The Importance of Monitoring Containers
By Kevin Goldberg
With the rise of Docker, Kubernetes, and other container technologies, the
growth of microservices has skyrocketed among dev teams looking to innovate
on a faster release cycle. This has enabled teams to finally realize their
DevOps goals to ship and iterate quickly in a continuous delivery model. Why
containers are growing in popularity is no surprise — they’re extremely
easy to spin up or down, but come with an unforeseen issue.
However, without the right foresight, DevOps and IT teams may lose a lot of
visibility into these containers resulting in operational blind spots and
even more haystacks to find the presumptive performance issue needle.
If your team is looking towards containers and microservices as an
operational change in how you decide to ship your product, you can’t afford
bugs or software issue... (more)
What is Application Performance Management (APM)? Like a lot of good
questions, it depends on your business needs. What is the goal of an ideal
APM? Does it mean 99.999% availability? Perhaps it is a favorable overall
end user experience when using the application but, as compared to what?
My point is that Application Performance Management / Monitoring means
different things to different businesses and it can even depend on the
application involved.
What is the Goal of APM
“Begin with the goal in mind.” I wish I could take credit for that
quote. What is the goal of the APM? Have you listed out the objectives you
hope to obtain from your APM strategy? This approach will help your team
ensure satisfaction with the final solution chosen. Here are some examples.
Minimum of 99.999% availability with lower Mean Time To Know (MTTK) and Mean
Time To Repair (MTTR) Less ... (more)

(LinuxWorld) — The shockwaves emanating from the lawsuit SCO Group
filed against IBM last week continue to ripple back and forth across the
entire IT community. That includes the free-software and open-source
segments. How the suit will affect the future development and usage of Linux
remains to be seen.
SCO Group CEO Darl C. McBride told analysts and reporters in a teleconference
on Friday that "this case is not about the debate about the relative merits
of the proprietary versus open-source software models. This case is also not
about IBM's right to develop and promote open-source software, so long as
they do that without SCO's proprietary information."
The most immediate threat of the suit to IBM is the issue of licensing for
the use of Unix in AIX. Loss of that license could cause serious problems for
IBM's Unix-based hardware offerings. While there is hug... (more)
The SCO Group has released details of its plan to sell its Intellectual
Property License for Linux. The introductory license price will be $699 for a
single CPU system, through October 15th, 2003. After that date, the price
will double. The run-time license permits the use of SCO's intellectual
property, in binary form only, as contained in Linux distributions. By
purchasing a SCO Intellectual Property License, customers avoid infringement
of SCO's intellectual property rights in Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.5 kernels.
Because the SCO license authorizes run-time use only, customers also comply
with the General Public License, under which Linux is distributed.
"We have identified numerous files of unlicensed UNIX System V code and UNIX
System V derivative code in the Linux 2.4 and 2.5 kernels," said Chris
Sontag, senior vice president and general manager of SCOsource, the

Mr. McBride,
In your "Open Letter to the Open Source Community" your offer to negotiate
with us comes at the end of a farrago of falsehoods, half-truths, evasions,
slanders, and misrepresentations. You must do better than this. We will not
attempt to erect a compromise with you on a foundation of dishonesty.
Your statement that Eric Raymond was "contacted by the perpetrator" of the
DDoS attack on SCO begins the falsehoods. Mr. Raymond made very clear when
volunteering his information and calling for the attack to cease that he was
contacted by a third-party associate of the perpetrator and does not have the
perpetrator's identity to reveal. The DDoS attack ceased, and has not
resumed. Mr. Raymond subsequently received emailed thanks for his action from
Blake Stowell of SCO.
Your implication that the attacks are a continuing threat, and that the
President of the Ope... (more)
Linus Torvalds announced today that all further pre-release updates to the
version 2.6 Linux kernels would be bug fixes only as 2.6 test kernels are
about to reach versions –test8 and –test9.
The following is an excerpt from his e-mail to the Kernel Mailing List,
Wednesday October 8, 2003:
The more interesting thing is that I and Andrew are trying to calm down
development, and I do _not_ want to see patches that don't fix a real and
clear bug. In other words, the 'cleanup and janitorial' stuff is on hold, and
-test8 and then -test9 should be for _stability_ fixes only. In other words,
this should calm things down so that by the end of October we can look at the
state of 2.6.0 without having a lot of noise from 'not strictly necessary'
stuff.
Version 2.6 of the Linux kernel is the first major stable release since
version 2.4 was released in January 2001. Some of the ... (more)
Linus on Darl "If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage
unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of
normal human interaction and probably is a major impediment to the commercial
growth of prostitution."
