3. Deep Twitter Integration: Now you can use Twitter account to signin to all your apps just like you use google account on android. This includes the Camera and Photos app.

Also added to the iOS browser is a Reading List, which does what the name suggests by accumulating a list of pages you want to read later. Accessible on multiple devices.


5. Reminders is just like iCal on Mac os x, which popsup alerts. Its fully location aware and can trigger location based alerts. It’ll sync across devices and with your calendar.



6. More Camera features: A new camera button right on your lockscreen for quick photos. Also you can use the volume-up button to shoot a photo.  Pinch-to-zoom, while holding your finger down on a particular area will lock down exposure to optimize the shot for its particular lighting. Couple of other effects and in-app editing for photos like cropping, rotation, red-eye reduction, and a one-click enhance option.


 7. New Keyboard: A new split keyboard has also been shown off in iOS 5, blows away Windows 8.

8.  PC-less: Finally apple realises it’s a pain to use smartphone, Tablet with a PC. You no longer need a PC/Mac to use iPHone, iPod or iPad.
 Goodbye to cable syncing, all Wifi based syncing with iTunes, cloud. Over-the-air

Wireless syncing & OTA software updates
 



9. iMessage: It’s a messaging service exclusively for iOS users, which comes with delivery and read receipts, an indicator for when the other party is typing, and the ability to push messages to all your devices. Just like BBM. You’ll be able to send messages, photos, videos, and contacts. Group messaging will also be available. It works over either WiFi or 3G and looks to be making good use of Apple’s new push notifications.

EKS Cluster and Create CSI Driver to store credentials in AWS Secrets Manager via SecretProviderClass

EKS Cluster | CSI Driver | SecretProviderClass | AWS Secrets Manager Setup EKS Cluster and Manage Credentials at runtime using CSI driver using SecretProviderClass and Secrets Manager Assuming you have Configured/Installed AWS CLI, EKSCTL, KUBECTL, HELM. CSI Basic Information: CSI (Container Storage Interface) widely used as a Storage Technology. Created by Google | Mesosphere | Docker.  It has two two Plugins one runs on the Master Node (Centralized Controller Plugin) and another one on Worker Nodes (Decentralized headless Node Plugin).  CSI communication protocol is gRPC.   The communication between Container Orchestration to Controller Plugin (Master) and to Node Plugin (Worker Node) happens using gRPC .  CSI Drivers : vendor specific compiled into Kubernetes/openshift binaries. To use a CSI driver, a StorageClass needs to be assigned first.  The CSI driver is then set as the Provisioner for the Storage Class. CSI drivers provide three main service...

Linux Systems Performance/Observability (BPF (bpfcc-tools), BCC Tools

  Linux System Performance/Observability Tools Linux Systems Performance/Observability (BPF (bpfcc-tools), BCC Tools Assuming you have Linux Server in place and have the required BPF aka BCC related packages installed on the system(s) for the required Linux distribution. BPF(eBPF) aka BCC Tools (bpfcc-tools) : BPF, which originally stood for Berkley Packet Filter is the dynamic tracing tools for Linux Systems.  BPF initially used for the speeding up for the tcpdump expressions and since then it has been know as the extended Berkley packet Filter (eBPF).  Its new uses are Tracing Tools where it provides programmability for the BPF Compiler Collection (BCC) and bpftrace front ends .   Example: execsnoop, biosnoop etc is a BCC Tool. When facing production performance crisis these such list of tools comes handy to trace and fix the issue. However, it requires certain KERNEL level config options to be enabled such as CONFIG_FTRACE, CONFIG_BPF. Profiling tools typically re...
