Most production environments have started using containers as they are easily scalable, cost-effective, better than virtual machines, and faster deployable. Of course, it is easier when working with 10-20 containers but imagine if your production environment of a Kubernetes cluster has hundreds of containers. It becomes challenging to manage the container lifecycle with multiple containers running in parallel. That is why you need a container orchestration platform/tool to manage all the automated deployment, scaling, organizing, and management of containers....

The idea of items you can’t really do anything with (besides equipping them) in a looter title is one of the most frustrating concepts that we can imagine in a video game. While the sad truth of the matter is that your ability to interact with Outriders‘ locked gear is fairly limited relative to the other items in the game, you’re not necessarily doomed to look at these often unwanted items for the rest of the campaign....

While the Overwatch 2 beta is in its earliest days (earliest hours, really), even a little time with the game has revealed a series of improvements that may be enough to lure lapsed players back into the experience. That’s the funny thing about Overwatch 2. At the moment, it’s actually more of a massive patch or rework of Overwatch than the kind of experience that we typically associate with traditional video game sequels....

There are a lot of evil people on Ozark. The Navarro cartel was filled with your stereotypical drug villains. Morally corrupt federal agent Roy Petty (Jason Butler Harner) served as a hateable antagonist in the first couple of seasons. Darlene Snell (Lisa Emery) was the type of old hag you love to despise. Helen Pierce (Janet McTeer) showed the result of what the Byrdes would eventually become. But no person in the show was more frequently loathsome than Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney)....

The evolution of PC gaming features ups, down, important characters, and many, many chapters. And these chapters are not always so clearly defined. There is much debate about which pivotal moments define the history of PC gaming. There is no universally agreed upon series of innovations that form the story of PC gaming to this day, but we’ve taken a crack at identifying the landmark occurrences which not only forever changed the way we play on our PCs but that helped shape the nature of the video game industry as we know it and as it will become in the future....

Peacemaker Episode 8 Ever since Peacemaker first premiered on Jan. 13, there’s been an internet group effort to figure out where it stands among other superhero TV shows and DCEU projects in terms of quality. I certainly understand the impulse to rank things, having just eagerly participated in Den of Geek’s own ranking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But when it comes to Peacemaker, I had little desire to participate in these conversations....

The report cites information acquired by a “major UK retailer” which informed the publication that the PS5 stock they were allocated consisted of about 25% Digital Editions vs. 75% standard editions. Other sources noted that their stock ration was actually closer to 20% vs. 80%. While it’s noted that the exact figures can vary from location to location and retailer to retailer, the message seems clear that Sony is currently planning to ship significantly fewer PS5 Digital Editions....

Prison Break Season 5 Episode 7 The conspiracy plot was eventually going to come to a head, wasn’t it? Prison Break has always been tied into these bigger conspiracy plots. In the first season they kind of worked. Lincoln was framed for murder. He was a little guy caught up in the big system. Okay, cool. However, as the series went on the conspiracy plot got deeper and deeper and it just got weird....

Ken Kesey’s classic 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest has received a fashionable yet twisted facelift in Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series, Ratched. With this Sarah Paulson-starring series, the American Horror Story creator follows through on his reputation of gruesome twists and jaw-dropping turns. Ratched forms an interpretation of Nurse Ratched from Kesey’s novel, giving her a backstory that features a clandestine mission and the creation of a monster....

Every so often though, what The Simpsons speaks to UK viewers is momentarily baffling – a reminder that wherever Springfield is, it’s not where we’re from. The same goes for other US sitcoms beloved in the UK. However much kinship we share, our rules are different. These are the American sitcom plots that introduced British TV fans to some of the curious legal differences between us. Having to file a tax return when you’re not self-employed… as seen in The Simpsons In The Simpsons season nine episode ‘The Trouble With Trillions’, the people of Springfield rush to submit their annual tax returns before the deadline....

