The enterprise Kubernetes management space has definitely become a lot more crowded over the past two years as traditional vendors and startups alike attempt to grab a slice of this massive market. The increasingly competitive vendor landscape makes Forrester’s recent recognition of Rancher Labs that much more meaningful.
Many of us hate our backup environments. That’s because backups kind of suck, even with a backup product as great as IBM Spectrum Protect. As I said in another post, it’s the thing that everyone needs, but no one cares about, and most definitely can make your life crappy. Ask any backup admin, and I know they’ll agree. Go ahead; I’ll wait. Yep, they said the same thing, didn’t they?

Detect and stop fake web crawlers using HAProxy Enterprise’s Verify Crawler add-on. How your website ranks on Google can have a substantial impact on the number of visitors you receive, which can ultimately make or break the success of your online business. To keep search results fresh, Google and other search engines deploy programs called web crawlers that scan and index the Internet at a regular interval, registering new and updated content.
In this post, we learn how to use the reduce(), findColumn(), and findRecord() Flux functions to perform custom aggregations with InfluxDB. This TL;DR assumes that you have either registered for an InfluxDB Cloud account – registering for a free account is the easiest way to get started with InfluxDB – or installed InfluxDB 2.0 OSS. In order to easily demonstrate how these functions work, let’s use the array.from() function to build an ad hoc table to use in the query.
From a security breach to a complete system outage, when an incident occurs and your network or service is impacted, it’s typically the result of a chain of events. A problem with one service has impacted another service, and so on until finally, you’re facing a problem that’s compromising availability and damaging your customer experience. In the event of a serious incident, your team’s immediate response is to focus on identifying the root cause and restoring service.
Maintaining legacy applications can be an affliction that saps up energy, time, and resources. Application modernization remains fashionable and involves refactoring, re-purposing, or consolidating legacy software to align it more closely with current business needs and add business value. Traditional methods for modernizing applications include rewriting existing application code to a more modern programming language to salvage parts of the application that might still have value.

Spot by NetApp is excited to announce our designation as an AWS Outposts Ready Partner, as part of the (Amazon Web Services) AWS Service Ready Program. Ocean by Spot can now be deployed on AWS Outposts, bringing the serverless container experience to workloads that require the performance, low latency and availability of on-premise.
One of the defining features of snaps is their strong security. Snaps are designed to run isolated from the underlying system, with granular control and access to specific resources made possible through a mechanism of interfaces. Think of it as a virtual USB cable – an interface connects a plug with a slot. Security and privacy conscious users will certainly be interested in knowing more about their snaps – what they can do and which resources they need at runtime.
