Optical Networking / DWDM Basics

Optical networking delivers the distance, bandwidth scalability, resiliency, and manageability that broadband networks require. You're invited to a special session from Ribbon on Tuesday, December 15th where we will review optical networking technology and basics and explain how optical networks solve reachability, survivability, bandwidth growth, and maintenance challenges for broadband services. What problems do optical networks solve? What are the major piece parts and important vocabulary? What do I have to think about when deploying? Any cool stuff on the market I should be aware of?

Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu: 2020 roundup

We’re almost there, 2021 is just around the corner. Like many others, we at Canonical have a deep appreciation for all things Raspberry Pi. We see the good they do and the joy they bring and can’t help but be impressed. This year marks the beginning of a stronger collaboration between the folks at Raspberry Pi and us at Canonical. We are by no means done and still have a long way to go. But we have made strides in the right direction.

HTTP Keep-Alive, Pipelining, Multiplexing and Connection Pooling

Persistent connections allow HAProxy to optimize resource usage, lower latency on both the client and server side, and support connection pooling. HTTP is a layer 7 protocol that’s transmitted over a TCP connection. It works in a client-server model and follows the request-response paradigm, which means that a client sends a request to a server, which then replies with a response. From this statement, you can infer two different ways of operating.

Sips - "Monolith to Microservices: The Developer Experience - 'It's so Complicated!'"

Coffee and Containers "Sips" are short clips from the regular Coffee and Containers web series. By 2022, IDC predicts that 90% of all new apps will feature a microservices architecture. Some of the drivers behind that are the improved ability to design, debug, update and leverage third-party code, and more. However, transitioning an existing application from a traditional monolith architecture to microservices architecture can be very challenging. How do we get started down the microservices path?