Maybe you’re dealing with an unruly customer, tolerating your boss’s constant inappropriate behavior, or experiencing never-ending episodes with your ex. It could also be for a brainstorming session with your business partner. In all these cases, along with other situations, it becomes necessary to keep records and proof of what’s going on. However, recording phone calls on iPhone isn’t the easiest thing to do because Apple prevents it for privacy and security purposes, as they should....

In 2009 Power Rangers RPM ended with a shot of main villain Venjix trapped in one of the team’s morphers. It was an ominous cliffhanger to end the season on, one fans have hoped for years would get some kind of resolution. Well, over 10 years later, it finally happened. The last two episodes of Power Rangers Beast Morphers not only brought back Venjix but also revealed he was actually Evox, the Beast Morphers’ main nemesis, all along!...

Rick and Morty Season 3, Episode 5 I certainly didn’t expect two truly brilliant Rick and Morty episodes in succession and, furthermore, that “The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy” might even be better than “Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender,” but here we are. Both episodes have razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud jokes throughout. Where “Whirly Dirly” has an edge over “Worldender” is that it takes the characters in completely new directions. With Community, Dan Harmon made a point of having a cast of characters who would be successfully entertaining, no matter how they were paired off, each configuration resulting in a fun and interesting dynamic....

Since that defining summer movie, Emmerich’s seen the genre ebb and flow, soar with humor and, in later years, reach for something a little more somber and sensitive. Yet when we sit down with him to discuss his latest bid in the format—this month’s high-concept sci-fi action-adventure, Moonfall—he’s reflective on just how hard it is to even make such a crowd-pleasing event that’s not based on a comic book in the age of Marvel Studios, DC Entertainment, and Lucasfilm dominating multiplexes during the summer… and all other seasons....

There are countless cases of password and data theft, credential stuffing, and other crimes related to passwords. Password theft can devastate a business and expose its sensitive information. People nowadays are burdened with plenty of passwords used for social media, bank accounts, employee logins, and other applications they use every day. Therefore, forgetting passwords is common. But it leads to security and privacy issues, reduced productivity, frustration, and unnecessary stress....

With Black Widow set largely in the past, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is technically the feature film kickoff to Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the exception of the end credits scenes, it’s the first Phase 4 feature set in the aftermath of the Thanos Snap or Blip, and it introduces a set of characters and a region of the MCU that we have not yet explored....

If the Craig run is remembered by one thing though (besides its return to a grittier, more psychologically complex 007), it will be that for the first time the series told one overarching story over the course of the actor’s entire run. Craig’s debut, 2006’s Casino Royale, was followed in 2008 by Quantum of Solace, which essentially acted as an extended coda to its predecessor—something the series had never done before....

Spencer opens with a close up shot of a dead pheasant, as a multitude of land rovers bring lavish supplies to Sandringham ahead of the seasonal celebrations, the wheels perilously close to the pheasant as they pass. Not a candle in the wind, then, this Diana, but a bird with its wings already clipped just waiting to have its head crushed by the unstoppable force of oncoming traffic. It’s a mood established from the first which is pervasive throughout....

Those are just two of the ridiculously fun monsters that Stan (McGinley) and Evie Barrett (Janet Varney) will have to face as their lives in Willard’s Mill continue to be one endless nightmare after another. “There’s so much real horror, how about a little fake horror?” series creator Dana Gould says, pitching some much needed escapism from our current nightmarish reality. Let’s see what fun is in store for Stan Against Evil season 3, shall we?...

One of the boldest aspects of Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 was the shocking revelation that a character from the Mirror Universe — Captain Lorca — had really been pulling the strings in the Prime Universe the whole time. And, if you thought you’d left the Mirror Universe behind when the USS Discovery jumped back in Season 1, think again. In Season 3, Episode 6, “Scavengers,” Discovery teases that the events in the Mirror Universe may still be hugely relevant to what’s happening now....
