TAIPEI, Taiwan, September 14, 2022 — ASUS IoT, a global AIoT solution provider, today announced a partnership agreement with Canonical to certify the device manufacturer’s boards and systems with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. ASUS IoT devices are used in a wide range of edge computing applications. New devices like the PE100A will be certified for optimised performance with Ubuntu, ensuring faster development times and ease of configuration.

Charmed Kubeflow is Canonical’s Kubeflow distribution and MLOps platform. The latest release shipped on 8 September. Our engineering team hosted a couple of livestreams to answer the questions from the community: a beta-release webcast and a technical deep-dive. In case you missed them, you can read the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) about MLOps and access helpful resources in this blog post. Note that you can also watch the videos on Youtube: Beta-release & a technical deep-dive.

Canonical is excited to partner with AWS and feature on this week’s episode of AWS on Air. Watch us live on September 16, at 12pm PT.

You are not the only one asking this seemingly popular question! Several companies are torn between the rise in appeal of open-source databases and the undeniable challenges inherent to their adoption. Let’s explore the trends, the drivers and the challenges related to open-source database adoption.

Syslog is a very common method for transmitting data from network devices and open systems servers data to analytics platforms like Elastic and Splunk. As adaptable as syslog is, it still has significant constraints, which is a pain for most companies that lack the resources to scale their capability needed for syslog.

Kubeflow 1.6 was released on September 7, and Charmed Kubeflow 1.6 (Canonical’s distribution) came shortly after, as it follows the same roadmap. Charmed Kubeflow introduces a new version of Kubeflow pipelines as well as model training enhancements.

At this point, you already know how powerful syslog is (and if you don’t, check out “Introduction to Syslog”). But here’s the thing: Scaling your systems to consume high volume syslog is like fighting zombies. Weird unexpected behavior and no easy solutions. Before you fight zombies, though, you have to understand them. So, here are the challenges for scaling syslog one by one.

Servers are almost inseparable from any IT infrastructure. Linux is the most compatible, open source operating system for servers because of its flexibility, consistency, and security. Most Linux servers are set up with any of these variants of Linux OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), or Ubuntu. Basic troubleshooting of a Linux server’s primary metrics can be easily done using the built-in commands.

Syslog is an event logging standard that lets almost any device or application send data about status, events, diagnostics, and more. It’s commonly used by network and storage devices to ship observability data to analytics platforms and SIEMs in order to support and secure the enterprise. Syslog is an excellent lightweight protocol to get telemetry from small scale devices.
