What You Need to Know About IoT Logging

The Internet of Things (or, IoT) is an umbrella term for multiple connected devices sharing real-time data, and IoT logging is an important part of this.

To maximize system potential, this plethora of generated data needs to be managed efficiently.

(I also got the job after the interview, in case that wasn’t obvious…) When SREcon EMEA 2019 came along, I thought it was just about time to publicly speculate about the future of our profession.

What's new in Kubernetes 1.20?

Another noteworthy fact of this Kubernetes 1.20 release is that it brings 43 enhancements, up from 34 in 1.19. Of those 43 enhancements, 11 are graduating to Stable, 15 are completely new, and 17 are existing features that keep improving. So many enhancements means that they are smaller in scope.
