AI Explainer: What Are Generative Adversarial Networks?
I previously posted a blog that was a glossary of terms related to artificial intelligence. It included this brief definition of "generative AI": I expect for someone learning about AI, it's frustrating to read definitions of terms that include other terms you may not understand. In this case, generative adversarial networks — GANs — is probably a new term for many. This post will explain what GANs are for that reason — and also because they’re super cool.
Kubernetes Scheduler - A Comprehensive Guide
In the world of Kubernetes, where applications are encapsulated within containers and seamlessly distributed across diverse clusters of computers, the enigmatic Kubernetes scheduler takes centre stage. Think of it as the orchestra conductor of your Kubernetes cluster, orchestrating a symphony of resources to ensure seamless operations. This unassuming yet powerful component leverages a sophisticated algorithm to perform the intricate dance of optimizing resource allocation.
SEC Charges on SolarWinds: A Wake-Up Call for Cybersecurity and Risk Management
Cribl’s Ed Bailey and Jackie McGuire look into the recent SEC fraud charges leveled against SolarWinds and its CISO, concerning alleged fraud and internal control failures tied to known cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities. These charges carry long-term implications for corporate handling of cybersecurity and risk management. Tune into the live stream for an engaging conversation, and come prepared with your questions and insights on the future of cybersecurity.
Monitoring Redis Performance Metrics
Redis, as an in-memory data store, excels at providing high-speed data access and manipulation. However, without effective monitoring, the potential advantages of Redis can be compromised due to performance bottlenecks, scalability issues, and resource constraints. By closely scrutinizing key metrics, Redis monitoring allows you to proactively detect and address potential problems, ensuring the stability, reliability, and high-performance operation of your Redis environment.
Combining frontend and backend performance with John Hill (Grafana Office Hours #18)
In this episode of Grafana Office Hours, Developer Advocates Marie Cruz and Nicole van der Hoeven speak with John Hill, a Web UI Test Engineer and Grafana k6 champion, to talk about how the Grafana and k6 ecosystems can be used to ensure performance in mission-critical applications like NASA’s Open MCT.
Understanding the Netdata Methodology: A Different Take on Monitoring
In the dynamic landscape of modern infrastructure and multi cloud environments, observing and understanding system performance requires a new breed of tools—ones that keep pace with the 'living' nature of modern infrastructure. This is the inflection point at which Netdata steps in, and aims to bring a fresh perspective to monitoring.
Streamlining configuration management: Unleashing the power of OpManager's module
Ensuring uninterrupted network availability is paramount for any organization relying on multiple network devices for their day-to-day operations. Two crucial metrics that govern network availability are performance and fault management. By implementing ManageEngine OpManager as your fault and performance monitoring tool, you gain invaluable insights into device health, CPU performance, and more.
Mastering Prometheus Exporters: Techniques and Best Practices
If you’re into monitoring, Prometheus is probably an essential part of your stack. Thanks to its expressive query language (PromQL), scalability, and configurable data format, it remains one of the most popular tools for data collection. Paired with Prometheus exporters, the tool can adapt to a variety of surroundings, which is one of its strongest points.
Netdata Best Practices: Optimizing Your Monitoring Setup
Effective system monitoring is non-negotiable in today's complex IT environments. Netdata offers real-time performance and health monitoring with precision and granularity. But the key to harnessing its full potential lies in the optimization of your setup. Let’s ensure you are not just collecting data, but doing it in the most optimal way while gaining actionable insights from it. The starting point for optimization is a robust setup.
