This blog post is for both novice and seasoned audiences alike. If you’re interested in the relevance and utility of SLOs and how they might be helpful for you, you’ve come to the right place. The first part of this blog post briefly explores the integration of SLO events with AI. The second part delves into the approach to be adopted with SLOs based on a client’s context and environment, considering whether SLAs (Service Level Agreements) have already been historically defined.

We explain the key differences between field and lab data and how you should interpret them. Overview Web performance metrics can be broadly classified into two distinct groups – field data and lab (synthetic data). Each dataset has a different source (i.e., where the data comes from), and is gathered using different methodologies.

The last decade brought a wave of digital transformation that accelerated the move towards cloud-native tech, specifically Kubernetes. We could talk about this move’s benefits (and downsides!) for more than a few blogs, but that’s not why we’re here. We’re here to talk about the less savory side of cloud-native transformation—you know, all the things that can go wrong.

Running iperf with parallel threads TL;DR – When running iperf with parallel threads/workers the -P option must be specified after the -c <target-IP> option. This is mentioned in the manpage but some options (-t for instance) work in any order, while others (specifically the -P for parallel threads) definitely does not, which is a bit … The post Using iperf multi-stream may not work as expected appeared first on n0derunner.

I’ve mentioned before that one of my hobbies is lapidary work. I hunt for stone, cut it, shape it, sand it, polish it, and turn it into artistic things. I enjoy doing this work for a lot of reasons, not least of which being I approach it every day not with an expectation of “what am I going to complete” but “what am I going to learn.” As a learning exercise, it is fantastic.

A Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW) is a feature in database management systems that can communicate with an external data source and access data without physically moving the data on a working local database.PostgreSQL implements portions of the SQL/MED specification, allowing access to data that resides outside PostgreSQL using regular SQL queries.

Cyberattacks are increasingly becoming the norm. As digital transformation continues to accelerate, software delivery pipelines become more challenging to secure. Indeed, a recent report found that 84% of technology leaders agree that multicloud complexity makes it more difficult to protect applications from security vulnerabilities and attacks. To address this, many states apply for federal funding to build a security operations center to proactively defend against the growing rate of cybersecu
