admin, you’re responsible for scanning and tracking your IP resources to ensure that network devices and end users can be allocated unique IP addresses to access your network.
The CNCF’s KubeCon North America 2020 is the premier event for adopters and technologists to learn about and work with the Kubernetes community—and it’s coming up in just a few days. With so much to do and learn within a short period of time, it can be challenging to know where to focus your time. Now that we’re living in an age of all-virtual conferences, that challenge has only increased.
Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that minimizes latency by caching your content on AWS edge locations around the world. With CloudFront real-time logging, you can understand how efficiently CloudFront is distributing your content and responding to requests.

George Romero’s zombie classic, Dawn of the Dead, is the perfect analogy for a lot like the DevOps experience. Your cluster of services is like your Monroeville Mall.
