As part of our ongoing series on cost management for observability data in Google Cloud, we’re going to share four steps for getting the most out of your logs while on a budget. While we’ll focus on optimizing your costs within Google Cloud, we’ve found that this works with customers with infrastructure and logs on prem and in other clouds as well. Step 1: Analyze your current spending on logging tools To get started, create an itemized list of what volume of data is going where and what it costs.

As such, Go is likely to feel familiar to anyone who writes programs in C. Go makes it easy to write new programs while feeling familiar to C programmers but avoiding many of the common pitfalls of the C programming language. This article compares a simple C and Go program that adds the numbers from one to ten. Because this program uses only small values, the numbers won’t grow to be…

Make A Web-Safe Color Guide With Bash

Use the for loop in Bash to create a handy color palette for the web. When computer displays had a limited color palette, web designers often used a set of web-safe colors to create websites. While modern websites displaying on newer devices can display many more colors than the original web-safe color palette, I sometimes like to refer to the web-safe colors when I create web pages. This way I know my pages look good anywhere. You can find web-safe color palettes on the web, but I wanted to have my own copy for easy reference. And you can make one too,…

Follow this tutorial to see how I use KService and Ansible on my Linux KDE desktop. I run the KDE Plasma Desktop on my computer because it’s a flexible environment with lots of options for customization. Having choices in your desktop is about more than just having lots of menus and buttons to activate or deactivate. The thing I love most about KDE Plasma Desktop is the ability to add my own features to it. One reason this is possible is KServices, a simple but powerful plugin framework for handling desktop services. Add functions to the right-click menu In the KDE Plasma…
