Kubernetes (also known as k8s or “kube”) is an open source container orchestration platform that automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications.

Monitoring your machine's internal temperatures is important for maintaining system health, optimizing performance, and ensuring the longevity of your computer hardware. It allows you to take proactive measures to prevent potential damage caused by overheating and helps in diagnosing and addressing cooling-related issues effectively. In this article we'll detail how to use the Telegraf agent to collect temperature readings from a Mac computer, that you can forward to a datasource.

As the demand for AI-based solutions continues to rise, there’s a growing need to build machine learning pipelines quickly without sacrificing quality or reliability. However, since data scientists, software engineers, and operations engineers use specialized tools specific to their fields, synchronizing their workflows to create optimized ML pipelines is challenging.

We’re wrapping up the year with one last release, adding a few more goodies. 4.2 comes with some notable feature improvements. The Connectivity add-on now makes it easier to manage ports with editable port name templates and bulk editing capabilities. Plus, we’ve introduced new Bulk Actions for adding and editing network ports. And the Linux version Data Collector got even better – it now supports AES256 for SNMPv3 discovery and monitoring.

Many will rightly point to 2023 as a year of AI, and it certainly was that. But what has really struck me in 2023 were the incremental, often less headline-grabbing changes, that have made developers’ lives easier and unlocked so much innovation. Kubernetes has continued to mature this year, going ‘under the hood’ in organization’s infrastructure and regularly used to support major use cases by large, enterprise-level businesses.
