The Prometheus Team is proud to announce the availability of Prometheus Version 3.0-beta! You can download it here. As is traditional with a beta release, we do not recommend users install Prometheus 3.0-beta on critical production systems, but we do want everyone to test it out and find bugs. In…
To help make sure that everyone’s up to speed with Zabbix Summit 2024 speakers and their topics, we’re continuing our series of interviews with Andre Morton of AGM Network Consultancy LTD. Keep reading to learn how he feels Zabbix can alleviate the typical pain points of managed service providers (MSPs),…
Zabbix plays a crucial role in monitoring all kinds of “things” – IoT devices, domains, cloud infrastructures and more. It can also be integrated with third-party solutions – for example, with Oxidized for configuration backup monitoring. Given the nature of Zabbix, it usually contains a lot of confidential information as…

In the early days of containerization, Docker was a revolutionary force, offering a simple yet powerful way to package, distribute, and run applications. Docker-CE (Community Edition) was the go-to choice, providing a free, open-source version of the Docker container engine. However, as time has passed and Docker Inc. has shifted its focus, Docker-CE has been left in a state that many would now describe as “unfinished”—especially in the context of enterprise production environments.
Rolling out an Industry 4.0 transformation is full of complexities, especially when you’re talking about managing and distributing software to edge devices. It’s not just about deploying software; it’s about dealing with all the quirks and challenges that come with working at the edge. One of the first big issues is the sheer variety of devices involved. You might have devices from different vendors, all running different hardware configurations and operating systems, and many of these systems weren’t built with modern software distribution in mind. Managing all of that can quickly turn into a nightmare.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) isn’t just another industry trend; it’s changing how businesses operate by bridging the gap between physical machinery and digital systems. This connectivity allows for real-time data insights, smarter automation, and more proactive decision-making. But the path to these benefits can be complicated. As IIoT projects grow, companies often face a tangled web of diverse devices, different software environments, and complex network setups. That’s where Portainer comes in. By managing Docker and Kubernetes-equipped gateways and PLCs, Portainer helps keep things consistent and operations running smoothly.

In the evolving landscape of enterprise IT, Kubernetes has emerged as the cornerstone of modern application deployment strategies. Red Hat® OpenShift® has quickly become a preferred Kubernetes distribution for enterprises, largely due to its extensive support from Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).
Many organizations choose OpenShift because their critical business applications are certified to run on this platform, ensuring reliability and support. However, as organizations scale, the complexity of managing multiple Kubernetes clusters can become a significant challenge.
This is where Portainer, a powerful multi-cluster management tool, comes into play. By integrating Portainer with OpenShift Kubernetes Engine, enterprises can manage their Kubernetes environments more efficiently and cost-effectively, without the need for the more expensive OpenShift Container Platform or Platform Plus licenses.
