IN THIS ISSUE:
Bloonix
Integrate all the tools you need to monitor large IT infrastructures 24x7 to prevent failures.
End-to-End Monitoring
Your web server is running perfectly according to Nagios, but is it delivering the intended user experience? End-to-end monitoring lets you know whether your application is performing as expected.
Prometheus
If you use Prometheus as a time series database, you will know that the more data it stores, the slower it becomes. Thanos, Cortex, Mimir, and M3DB set out to solve this problem in totally different ways. We reveal the candidates' strengths and weaknesses.
Automating Microsoft Dev Box
Explore automation techniques for the Azure Dev Box cloud service.
Talos
In the world of container virtualization, the operating systems of compute nodes are largely degraded to non-player characters that can do little more than start and stop containers. This lean Linux distribution for Kubernetes takes the game to the extreme and offers a system that weighs in at less than 90MB.
Kubeflow
We walk you through a Kubernetes setup for AI development on an AWS account.
mitmproxy
This HTTPS proxy puts interactive traffic analysis in your hands.
Podman Quadlets
Running rootless containers is easy with Podman. With quadlet files, these containers are seamlessly integrated into systemd services.
Julia
This technical programming language is fast becoming a favorite with scientists and engineers of all stripes, but it is also well suited to form the backbone of interactive websites that explain these science and engineering concepts.
Attack Surface Management
The tools used in ASM help identify attack surfaces more precisely and respond to changes in risk situations.
Purdue Model
Abstract a complex corporate network into a tangible image of individual components that simplifies the planning and implementation of protection campaigns, promotes communication, and assists in the distribution of responsibilities.
Windows Hardware Diagnostics
Seven tools for hardware diagnostics on Windows: one Windows on-board tool, five free tools, and a commercial tool.
Keras
A great way to start writing code with AI is to use this open source, easy-to-learn library that can use multiple frameworks.
Performance Dojo
Unveil the little-known superpowers of microSD cards.
