We are rapidly approaching the six-month mark of the COVID-19 global pandemic and expect to be living with its effects for the foreseeable future. While our Ribbon business has not been immune from this once in a lifetime public health crisis, together we have managed it very effectively and kept our customers first! This is largely due to the extraordinary efforts of our people, along with the quick actions and decisions we took to change our work model and carefully manage expenses.

In today’s economy, digital assets (applications, data, and processes) determine business success. Cloud-native applications are designed to iterate rapidly, creating rapid time-to-value for businesses. Organizations that are able to rapidly build and deploy their applications have significant competitive advantage.

Takehan Technologies builds, operates, and innovates software for a variety of European and North American businesses – such as those in online gaming and fintech. The Singapore-based software consultancy has decades of experience in the Asia Pacific region.

For our Cube module we use the ROLLUP SQL query to fetch all data from the database and then make a tree data structure out of the given result. This is how we make it a lot easier to render cubes dynamically.

Innovation. Scale. Power. These are just a few of the words used to describe the explosive impact that Kubernetes is having on the organizations leveraging it for their innovation efforts. Kubernetes gives organizations the ability to run Kubernetes clusters at scale across different cloud infrastructures and distributions. But as the number of clusters and workloads grow, it can be increasingly difficult to manage and create consistency across your organization’s digital footprint.

As network technology evolves, the SNMP world evolves with it. They create new network hardware that contains more and more OIDs to be able to stay updated on the status of more details of the product. This entails the need to automate the way to control every detail, doing it through the use of SNMP trap monitoring. An SNMP trap is a message sent by an SNMP device to a configurable IP address when there’s a change or an event on the device.

In our blog post on structuring Elasticsearch data with grok on ingest for faster analytics, we took a look at how to structure unstructured data on ingest (schema on write) to make sure your analytics run at near real time. Speed like that can help take your observability use cases to the next level. In this article, we’re going to build on what we learned by incrementally creating a new grok pattern from scratch!

This is the second in a three-post series themed around Ops-led DevOps, where I explore the relationship between observability and a set of software delivery lifecycle practices that support the adoption of DevOps principles and the transition from project to product centric ways of working. I started with Site Reliability Engineering, here I consider Value Stream Management (VSM) and I will finish with Continuous Delivery. Defining VSM Forrester defines VSM as.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2020 Virtual happened online, August 18-20. It was the first virtual KubeCon, due to the coronavirus pandemic. I was happy to attend, although this was the second straight virtual conference I’ve participated in that ran on Amsterdam time. I did make it up for the 4 AM Pacific time start, though, and I was ready to go. As I got settled in, in front of my laptop, I knew I would be missing the hallway track a lot.
