Rancher is the enterprise computing platform to run Kubernetes on-premises, in the cloud and at the edge. It’s an excellent platform to get started with containers or for those who are struggling to scale up their Kubernetes operations in production. However, in a world increasingly dominated by public infrastructure providers like Google Cloud, it’s reasonable to ask how Rancher adds value to services like Google’s Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Today, 10/04/2020, new robotics pages went live on ubuntu.com. We want to show our involvement, our stance and our support for ROS and robotics. These three pages cover what we do in the robotics space, Canonical’s involvement with ROS and Open Robotics, and the relevance of community in the field of robotics. Our intention is to be another entry point for new users to involve themselves and to enable them to build robots with ROs on Ubuntu.

What distributed development teams need is this: A ‘single source of truth’ for software assets, one that is available to any team or individual, anywhere on the planet, whilst maintaining the highest levels of performance for all.

As a system administrator, you will need to monitor your containers for a wide array of reasons. Between analyzing the health of your containers, avoiding resource constraints, and collecting, parsing, and visualizing data, one could easily get lost.

In a typical enterprise, there would be multiple Azure subscriptions managed across various tenants. Each tenant would have multiple subscriptions for respective environments. This blog focuses on managing the multiple Azure Subscriptions with Serverless360. Let us take a simple scenario to have a better understanding of how Serverless360 overcome the challenges faced in the Azure portal with the help of Composite Application.

Editor’s note: Rancher Labs’ William Jimenez provides an introduction to CIS Scan. Then Saiyam Pathak takes over with a hands-on demo. Cluster security is critical to any successful Kubernetes strategy. Recent research by AimPoint revealed that 44 percent of respondents had delayed application production due to security concerns around Kubernetes containers. Yet securing Kubernetes is a complex machine with many moving parts, integrations and knobs and levers.

Often, when companies are new to Amazon Web Services (AWS), they aren’t focused much on the cost. They’re more likely fixated on taking advantage of the scalability and flexibility offered by the cloud. As a company’s AWS cloud infrastructure grows, it will find that its cloud costs grow as well. As the number of AWS accounts increases over time, there’s a higher chance of overspending on unnecessary cloud resources.

Remote pair programming is an Extreme Programming (XP) methodology which is a part of the Agile software development model. It takes the principle of pair programming to the remote workplace. Pair programming leads to higher quality code and fewer bugs by making continuous code reviews and synchronous collaboration possible. In traditional pair programming, two programmers sit side by side in front of the same computer.

This is a guest blog by Trent R.Hein, Co-CEO of Rule 4. Once in a while an opportunity comes along that brings out our inner geek like no other, which is what happened when Canonical asked if we’d be willing to review the overall cybersecurity model of Ubuntu Core and its ecosystem.
