  • Debian 10 buster released - Debian offers great support to cloud users by making it easy to select images.

Look out for Debian 10 (or “buster” to his friends), the newest version just released.

  • What are the common causes of cloud outages? - David Mytton, former CEO at Server Density, will one day save you a panic-attack by revealing that software bugs are the main causes of cloud outages. He also goes through a list of public post-mortems of outages from the big 3 (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud) since 2016. Nobody’s perfect!
