Calling customers: research responses required 💚

↺ Calling customers: research responses required 💚

> Roughly six weeks ago, we launched our new yearly documentation survey on documentation.suse.com. Participation to date We are very grateful for all the responses that are coming in.  KUDOS to our SUSE partners: As of now, you are very active and make up two thirds of the survey participants.

Improve your cloud cost visibility with Red Hat Insights cost management feature [Ed: Red Hat is trying to sell its proprietary software ("Insights")]

↺ Improve your cloud cost visibility with Red Hat Insights cost management feature

> Red Hat Insights cost management enables you to track your cloud spend and understand the cost of your Red Hat OpenShift clusters running in the cloud or on-premises. Using the underlying cloud infrastructure costs or a user-defined cost model, you can gather insights to better understand how much projects or applications cost, how much unallocated costs exist from excess capacity on the cluster, or how much the platform control plane costs.

Automation and zero-touch provisioning for the RAN

> In this video, ‌Rob McManus, marketing manager at Red Hat, explains how service providers can use automation to deploy and operate their radio access network (RAN) networks at scale, and how cloud technology can facilitate a distributed RAN, increasing flexibility and reducing costs.

Legacies | In Defense Of Legacy

↺ Legacies | In Defense Of Legacy

> As the tech industry continues to innovate, more technology gets classified as outdated—often referred to as legacy. But younger IT professionals often start their careers working on legacy hardware and software, and upgrades aren’t always an option. How can they learn and grow, while still working on older tech?

Stéphane Graber: Stable Linux mainline builds [Ed: Canonical too pays the price for getting greedy]

↺ Stéphane Graber: Stable Linux mainline builds

> For the past year or so, I’ve increasingly been using mainline Linux kernels on my various servers and eventually laptop and desktop machines too.

> That was transitioning from Ubuntu’s generic kernel which I feel has sadly decreased in quality over time. The Ubuntu kernel includes a lot of backported fixes and occasionally, those backports go bad, resulting in missing commits, introducing bugs and regressions. Unfortunately the way the Ubuntu kernel is built, tested and published comes with a lot of delays, making fixing such regressions often take weeks if not months (depending on whether security updates show up in between).

> So I started taking the latest stable bugfix release of the mainline kernel, generate a configuration that’s very close to an Ubuntu generic kernel, cherry-pick a few small changes that aren’t upstream yet and then build that and push it to my machines.
