• Fedora Community Blog: CPE Weekly Update – Week 27 2023

  Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work.
  It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.).
  The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on.

• Enable user-managed networking with ZTP

  This article demonstrates how to configure user-managed networking via SiteConfig using the zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) deployment model. ZTP automates the steps required to configure new network devices and perform upgrades using a network switch feature.

• How to use Debezium SMT with Groovy to filter routing events

  After configuring my Kafka Connect Image with Debezium, demonstrated in Hugo Guerrero's article Improve your Kafka Connect builds of Debezium, I needed to configure a type of filter to only bring certain events from the database table to my topics. I was able to do this using Debezium SMT with Groovy.

• Running containers faster than ever

  Fascinating changes are happening in the automotive industry. Car manufacturers are moving away from discrete Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in favor of consolidating computing resources into bigger, high-performance computers. The move to a more dynamic system that enables software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is bringing two formerly separate worlds together: automotive and the datacenter-centric IT industry.

• How to use Kafka Cruise Control for cluster optimization

  AMQ streams has recently promoted Cruise Control to the General Availability stage. It optimizes how Apache Kafka distributes the workload to improve performance and health. Often the Kafka clusters are deployed and grow over time, hosting multiple topics. Thanks to its robustness and elasticity reputation, the operations department tends to give it little care, monitoring the key health indicators. But they don’t know how to tune it to face the new workload.

  Cruise Control can become a fundamental ally in managing your Kafka clusters and getting the most out of your hardware resources. Plus, with the AMQ streams operator, it’s just a matter of turning a key. This article explains the key principles and how to make practical use of this new exciting capability.
