Container management has come a long way. For decades, managing containerized environments was a relatively simple affair. The modern idea of a computer container originally appeared back in the 1970s, with the concept first being used to help define application code on Unix systems. Modern containerization technology has moved on steadily from those early beginnings, …

Managed DNS is where a third-party hosts and optimizes your DNS resolution architecture to provide the fastest, most secure, most reliable experience. Perhaps the easiest way to explain it is by looking at the opposite scenario: what if you don’t have a managed DNS service in place? Every query in the Domain Name System (DNS) follows the …
Structured Query Language (SQL) is a complex language that requires an understanding of databases and metadata. Today, generative AI can enable people without SQL knowledge. This generative AI task is called text-to-SQL, which generates SQL queries from natural language processing (NLP) and converts text into semantically correct SQL. The solution in this post aims to …
Last year, we surveyed over 100 senior executives from leading companies on the top generative AI use cases for 2024. They told us their top use cases delivered near-term benefits for their business and had a lower time to and risk to implement. Specifically, they identified improving customer service, increasing the productivity of software development …

In-context learning with Large Language Models (LLMs) has emerged as a promising avenue of research in Dialog State Tracking (DST). However, the best-performing in-context learning methods involve retrieving and adding similar examples to the prompt, requiring access to labeled training data. Procuring such training data for a wide range of domains and applications is time-consuming, …

While many network admins outsource the management of authoritative domain name system (DNS) infrastructure to a third party like IBM® NS1 Connect®, there is a sizable community of network operators who prefer to dig in and build something themselves. These do it yourself (DIY) authoritative DNS architectures can be cobbled together from various tools. BIND is most …
