Syslog is an event logging standard that lets almost any device or application send data about status, events, diagnostics, and more. It’s commonly used by network and storage devices to ship observability data to analytics platforms and SIEMs in order to support and secure the enterprise. Syslog is an excellent lightweight protocol to get telemetry from small scale devices.

8 September 2022- Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, announces today the release of Charmed Kubeflow 1.6, an end-to-end MLOps platform with optimised complex model training capabilities. Charmed Kubeflow is Canonical’s enterprise-ready distribution of Kubeflow, an open-source machine learning toolkit designed for use with Kubernetes. Charmed Kubeflow 1.6 follows the same release cadence as the Kubeflow upstream project.

I’m not going to lie, I have a strong hatred towards the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF). There are a lot of reasons mainly having to do with having to support BPF on a network monitoring tool. There’s also the challenge of writing BPF filters and the weird way they work. So when I first heard about eBPF, I was more than a little reluctant to be excited. As I dug in further, I became much more excited about the technology and the benefits it can bring. So, what is eBPF then?

The last few years have brought immense change in telco technology adoption trends, with the introduction of 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, and mobile edge computing.

Running or operating applications requires several tasks throughout their lifecycle: scaling instances, checking the health, integrating with other applications, running backups, and applying updates – to name a few examples. It’s a time and labour-intensive process. To automate these tasks, developers can implement scripts for repeated execution. This is where the software operator comes in.

The Canonical Kubernetes team is delighted to announce that Canonical Kubernetes 1.25 is now generally available, with Charmed Kubernetes joining our Microk8s release last week, following the release of upstream Kubernetes on 23 August. We consistently follow the upstream release cadence to provide our users and customers with the latest improvements and fixes, together with security maintenance and enterprise support for Kubernetes on Ubuntu.

Software operators are steadily revolutionising how we deploy and run complex distributed systems. They offer the promise of low-intervention, self-driving software – ideally leading to service reliability gains and better uptime. For an introduction to Kubernetes operators, check out our introductory webinar or download our guide to Kubernetes operators.

Encryption is key to protecting sensitive data. There are several methodologies using different cryptographic algorithms to convert plain text into cipher text. Navigating multiple methodologies and algorithms creates a complex, labour-intensive process for teams evaluating the cryptographic services offered within software components.
