Kubernetes: what are Endpoints

rtfm.co.ua – Usually, we don’t see Endpoints objects when using Kubernetes Services, as they are working under the hood, similarly to ReplicaSets which are “hidden” behind Kubernetes Deployments. So, Service is a…

What’s New in the Block Editor: Edit Your Images, Drag and Drop Blocks and Patterns, and More

From time-saving features to enhancements in your favorite blocks, these block editor improvements will help you build posts and pages on your site, no matter what you publish:

Crop and rotate your images with built-in editing toolsDrag and drop blocks and patterns for more controlDisplay a list of your pages with the new Page List blockMatch your brand palette with an improved Social Icons blockStrategically place your CTAs with a better Buttons blockManage your preferences in a refreshed panel

Let’s take a closer look.

Crop and rotate your images with built-in editing tools

Tired of switching between WordPress.com and an editing tool like Photoshop or Canva to make quick fixes to your images? There’s no need to leave the block editor to crop or rotate your photographs — you can now make changes with a few clicks in the toolbar that appears above the image.

Your original image is always saved in your Media Library, so you can crop and re-crop until you get it just right.

Drag and drop blocks and patterns for more control

Here’s a usability win: you can now drag and drop blocks and block patterns from the Block Inserter on the left directly into your editor canvas on the right. This gives you finer control over where you place new content on a post or page.

Display a list of your pages with the new Page List block

Say hello to the new block on the block: the Page List block! Let’s say you want to show a list of all of your recipe blog’s pages on a single page so readers can see an overview of your culinary content. You can use the new Page List block to automatically compile and display a hierarchical list of all your site’s published pages.

Match your brand palette with an improved Social Icons block

Does your current site background make certain social icons invisible or difficult to see? Do you want to customize the colors? With updates to the Social Icons block, you can now set custom colors for the icons and the icon background by using the color picker or specifying a HEX color code. Match your business or brand palette if you wish!

Strategically place your CTAs with a better Buttons block

A strong and visual call to action, or CTA, encourages interaction on your site, whether you’re a tax consultant seeking new leads with a Contact Me page or an online meditation teacher presenting your membership tiers on a Services page. Using the Buttons block, you can align your CTA buttons on a page, either horizontally (in a row) or vertically (stacked in a column). You’ll see this new vertical option in the block’s settings, so you can switch between layouts with ease.

Manage your block editor preferences in a refreshed panel

We’ve repackaged various options and settings for your block editor into a separate panel, sorted into four sections: General, Appearance, Blocks, and Panels. We hope this more streamlined panel helps you set up your block editor exactly as you want it.

Keep building with the block editor. We’ll keep improving it.

The block editor is continuously growing and improving as a result of your feedback — thank you. We can’t wait to see what you build next with it. In the meantime, we’re working hard behind the scenes, with more updates to come!

New research on how COVID-19 changed the nature of IT

The impact of COVID-19 was felt everywhere, and the world of IT—and its budgets—was certainly not spared. Yet, along with the general slowdown in IT investment were widespread reports about how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital transformation. To learn more about how organizations are shifting their technology priorities, Google commissioned a study by IDG to understand the impact of COVID-19 and its resulting implications to IT. This global survey of 2,000 IT leaders highlighted four key trends that are capturing the imagination of IT departments in 2021: (1) multicloud solutions that give organizations’ the flexibility to run apps where they need them, (2) data analytics solutions that provide real-time insights, (3) sustainability solutions that enable organizations to reduce their carbon emissions, and (4) security solutions that protect their data, applications, infrastructure, and customers. A deeper look at some of the results found that:Support for hybrid and multicloud is IT’s top priority: When considering cloud providers, 78% of respondents listed support for hybrid and multicloud as a must-have or major consideration factor. The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly highlighted the need for flexibility, resiliency, and redundancy in operations and development. IT leaders want the ability to write apps once and deploy them anywhere without feeling “locked in.”The promise of data intelligence continues to rise: Forty-four percent of digitally forward organizations (defined as those companies farther along in their digital transformation journeys) are currently using data analytics, AI/ML, and IoT technologies—this is 20% more than their more conservative peers. These more forward-looking companies are using disruptive and intelligent technologies to automate processes, make intelligent predictions, and streamline management and operations.Cloud has won over security skeptics: Eighty-four percent of those surveyed believe their cloud infrastructure is more secure or as secure as their on-premises infrastructure (vs. just 15% who believe on-premises is safer). Digging deeper into the research, IT leaders want more control over access to their data, as well as transparency and visibility into their provider’s operations. Sustainability is now an IT priority: Likely driven by shareholder and consumer pressures, 90% of respondents stated that sustainability is a priority and/or a performance metric for their IT department. However, even though the desire to become more sustainable is high, actions still lag behind. Only two-thirds of respondents reported their organizations have sustainability targets in place today. Many will choose providers with documented sustainability records, such as Google Cloud’s carbon neutrality commitments.There’s no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic changed the shape of IT for years to come.
