Technology Short Take 176

Scott Lowe

Networking Lee Briggs (formerly of Pulumi, now with Tailscale) shows how to use the Tailscale Operator to create “free” Kubernetes load balancers (“free” as in no additional charge above and beyond what it would normally cost to operate a Kubernetes cluster). Thanks for reading! Read more about it in this post.

The parallel universe of computing: How multiple tasks happen simultaneously?

Dataconomy

From powering the latest AI and machine learning algorithms to speeding up data processing in scientific research, parallel processing has revolutionized the way we compute and process data. Overcoming the challenges of parallel processing requires careful attention to synchronization, scalability, and load balancing issues.
