DevOps in March: Everything #devs need to be aware of.

As the world went into lockdown, things have gone real tough for the devops engineers out there.

Excessive loads on data networks led companies to take desperate measures.

Rightly so, people seemed to be glued with their screens. Not that they're not glued otherwise.

In other news, AWS has finally launched a new low-cost HDD storage option to Amazon FSx to Windows FileServer. Now, that's some news to jump on.

That's all for this week's roundup. Be sure to check out next month's roundup.

Feel free to hit me up with any suggestions that you might have, or just leave a good-ol' comment down.
