How To Enable 4G LTE On The Google Nexus 4 - TechCrunch has an excellent
guide on how to enable LTE on the Nexus 4. However, this is only workable for
Canadian and T-Mobile LTE networks. While many have bemoaned the lack of LTE
in the Nexus 4, I do not believe it to be the concern that everyone is making
it. Via TechCrunch, more here. Thanksgiving day was a record-breaker for

Feb. 16, 2019 12:45 PM EST | By Liz McMillan  DevOps is under attack because developers don’t want to mess with infrastructure. They will happily own their code into production, but want to use platforms instead of raw automation. That’s changing the landscape that we understand as DevOps with both architecture concepts (CloudNative) and process redefinition (SRE).
Rob Hirschfeld’s recent work in Kubernetes operations has led to the conclusion that containers and related platforms have changed the way we should be thinking about DevOps and controlling infrastructure. The rise of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is part of that redefinition of operations vs development roles in organizations. Feb. 16, 2019 12:00 PM EST Reads: 4,489 | By Liz McMillan  When you're operating multiple services in production, building out forensics tools such as monitoring and observability becomes essential. Unfortunately, it is a real challenge balancing priorities between building new features and tools to help pinpoint root causes. Linkerd provides many of the tools you need to tame the chaos of operating microservices in a cloud native world.
Because Linkerd is a transparent proxy that runs alongside your application, there are no code changes required. It even comes with Prometheus to store the metrics for you and pre-built Grafana dashboards to show exactly what is important for your services - success rate, latency, and throughput. Feb. 16, 2019 12:00 PM EST | By Liz McMillan  "There is a huge interest in Kubernetes. People are now starting to use Kubernetes and implement it," stated Sebastian Scheele, co-founder of Loodse, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at DevOps at 19th Cloud Expo, held November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. Feb. 16, 2019 11:00 AM EST Reads: 6,027 | By Liz McMillan  Kubernetes is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Kubernetes was originally built by Google, leveraging years of experience with managing container workloads, and is now a Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) project. Kubernetes has been widely adopted by the community, supported on all major public and private cloud providers, and is gaining rapid adoption in enterprises. However, Kubernetes may seem intimidating and complex to learn. This is because Kubernetes is more of a toolset than a ready solution. Hence it’s essential to know when and how to apply the appropriate Kubernetes constructs. Feb. 16, 2019 10:45 AM EST Reads: 6,582 |
