As AI and machine learning workloads continue to grow in complexity and size, the need for efficient and scalable infrastructure becomes more important than ever. In this tutorial, I will show you how to deploy AI applications on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with Karpenter from scratch, leveraging GPU resources for high-performance computing.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents a new frontier for transformative productivity. With over 300,000 customers worldwide harnessing our data-driven solutions, SolarWinds is well-positioned to leverage AI to enrich the lives of the IT professionals we serve. But for this exciting technology to yield real value over time, it’s crucial to build it sustainably.

You may have heard the phrase “from the edge to the cloud” but what does it really mean, how can your organization take advantage of it, and how can HPE and OpsRamp, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, help? Edge to cloud refers to the fact that enterprise data is no longer confined to the traditional data center. It is being generated and processed at the edge in ever-increasing amounts, then stored in the cloud, and used by an increasingly distributed global workforce.

Canonical recently announced the release of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, codenamed “Noble Numbat”. This update underscores Ubuntu’s ongoing commitment to enhancing performance and security, focusing on optimizing developer productivity. The latest version features an optimized Linux kernel 6.8 and significant system management upgrades as detailed in the release notes.

Kubernetes is very straightforward for deploying and managing stateless applications. Consequently, proper backups of the Kubernetes environment have often been postponed or neglected. Today, however, more and more applications running on Kubernetes are stateful, making backup and recovery solutions for these systems critical. Neglecting backup is risky: as applications become more complex and need to preserve their states, the challenges of recovering a setup increase.

Sometimes, the little things can make a big difference. We’ve added a new feature in Grafana Incident & Response Management (IRM) that lets you sync your Google Calendar out-of-office events with Grafana OnCall.

We are excited to announce an integration between ilert and Honeycomb, offering users an enhanced experience in observability and incident management.

Erik Peterson, founder and CTO at CloudZero, recently interviewed John-Cade “JC” Griffin to discuss how the CloudZero platform has influenced aspects of cloud financial management — such as engineering-led optimization — within his company. Some fascinating nuggets of wisdom emerged from the conversation — everything from how to answer those tricky cost questions every SaaS company struggles with to how to encourage engineers to start building with cost efficiency in mind.

The 1981 book Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard is widely read and cited within academic circles but also permeates popular culture, influencing films, literature, and art. His theories notably influenced the Wachowski siblings' The Matrix series, bringing some of his ideas into mainstream awareness.
