Grep the Word “Error” in Your Logs – Can You Find the One That’s Costing You $1M?

OverOps

Nice , in the ability to nurture, coach, inspire, respect, and truly care for those you lead.

JavaScript Detect Async Function

David Walsh

JavaScript async/await has changed the landscape of how we code. We’re no longer stuck in callback or then hell, and our code can feel more “top down” again. Async functions require the following syntax: async function myFunction() { }. To use await with a function, the function needs to be declared with async.

In reality, the opposite is true. Kubernetes allows you to natively create and manage storage decoupled from pods. To show you what I mean, let’s go through an exercise that will provision a persistent disk in Google Cloud using a Cloud Sandbox environment in Linux Academy’s Cloud Playground.
