Ceph for Enterprise

In this webinar, we review the storage challenges faced by Enterprises, and how Ceph can solve many of them. We discuss how a single Ceph cluster can address block, file and object storage needs, and compliment proprietary and public cloud solutions. We will also demonstrate some of the key features of Ceph that provide solutions for disaster recovery and compliance requirements.

Finserv hybrid cloud strategy - it starts with Linux

The future of financial services technology infrastructure is hybrid multi-cloud. Hybrid multi-cloud architecture provides financial institutions flexibility, portability, interoperability, and the control needed to consistently deploy and manage enterprise applications and workloads. By adopting hybrid cloud, finservs realise the benefits of effective cloud cost management, security, compliance, efficiency and agility. The hybrid cloud strategy starts with choosing the right enterprise Linux.

Code coverage for eBPF programs

I bet we all have heard so much about eBPF in recent years. Data shows that eBPF is quickly becoming the first choice for implementing tracing and security applications, and Elastic is also working relentlessly on supercharging our security solutions (and more) with eBPF. However, one major challenge is that the eBPF ecosystem lacks tooling to make developers' lives easier. eBPF programs are written in C but compiled for a specific ISA later executed by the eBPF Virtual Machine.

Open source cloud platform: meet OpenStack

Are you looking for an open source cloud platform and you don’t know where to start? Are you getting lost in all the independent rankings and cloud platform comparison pages? Try OpenStack and get your open source cloud platform up and running today. OpenStack works at any scale: from a single workstation to thousands of nodes and installs in minutes. Sounds impossible? Give it a try or continue reading to explore where is it coming from.

Linux Server Management in 2022

Linux server management is an integration of cybersecurity and business objectives. Linux server management at scale is a vastly different activity from interacting with a terminal on one machine. The best Linux server management tools universally offer a server management GUI within a web browser. Implementation details matter, especially in a pay-for-compute world. Sysadmin tools that don’t have a lightweight footprint increase overall compute costs.

The Impact of CVE-2022-0185 Linux Kernel Vulnerability on Popular Kubernetes Engines

Last week, a critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2022-0185 was disclosed, affecting Linux kernel versions 5.1 to 5.16.1. The security vulnerability is an integer underflow in the Filesystem Context module that allows a local attacker to run arbitrary code in the context of the kernel, thus leading to privilege escalation, container environment escape, or denial of service.

Single-command Docker environments on any machine with Multipass

Multipass exists to bring Ubuntu-based development to the operating system of your choice. Whether you prefer the GUI of macOS (even on M1), Windows or any other Linux, the unmatched experience of developing software on Ubuntu is there at your fingertips, just one “multipass launch” away. Today, the Multipass team is delighted to enhance this experience for developers working with containerised applications!

Model driven observability with Prometheus, Alertmanager, Grafana and Loki

The end-to-end monitoring of complex software systems is difficult, toil-intensive and error-prone. Developers, SREs and Platform teams must continuously invest effort in setting up and maintaining the monitoring setups that underpin the observability of their systems, or accept the risk of being unaware of ongoing issues and their impact on end users. Enter model-driven observability powered by Juju!

Understanding bare metal Kubernetes

Bare metal Kubernetes is a powerful set of technologies that builds on the best ideas behind the public and private cloud, yet abstracts away some toilsome aspects related to virtualisation management and networking. For operators and users, it provides significant benefits, making it easier and faster to ship and maintain complex, distributed applications.
