At Logz.io, we are always keeping a close eye on the most widely-used and favorite open source monitoring tools among the developer community. This is why we announced the Early Access for our Infrastructure Monitoring product based on open source grafana at this time last year. After a successful GA and a year of strong adoption among new and existing customers, I’m thrilled to announce a huge milestone for the product: Early Access for Prometheus-as-a-service!
Another noteworthy fact of this Kubernetes 1.20 release is that it brings 43 enhancements, up from 34 in 1.19. Of those 43 enhancements, 11 are graduating to Stable, 15 are completely new, and 17 are existing features that keep improving. So many enhancements means that they are smaller in scope. Kubernetes 1.20 is a healthy house cleaning event with a lot of small user-friendly changes.

Today, AWS announced another major feature to the Lambda platform: the option to package your code and dependencies as container images. The advantage of this capability is that it makes it easier for enterprise users to use a consistent set of tools for security scanning, code signing, and more. It also raises the maximum code package size for a function to a whopping 10GB.
CNCF’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the most important event for Kubernetes adopters and technologists. The first KubeCon, which took place in San Francisco in November 2015, gathered around 500 developers and early adopters to discuss the technology and its future.

Heroku and AWS (Amazon Web Services) are the two most commonly used cloud services in present times. It lets a business deploy, monitor, and scale mobile and web applications.
