  • How to make "data-driven" more than jargon in your organization

    Many organizations today describe themselves as “data-driven,” and it’s easy to understand why: Organizations are producing, and have access to, more data than ever before. It’s considered a competitive advantage and many customers are demanding it.

    Further, advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are more widely available to help make sense of this massive amount of data and improve business processes and functions like customer experience (CX).

    But what does it really mean to be a data-driven organization? To some extent, the term “data-driven” has become marketing jargon, possibly because it’s being used to describe even the most basic data activities. But just because an organization collects data doesn’t mean it’s data-driven.

    The bottom line: Being a data-driven organization means digging into the information readily available and making strategic business decisions based on the facts and insights that are uncovered.

  • IBM email fiasco complicates sales deals, is worse than biz is letting on – sources

    IBM's email migration misadventure has been worse than the IT titan has let on, current and former staff have told us.

    Big Blue yesterday acknowledged "some IBM employees are experiencing email service delays," and that the company is using "a variety of alternative communications tools to ensure minimal disruption to our clients and to our business" while it restores its systems.

    We're told IBM's communications problems follow from an email migration, planned over the past 18 months, that aimed to move the tech giant's messaging data from HCL servers to machines operated by Big Blue. The migration didn't go as planned, and has led – for some portion of the company – to four or five days with limited or no email capability and the inability to schedule calendar events and meetings. Outlook, Verse (IBM's webmail), and Notes have been affected; Slack chat messaging, at least, has been spared.

    Now two sources have told to us that the botched email transition has affected not only communication and productivity but may have revenue implications for the company's second quarter, which closed yesterday. We're told that IBM has given its salespeople special instructions to ensure they can complete customer purchase orders and obtain contract signatures because their usual business processes have been disrupted.

    [...]

    One of our sources, an IBM employee with knowledge of the company's technical operations, told us that the situation is worse than has been suggested.

    "They claim it’s only about a dozen 'clusters,'" the individual said, insisting that the number of affected clusters is more like 15, which corresponds to a larger disruption. "I would guess it’s maybe 150,000-200,000 mailboxes impacted out of 400,000."

  • Kubernetes security automation saves SecOps sanity

    Enterprise IT pros are applying the Agile/DevOps philosophy of continuous improvement to Kubernetes security automation in order to keep pace with increasingly complex, multi-cluster container environments where developers also demand flexibility.

    When carmaker Audi AG first began to use Kubernetes in 2017, it had one centralized platform for its DevOps team based on a proprietary Kubernetes control plane. But as the use of Kubernetes began to expand to more departments, and several public and hybrid cloud Kubernetes services emerged, Audi IT pros grappled with how to maintain both security and flexibility for the broader company.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
