an activity to break up the wine drinking
“The last thing I bought and loved was a sauna. It came on a truck from Sweden. It looks like a little troll barrel and I have it in my garden by one of the two lakes. It’s admittedly a faff, because you have to build a fire, then come back in the house and wait for it to heat up. But there’s nothing else to do where I live, in Northamptonshire.
I think this means “thing you use to run and manage container based applications on public and/or private cloud.” Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure. // You know, “multi-cloud.” // Anyhow, congrats to this year’s winners.
