In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman outlined some of the new products he expects Apple to announce at its "Let Loose" event on May 7. First, Gurman now believes there is a "strong possibility" that the upcoming iPad Pro models will be equipped with Apple's next-generation M4 chip, rather than the M3 chip that debuted in the MacBook Pro and iMac six months ago. He said a key new feature of the M4 chip will be an upgraded Neural Engine that boosts performance for AI tasks, and he believes Apple will market the next iPad Pro as an AI-powered device. Second, he said that the new Apple Pencil that is expected to be announced at the event will feature haptic feedback for the first time. While he did not provide any details about how this will work, perhaps the Apple Pencil will have a small Taptic Engine that vibrates when switching between drawing tools, and using the rumored "squeeze" gesture that MacRumors previously discovered within the iPadOS 17.5 beta's code. Third, he reiterated that Apple will introduce a first-ever 12.9-inch version of the iPad Air, and a redesigned Magic Keyboard for iPads. Apple's event begins on May 7 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. Eastern Time), with a video stream to be available on Apple.com and on YouTube.Related Roundup: iPad ProTags: Apple Pencil, Mark Gurman, May 2024 Apple EventBuyer's Guide: 11" iPad Pro (Don't Buy), 12.9" iPad Pro (Don't Buy)Related Forums: iPad, iPad Accessories This article, "Apple Event Rumors: iPad Pro With M4 Chip and New Apple Pencil With Haptic Feedback" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

New iPads are coming, and Apple is holding a virtual event to introduce them! While it appears likely to be a relatively short video event, we should be seeing new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, some new accessories, and perhaps some additional surprises. Other Apple news and rumors this week included word that Apple is FINALLY planning to introduce a native Calculator app for the iPad later this year, the release of a fresh round of betas for iOS 17.5 and related operating system updates, and perhaps the end of the road coming for Apple's FineWoven accessories, so read on below for details on these stories and more! Apple Announces 'Let Loose' Event on May 7 Apple this week announced that it will be holding its first event of the year on Tuesday, May 7, at 7 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. Eastern Time). During the event, Apple is expected to unveil new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, along with updated Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard accessories. As always, there could be other surprises in store too. The event invitation has a tagline of "Let Loose" and includes an artistic render of an Apple Pencil. The event will be streamed on Apple.com and on YouTube, and we will have full coverage of everything announced. Tim Cook Hints at New Apple Pencil Just moments after Apple announced its "Let Loose" event taking place on May 7, Apple CEO Tim Cook hinted at a new Apple Pencil. "Pencil us in for May 7," said Cook, in a post shared on social media platform X. The next-generation Apple Pencil is rumored to feature a new "squeeze" gesture for certain actions, and it may support Apple's Vision Pro headset starting with visionOS 2 later this year. Apple Finally Plans to Release a Calculator App for iPad Later This Year Apple is finally planning a Calculator app for the iPad, over 14 years after launching the device, according to a source familiar with the matter. iPadOS 18 will include a built-in Calculator app for all iPad models that are compatible with the update, which should be widely released in September. A revamped Calculator app for macOS 15 will likely be based on the iPad app. Apple Seeds Third Beta of iOS 17.5 to Developers Apple this week made the third betas of iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 available to developers and members of its public beta program for testing. iOS 17.5 introduces the ability to download select iPhone apps via the web in the EU, adds a new Quartiles game for Apple News+ subscribers in select countries, and hints at new iPad and Apple Pencil features. FineWoven Accessories May Get One Last Outing Before Apple Pulls Plug A leaker this week claimed that Apple had stopped production of FineWoven accessories following poor reviews from customers, but they later said that Apple may offer the accessories in one final set of new colors before discontinuing them for good. FineWoven is a fabric material that Apple introduced after it announced that it would no longer make leather accessories for the iPhone and other devices. Customers have complained about FineWoven accessories being prone to scratches and stains. Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail Stores Apple launched its Vision Pro headset in the U.S. in early February, but a recent report claims that customer interest in the device has dramatically slowed. Apple said it will release the Vision Pro in additional countries later this year, and that will likely include the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, China, Singapore, and South Korea. Vision Pro starts at $3,499, limiting customer demand for the device, but a less-expensive model will likely be released in the future.

Apple's upcoming "Let Loose" event "will be accompanied by an event in London," according to The Independent's Andrew Griffin. The report does not provide any additional details about what will be happening in London, but it might simply be a briefing that allows journalists in the UK to receive hands-on time with the new iPads and other products that Apple is expected to announce next month. Apple has frequently invited the media to hands-on briefings in New York City, and it also held a briefing in Toronto, Canada for the new MacBook Air models last month. Apple's "Let Loose" event begins on Tuesday, May 7 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time, which will be 3 p.m. local time in London. New devices and accessories expected to be announced at the event include two new iPad Pro models, two new iPad Air models, an updated Apple Pencil, and a redesigned Magic Keyboard for iPads, and there is always a chance of a surprise or two. A video stream of the event will be available on Apple.com and on YouTube. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has repeatedly said that he expects Apple to launch its Vision Pro headset in additional countries before its developers conference WWDC, which begins June 10. Could the accompanying "event" in London allow journalists in the UK to receive hands-on time with the Vision Pro too? It could make sense for Apple to launch the Vision Pro internationally before it announces visionOS 2 at WWDC. Of course, this is all just some pre-event speculation for fun based on a single sentence in a British newspaper. Apple's actual plans remain to be seen.Tag: May 2024 Apple Event This article, "Apple Event Next Month Said to Be 'Accompanied By an Event in London'" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

