The Datadog Security Platform team leverages Serverless to ingest security events across many different cloud providers, deployment platforms, and devices. These security events are then transformed and shipped to a data lake to help defend and protect the platform as a whole.

Let's talk about talk about configuring the Netdata Agent, from finding where the configuration files are on your node, using the `edit-config` script, and seeing a few changes in action.

As the number of Kubernetes clusters under management increases, application owners and cluster operators need a programmatic way to approach cluster management. Rancher CD solves this by creating a git driven engine for applying cluster changes. Declarative code is stored in a git repo. As changes are committed to the repo, linked clusters are automatically updated. Gitops keeps all your clusters consistent, version controlled, and reduces the administrative burden as you scale.

In this cracker of a DBAle episode, you can not only hear, but see our Chris-tmas duo as they embark on an end-to-end database journey where even the beers are getting Festiv-O.

So, grab yourself a beer and tune in for the last DBAle of 2020 - cheers!

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?

Loki doesn't index your logs, and that is a very different approach than popular full-text search engines like Elasticsearch or Solr That sounds like a huge constraint.
