Crafting new Linux schedulers with sched-ext, Rust and Ubuntu

In our ongoing exploration of Rust and Ubuntu, we delve into an experimental kernel project that leverages these technologies to create new schedulers for Linux. Playing around with CPU scheduling policies has always been a dream for many kernel hackers and OS enthusiasts. However, such material typically remains within the domain of a few core kernel developers with extensive years of experience.

What is a Kubernetes operator?

Operators take a real-world operations team’s knowledge, wisdom, and expertise, and codify it into a computer program that helps operating complex server applications like databases, messaging systems, or web applications. Operators provide implementations for operating applications that are testable and thus more reliable at runtime.

Easily monitor your Rocky Linux server using the Linux integration for Grafana Cloud

Rocky Linux is a community-driven, open source operating system that is backed by CIQ, the primary sponsor and support provider. This OS is a powerful alternative for those seeking a downstream, binary-compatible option to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). CIQ supports Rocky Linux as a response to changes in the CentOS project, which is no longer maintained as a stable downstream clone of RHEL.

Preview Confidential AI with Ubuntu Confidential VMs and Nvidia H100 GPUs on Microsoft Azure

With Ubuntu confidential AI on Azure, businesses can undertake various tasks including ML training, inference, confidential multi-party data analytics, and federated learning with confidence. The effectiveness of AI models depends heavily on having access to large amounts of good quality data. While using publicly available datasets has its place, for tasks like medical diagnosis or financial risk assessment, we need access to private data during both training and inference.