Apple is "unlikely" to hold an event to announce new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, according to sources cited by Taiwanese supply chain publication DigiTimes. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman already said Apple was not planning to hold an event for the new iPads, but he made this claim back in early March, before it was reported that the devices were postponed due to manufacturing delays. With the new iPads now expected to launch in early May, DigiTimes believes Apple is still not planning to hold an event. Instead of an event, it is likely that Apple will announce the new iPads in a press release shared on its website, as it did for the MacBook Air models with the M3 chip in early March. Gurman believes Apple will announce the new iPads by the second week of May, barring any further delays due to production challenges. Gurman said two factors contributing to the new iPads being delayed were Apple still finishing iPadOS software development for the new iPads, and advanced manufacturing techniques for the OLED displays that the devices will use. A recap of the iPad-related products that Apple is expected to announce: Two new iPad Pro models with the M3 chip, OLED displays, a thinner enclosure, thinner bezels, a matte screen option, a landscape-oriented front camera, other design changes, and possibly MagSafe wireless charging. Two new iPad Air models with the M2 chip and a landscape-oriented front camera, including a first-ever 12.9-inch iPad Air. A new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro with an aluminum enclosure, larger trackpad, and other design tweaks. A new Apple Pencil, which may have a new "squeeze" gesture for certain actions and support visionOS eventually.It has been nearly 18 months since Apple last released new iPads, so customers have been waiting a long time for updated models to launch. 2023 was the first year in which Apple did not release any new iPads in the device's history.Related Roundups: iPad Air , iPad ProTag: DigiTimesBuyer's Guide: iPad Air (Don't Buy), 11" iPad Pro (Don't Buy), 12.9" iPad Pro (Don't Buy)Related Forum: iPad This article, "Apple Event for New iPads Still Considered 'Unlikely' Following Delays" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

