Splunk: Now Streaming: Splunk Machine Learning
Machine learning (ML) helps companies leverage data to improve intelligence in their operations. In this webinar, we'll show you how to analyze data with different forms of machine learning using Splunk, comparing stream and batch processing. Splunk Streaming ML gives you the ability to extract near real-time insights from data as it is ingested. These capabilities can be complementary to traditional batch methodology, and so we'll also demonstrate how the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit (MLTK) can be leveraged to train models from your data.
Rancher September 2020 Online Meetup - Rancher 2.5 Preview: GitOps with Fleet Management
This September we will take a look at the new Rancher 2.5 Fleet management feature designed to manage GitOps at scale. Operating at scale requires taking a programatic infrastructure as code approach to managing Kubernetes clusters. As clusters move out to the edge, assumptions about datacenter grade networking and hardware change dramatically. Fleet management provides a new GitOps method of managing one to one million clusters.

It’s only four months ago that I blogged about histograms in Prometheus. Back then, I teased my talk planned for (virtual) KubeCon Europe 2020. On Aug. 20, the talk finally happened. It completed the trilogy of histogram talks also mentioned in my previous blog post. Here is the recommended viewing order.
Five things to Log in your CI Pipeline: Continuous Delivery
Logs in continuous delivery pipelines are often entirely ignored, right up until something goes wrong. We usually find ourselves wishing we’d put some thought into our logs, once we’re in the midst of trawling through thousands of lines.
