Announcing the Open Beta for Linux Shell Runners in Bitbucket Pipelines

We are happy to announce that Bitbucket Pipelines now supports non-containerized Linux Shell self-hosted runners. This is currently in beta. You can now create a self-hosted runner and run it on your Linux infrastructure without container restrictions. Since it is your infrastructure, you will not be charged for the build minutes used by your self-hosted runner.

What is Swap Space?

For a machine to run and store the loaded applications, every processor needs data capacity. Storage is an serious issue if you work in IT since you will have bundles of software packages to run a single application. When RAM is nearly exhausted, the Linux swap function can help you. Using swap space instead of RAM in Linux systems can slow down the system’s performance. At the same time, there are more benefits when swap space is enabled.

How to launch Confidential VMs on Azure

Canonical is happy to announce the general availability of Ubuntu Confidential VMs (CVMs) on Microsoft Azure. Ubuntu 20.04 is the first and only Linux distribution to support Confidential VMs on Azure! Ubuntu CVMs use the latest security extensions of the third generation of AMD CPUs, Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). As such, they bring about a fundamental shift in the traditional threat model of public clouds. They are part of the Microsoft Azure DCasv5/ECasv5 series, and only take a few clicks to enable and use!

Electrical and electronic vehicle architecture trends: an exploration

Vehicles are becoming more complex everyday. Customers expect safe, autonomous, connected, electrified and shared vehicles and these features are achieved via software. Although there is a clear change in focus from hardware to software, the advent of software-defined vehicles will rely heavily on optimised Electrical / Electronic (E/E) vehicle architectures. To make way for this changing paradigm, big hardware changes need to take place.
