      I believe Ubuntu just announced that 5.10 was coming in 21.04 as well.

      @scottalanmiller said in IBM z 14 Mainframe Released: @travisdh1 said in IBM z 14 Mainframe Released: @mlnews Sometimes you just have to wonder about marketing guys "New secure services with Java". Javascript maybe, but Java? That on top of the whole encryption thing, really people. I'm sure they're amazing, just wish I had a need for one! Actually Mainframes run insane amounts of traditional Java. Because Java is what replaced COBOL in financial applications and because mainframes are focused primarily on financial workloads, it's a very big deal there. Ah. That'd explain it then. I'll grant that I'd rather deal with JAVA than COBOL!

      Looking at the details page, here is a limitation depending on how you handle client accounts, or your own accounts. What are the Lightsail service limits? You can currently create up to 20 Lightsail instances, 5 static IPs, and 3 DNS domain zones in a Lightsail account. But this is pretty cool. Ability to manage traffic before it hits your VPS: Can I manage firewall settings for my instance? . You can control the data traffic for your instances by using the Lightsail firewall. From the Lightsail console, you can set rules about which ports of your instance are publicly accessible for different types of traffic.

      Never saw that. And it doesn't seem to make any sense. And certainly doesn't make me want to use Linux. What a freaking weird ad.

      It would not be unlikely for the power of this workstation to be comparable to more than the processing capabilities of a fully populated Proliant DL580 quad CPU Xeon server.

      Which brings up an interesting point, this means that IBM has abandoned Lenovo, their long term partner and the owner of the old IBM brand. So, in a way, IBM no longer runs IBM! Which is not that shocking, since even in 2000 - 2001 they relied on Sun to provide their servers instead of eating their own dogfood.

      Good point. I don't particularly doubt that it is there, just don't want to count unhatched chickens, you know? HP used to sell Proliants with the built in virtualization disabled via BIOS. Not that IBM would pull that, but without knowing that the feature is there for sure, it's something to look into.

      SuperMicro is beginning to make the lines between Tier 1 and Tier 2 blurry as they increase their level of engineering on their products and begin to offer more and more enterprise class support for their products.

      There are lots of vendors out there that will slice you a partition on a larger iSeries or even give you a blade and shared storage, even IBM will do it. It was one of my DR solutions for my last job, ship tapes to Rochester and load a slice up. For xSeries, don't know. AIX is also a different beast and doesn't do the same thing that OS/400 does for partitioning.

      @JaredBusch said: @scottalanmiller said: @thecreativeone91 said: How come they don't fail over the VMs to another server, then update the original server move them back and so on as to make it an update with no down time? Cloud is not high availability. That's a very common misconception. Cloud is beneath the HA layer. Anyone who had HA stayed up and running, of course, but cloud itself is not HA. They easily could have chosen to do so, but the workload would not offset the cost I am sure. Not really, because you can only do so much HA at that layer. Not every workload can be made HA in that way. But more importantly, HA is always an option and most importantly, HA is something you do, not something that you buy. But anyone who had an outage, like us, chose to not pay for HA because it is cheaper to have blips than to have the cost of HA. It's really the end users who opted out of HA.

      Very true. It is already quite amazing that Blackberry still exists at all.
