I recently started working at SUSE. Before joining SUSE, my Kubernetes experience included vanilla Kubernetes, AKS and EKS but mostly OpenShift and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management. I worked in technical pre-sales, so I knew about Rancher, K3s and RKE and their key features but I never spent time with them. When I joined SUSE, I started testing Rancher, Rancher Desktop, K3s, k3d and RKE2 and I had a great time with them. First things first, I will

When someone says a website is available, they mean that they can access that website. The application they’re trying to reach is up and working properly. High availability means that the website is up most of the time throughout the year. Companies can even put a percentage on this, striving for 100% availability, but typically getting somewhere a bit less, such as 99.9% or 99.99%.

Join any conversation about cybersecurity in Australia and the Essential Eight Maturity Model may well be mentioned.

Security is a vital part of application development, yet it may be neglected until an attacker takes advantage of a vulnerability in the system. The consequences of a security breach can damage an application’s integrity as well as a company’s reputation and revenue. Software architects and engineers need to pay special attention to securing the systems they work on.

In a previous article, we talked about how you could use BAM to do advanced management of dead lettered messages on the Azure Service Bus using a scenario like below. This article will show how you can set up this kind of example. Let’s assume your Order Processing functions are already in place, and your starting point is that sometimes you will get dead-lettered messages, and we need to implement the Send message to the BAM logic app and configure Serverless360.

Before you can answer this question, I like to step back and take a good look at the history of computing. Mainframes and legacy client-server applications were monolithic—all the processing took place on a single set of hardware. As hardware grew cheaper, and especially after widespread hardware virtualization came to fruition, these trends gave way to the widespread development of distributed systems. I began to see this trend during my time as an architect at a large cable and telecom provider.
