A few weeks ago, we had the great pleasure to be involved with and sponsor the Nutanix NEXT event (21 September 2021), where we saw some really exciting announcements around the Nutanix-Citrix Partnership.

After nearly 2 years of perfecting our product during our beta phase and just over 5 months since we opened for early access, I have great pleasure in announcing that Civo is now 'General Availability'. It's taken us over 4 years to get to where we are today, with a colossal amount of work being contributed by our team to build the Civo platform and developer eco-system. I can honestly say that we're lucky to have so many amazing people at Civo.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Eric Amodio, creator of GitLens. I’m an innovator, leader, architect, and seasoned full-stack developer. I started developing GitLens way back in 2016 when I fell in love with Visual Studio Code and wanted to play with what was then newly released extension support. It all started with a simple question: could I add Git insights via CodeLens (hence GitLens) to any document? Which of course was yes, and a whole lot more.

We’re proud to announce the release of version 1.7 of the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller! In this release, we added support for custom resource definitions that cover most of the configuration settings. Definitions are available for the global, defaults and backend sections of the configuration. This promotes a cleaner separation of concerns between the different groups of settings and strengthens validation of those settings.

Many of you may have seen our State of Data Innovation report that we released recently; what better way to bring data and innovation closer together than through Machine Learning (ML)? In fact, according to this report, Artificial Intelligence (AI)/ML was the second most important tool for fueling innovation. So, naturally we have paired this report with a new release of the Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK)!

Grafana 8.2 is here! This release marks the start of our work focused on measurable improvements to Grafana’s accessibility — part of our continuing mission to democratize metrics for everyone. The initial changes to Grafana in 8.2 are focused on navigation, with more to come. We’ll be sharing more about our accessibility roadmap in an upcoming blog post.

The longer the pandemic stretches on, the more convinced I become that innovation is the key to recovery. And I’m not alone. McKinsey research found more than 90% of executives “expect the fallout from COVID-19 to fundamentally change the way they do business over the next five years.” Yet, many organizations are focusing less on innovation in an effort to minimize risk, save money, pursue safe opportunities, and bolster their core business, McKinsey reports.
