For Our 2021 Open Source Trend Report, We Surveyed AT A GLANCE 2021 Open Source Trend Report For our 2021 Open Source Trend Report, we surveyed our team of experienced Enterprise Architects to weigh in on the top technologies in open source, as applied to data technologies, operating systems, and cloud technologies. We then asked a handful of our experts to share their thoughts on the results. Download Report Data Technologies MariaDB PostgreSQL MongoDB Camel ActiveMQ Hadoop Kafka CouchDB Spark Cassandra Apache NiFi Couchbase Cockroach08 Artemis Strimzi Importance to Modern Development Bleeding Edge Mature “There’s a lot of interest in the technologies that support and utilize data at scale right now. I would expect technologies like CockroachDB, Couchbase, Cassandra, Spark, Kafka to increase adoption in months and years to come.” Connor Penhale Enterprise Architect at OpenLogic Operating Systems RHEL / CentOS (and derivatives) Android Ubuntu / Debian Atomic Linux Fedora CoreOS FreeBSD Winsows Server 2020 Mac OSX Server Power SLES / OpenSUSE SystemZ IBMi / AS400 AIX Solaris Importance to Modern Development Decreasing Adoption Increasing Adoption “I expect to see many of these operating systems hold the same relative market share for the same reasons they hold it today – many of them remain directly married to the underlying hardware. Until a product comes in and disrupts that reality, it will remain relatively unchanged.” Vince Cox Enterprise Architect at OpenLogic Cloud Technologies Kubernetes / Docker Jenkins Ansible Rancher OpenStack ContainerD OpenShi / OKD CRI-O GraphQL Istio LinkerD Netflix OSS Stack Envoy Consul Argo Tyk Gloo Ambassador Importance to Modern Development Bleeding Edge Mature “Our internal survey showed fairly expected results, with Jenkins, Ansible, Docker, OpenStack, and Kubernetes as well-adopted technologies. The results for Istio, Envoy, ContainerD all point to their role in making services meshes increasingly accessible and practical.” Joe Carder Enterprise Architect at OpenLogic Public Survey Results For the second part of our report, we surveyed development professionals to get answers on three burning questions regarding CentOS alternatives, development priorities, and service mesh technologies, then asked our expert to give his thoughts on the results. Which Centos Replacement Will End Up On Top? 22% Rocky Linux 37% No Need To Replace 14% Alms Linux 27% Oracle Linux “It’s surprising to see a large number of respondents indicated that they didn’t see a need to switch. This could point to either a lack of understanding regarding the announcement, or the fact that more people are ready for a rolling release distribution than anticipated.” Justin Reock Chief Evangelist, OSS and API Management at Perforce Soware Most Important Areas Of Development System Security Improve Customer Experience CI/CD Containerization Leveraging ‘Big Data’ Low Priority High Priority “A series of high profile hacks as well as the accelerated pace of digital transformation has made securing our digital assets every bit as important as our physical assets – in some cases, even more so. These results point to that reality.” Justin Reock Chief Evangelist, OSS and API Management at Perforce Soware Which Of The Following Service Mesh Technologies Have You Explored Or Implemented? 3% Other 11% 9% LinkerD Zuul 17% 16% Envoy Consul 15% Ambassador 29% Istio “The service mesh pattern is exploding, due in large part to a combination of marketing dollars spent by technology stakeholders such as Google, and the genuine usefulness of the pattern. It’s interesting to see how that aligns with technology adoption.” Justin Reock Chief Evangelist, OSS and API Management at Perforce Soware Read the Full Trend Report Ready to read the full 2021 Open Source Trend Report?

  • How to Download Red Hat Linux Iso for Vmware Vmware Workstation 3.2
    how to download red hat linux iso for vmware VMware Workstation 3.2. The easiest method of installing Red Hat Linux 6.x in a virtual machine is to use the standard Red Hat distribution CD. The notes below describe an installation using the standard distribution CD; however, installing Red Hat Linux 6.x via the boot floppy/network method is supported as well. Before installing the operating system, be sure that you have already created a directory for the new virtual machine and configured it using the VMware Workstation New Virtual Machine Wizard (on Windows hosts) or Configuration Wizard (on Linux hosts). Caution: Red Hat Linux 6.2 does not run on Pentium 4 processors. It also does not run on Xeon processors that are branded Xeon, with no qualifier, or Xeon-MP (Pentium III Xeon processors are OK). Note: Due to VGA performance issues installing Red Hat 6.1 and 6.2 with the graphics mode installer, we highly recommend you install the operating system with the text mode installer. At the Red Hat 6.1 or 6.2 CD boot prompt, you are offered the following choices: To install or upgrade a system . in graphical mode . To install or upgrade a system . in text mode, type: text <ENTER>. To enable expert mode, . Use the function keys listed below . Choose the text mode installer by typing text followed by Enter. Note: D uring the Red Hat Linux 6.x installation, a standard VGA16 X server (without support for the VMware Workstation X server) is installed. To get an accelerated SVGA X server running inside the virtual machine, you should install the VMware Tools package immediately after installing Red Hat Linux 6.x.

    Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > IBM: Latest on Fedora 34 and Alternative to CentOS, AlmaLinux IBM: Latest on Fedora 34 and Alternative to CentOS, AlmaLinux By Roy Schestowitz Created 13/01/2021 - 8:49pm Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Wednesday 13th of January 2021 08:49:05 PM Filed under Red Hat [1] Fedora 34 To Ship An ISO With The i3 Window Manager - Phoronix [2] While the i3 window manager has been around for more than a decade, it's taken until now for an i3 window manager spin of Fedora to be solicited and approved. Following the creation of a Fedora i3 special interest group last year, approved this week is providing an official Fedora spin with the i3 window manager in place of other desktop environments / window managers. This is the first Fedora release image to make use of a tiling window manager. Fedora Looks To Overhaul Its Community Outreach - Phoronix [3] In addition to pursuing many technical changes for its Linux distribution like systemd-oomd by default, Btrfs Zstd compression, and standalone XWayland releases, the Fedora project is also looking to overhaul its community outreach this year. Fedora's "Community Outreach Revamp" is to focus on existing outreach teams within Fedora that are "struggling to function" or need greater support for success. Open Mainframe Tessia Makes It Easy To Run Linux On Mainframe [4] Open Mainframe Project recently announced a new project called Tessia that?s designed to automate all the processes involving installation and configuration of Linux on Z systems.

  • Moving from Centos Linux to Pop! OS by Rex Djere Of
    Moving from CentOS Linux to Pop!_OS by Rex Djere of https://saxtalk.com/ Summary In 2020, I decided that I wanted to add some light gaming to my repertoire. I bought the most popular Logitech game controller on Amazon (the Logitech Gamepad F310), and I assumed that since it was so popular, it would work in CentOS 8 with no problems. When the gamepad arrived, I fired up Extreme Tux Racer, but the gamepad wasn’t recognized. In this article, I will describe why this lack of Logitech F310 gamepad support in CentOS 8 motivated me to switch from CentOS 8 to Pop!_OS 20.10. From Fedora to CentOS to Pop!_OS I spent almost 20 years in the Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora ecosystem, starting with Fedora 1. I ran every Fedora Linux from Fedora 1 to Fedora 30, but in 2019, I decided that I wanted to focus on desktop computer stability, so I switched to the rock solid Linux distribution known as CentOS 8. I absolutely loved CentOS 8 for the year that I ran it: it never crashed, and it was the most stable computer operating system that I have ever used. However, I decided in 2020 that I wanted to start playing games on my desktop computer to keep my mind sharp. I remembered how much I loved playing Tux Racer back in the day. I went onto Amazon.com looking for a good, well-reviewed, and affordable game controller, and the Logitech F310 wired gamepad kept coming up in my Amazon searches. The price was very reasonable.

  • Beyond the End of Centos
    Beyond the End of CentOS As if web hosting providers didn’t have enough on their plates, here comes yet another bump in the road, albeit one that will require some serious infrastructure updates. I’m talking about the EOL (end of life) of CentOS Project as we know it. That’s right, CentOS, the operating system of choice for hundreds of web hosting providers across the globe is being tossed in lieu of CentOS Stream. CentOS is a fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linus (RHEL) and has for years been the popular choice for web hosting providers to deploy on its production servers. Why? It’s always been rock solid in stability and compatibility. The new CentOS Stream will track just ahead of current RHEL releases. Going forward, CentOS Stream will serve as the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS Linux 7 will be produced through the remainder of the RHEL 7 life cycle (four years). CentOS Linux 8 as a rebuild of RHEL , will end at the end of 2021. Per CentOS: “CentOS Stream will also be the centerpiece of a major shift in collaboration among the CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs). This ensures SIGs are developing and testing against what becomes the next version of RHEL. This also provides SIGs a clear single goal, rather than having to build and test for two releases. It gives the CentOS contributor community a great deal of influence in the future of RHEL. And it removes confusion around what “CentOS” means in the Linux distribution ecosystem.” They go on to recommend: “When CentOS Linux 8 (the rebuild of RHEL8) ends, your best option will be to migrate to CentOS Stream 8, which is a small delta from CentOS Linux 8, and has regular updates like traditional CentOS Linux releases.