In the dynamic and often complex environment of Kubernetes, observing and understanding the state of your cluster is essential. If you can't examine the condition of your running applications, effectively managing them becomes a challenge, if not impossible. This is where the concept of observability comes into play, and Kubernetes Events play a pivotal role in this context. In this blog post, you'll learn what Kubernetes Events are and how to collect them. Let’s get started! What are Kubernetes Events?Kubernetes Events are resources that provide insights and visibility into the operational aspects of the cluster, such as why certain actions were taken or why they failed, serving as a useful tool for understanding the state and behavior of Kubernetes resources. Kubernetes Events are generated whenever there's a change in the state of cluster resources such as Nodes, Pods, Containers, and other Kubernetes objects like Deployments, Services, etc. It’s important to note that Kubernetes Events are temporary in nature and, by default, are not stored permanently. Instead, they are kept in "etcd", the Kubernetes key-value data store, and are retained for a short period (typically one hour). This helps in managing the storage and performance impact on the "etcd" database. Types of Kubernetes EventsKubernetes Events can broadly be categorized into two types: Normal Events: These events signify expected and routine operations in the cluster, like a Pod being scheduled or an image being successfully pulled.Warning Events: Warning events indicate issues that users need to address. These might include failed Pod scheduling, errors pulling an image, or problems with resource limits.How to Collect Kubernetes EventsIn Kubernetes, there are two primary commands for collecting event data: kubectl describe and kubectl get events. kubectl describeThe kubectl describe <RESOURCE> command provides detailed information about a specified resource, including a section titled Events at the end. Below is an example of the Events section from the output of a kubectl describe <POD_NAME> command for a running nginx Pod: While the kubectl describe command provides a detailed overview of a specific resource, including recent events, its event data can be somewhat limited. It does not offer options for deeper analysis. This is where the kubectl get events command, designed specifically for handling event data, comes into the picture. kubectl get eventsThis command displays all events related to all objects in the current namespace. Below is a screenshot showing the output of the kubectl get events command for a running nginx Pod: As you can see, the event feed provides several key pieces of information: LAST SEEN: Timestamp of when the event was last observed.TYPE: Indicates if the event is Normal or a Warning.REASON: A short string that describes the event.OBJECT: The Kubernetes object (like a Pod or Deployment) associated with the event.MESSAGE: A description of the event.With kubectl get events, you can use additional flags to focus on exactly what you need. Next, we'll look at how to use these flags to better organize and understand your Kubernetes Events. Filtering and Sorting Kubernetes EventsWhen working with Kubernetes Events, the volume of data can be overwhelming, especially in large clusters. Efficiently filtering and sorting these events is key to extracting meaningful insights. Here are some practical tips to help you manage this: Get a detailed view of eventskubectl get events -o wide Add the -o wide flag to get a comprehensive view of each event, including additional details not visible in the standard output. List events in a specific namespacekubectl get events --namespace=<NAMESPACE_NAME> Replace <NAMESPACE_NAME> with the actual namespace. This command filters events to show only those occurring in a specified namespace. List events across all namespaceskubectl get events -A Add the -A flag to see events from all namespaces. Stream live eventskubectl get events -w Add the -w command to stream events in real-time. This is particularly useful for monitoring ongoing activities or troubleshooting live issues, as it updates continuously as new events occur. Use Ctrl+C to terminate the stream. Use field selectors for precise filteringkubectl get events --field-selector type=<EVENT_TYPE> Add the --field-selector flag to filter events based on specific field values. Replace <EVENT_TYPE> with the event type you want to filter by. For example, kubectl get events --field-selector type=Warning will only show events of type Warning. This is particularly useful for isolating events related to errors or critical issues. Sort events by timestampkubectl get events --sort-by='.metadata.creationTimestamp' Add the –sort-by flag to sort events chronologically. This is useful for tracking the sequence of events and understanding their progression over time. Use JSON or YAML output for complex querieskubectl get events -o json kubectl get events -o yaml For complex filtering that can't be achieved with kubectl flags, you can output the events in a structured format like JSON or YAML by adding the -o json and -o yaml flags, respectively. You can then use tools like jq (for JSON) to perform advanced queries and analyses. Tools For Exporting Kubernetes EventsAs we've previously discussed, Kubernetes Events are inherently temporary, stored for only a short duration in the "etcd" database. This poses a challenge when it comes to long-term monitoring and analysis. To address this, several external tools have been developed, enabling the export of Kubernetes Events to more persistent destinations for extended analysis and integration with monitoring systems. Below, we explore some common tools that are widely used for exporting and monitoring Kubernetes Events: Eventrouter: Eventrouter is a tool that watches Kubernetes Events and forwards them to a specified destination, such as a logging platform. This helps in persisting Events beyond their default short lifespan, allowing for extended analysis and historical monitoring of the cluster's activities.kubernetes-event-exporter: This tool allows for the export of Kubernetes Events to multiple destinations with customizable routing and filtering. It's especially useful for transforming events into a more consumable format for various monitoring and alerting systems. kspan: It’s a tool that converts Kubernetes Events into elements called "spans", which helps in tracing the sequence and connection between different events in your Kubernetes cluster. This makes it much simpler to see how events are related and to understand the overall flow and impact of what's happening in the cluster. kubewatch: It monitors Kubernetes Events and notifies users of changes. It's well-suited for real-time alerting and integrates with various messaging platforms, keeping users informed about the operational state of the cluster. Each of these tools comes with its own unique set of features and capabilities, making them suitable for different needs and scenarios. Choose the tool that aligns best with your specific requirements and goals. ConclusionIn this blog post, we learnt what Kubernetes Events are, including their various types. We explored how to collect event data using two key commands: kubectl describe and kubectl get events, and discussed the use of different flags with kubectl get events for enhanced filtering and sorting. Lastly, we touched on several popular tools used to export Kubernetes events, allowing for persistent storage and long-term analysis and reporting. Unlock the Power of Kubernetes Today!

For the last three years, DockerCon, our annual global developer event, was 100% virtual. Still, we were humbled by the interest and response — tens of thousands of developer participants from around the world each year. Wow! (If you missed any of ’em, they’re available on YouTube: 2020, 2021, 2022!) With our collective global return to the “new normal,” DockerCon 2023 will be hybrid — both live (in Los Angeles, California) and virtual. Our desire is to once again experience the live magic of the hallway track, the serendipitous developer-to-developer sharing of tips and tricks, and the celebration of our community’s accomplishments … all while looking forward together toward a really exciting future. And for members of our community who can’t attend in person, we hope you’ll join us virtually! In the spirit of keeping this post brief, I’ll share a few community highlights here, but expect much more news and updates next week at DockerCon! Our open source projects — containerd, Compose, BuildKit, moby/moby, and others — continue to scale in terms of contributions, contributors, and stars. Thank you! And overall, our developer community is now at 20M monthly active IPs, 16M registered developers, 15M Docker Hub repos, and 16B image pulls per month from Docker Hub. Again, we’re humbled by this continued growth, engagement, and enthusiasm of our developer community. And in terms of looking forward to what’s next … well, you gotta tune-in to DockerCon to find out! But, seriously, there’s never been a better time to be a developer. To wit, with the digitization of All The Things, there’s a need for more than 750 million apps in the next couple of years. That means there’s a need for more developers and more creativity and innovation. And at DockerCon you’ll hear how our community plans to help developers capitalize on this opportunity. Specifically, and without revealing too much here: We see a chance to bring the power of the cloud to accelerate the developer’s “inner loop,” before the git commit and CI. Furthermore, we see an untapped opportunity to apply GenAI to optimize the non-code gen aspects of the application. By some accounts, this encompasses 85% or more of the overall app. Piqued your interest? Hope so! Looking forward to seeing you at DockerCon! sj Learn more Register for DockerCon.
