It’s been a busy year at Gremlin! We released two new experiments, added an entirely new onboarding process and features for AWS users, added a brand new Test Suite and Detected Risks, and made many UI improvements to our web app. We beefed up our agents with more enterprise capabilities, including support for large Kubernetes clusters and systems with over 64 CPUs, improved experiment behaviors, improved dependency detection, and per-team Private Network Integrations.

This guide provides instructions for setting up an environment for developing, debugging, and programming embedded systems firmware in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). WSL2 provides a convenient and stable Linux development environment for working on embedded systems firmware. If you’re curious about toolchain performance, check out this comparison of firmware development environments, but the summary is that WSL2 is about 2x the speed of Windows and similar to “bare metal” Linux.

Kubecon North America took place in Salt Lake City, Utah, from November 12 to 15, and the SolarWinds team was there to showcase updates to our SolarWinds Observability dashboards and join in the conversation. Here are five key talking points from the event.
