Solar Bytes - November 2024
Happy November! I hope everyone who celebrates had a fun and safe Halloween/Samhain/Dia de los Muertos celebration. October was filled with big updates from SolarWinds with our Observability announcement and product updates. The busyness is starting to wind down for the year as we enter change freezes and preparations for 2025 on top of the general holiday hustle and bustle. We’re also wading through the IT event season! We hope to see you at one or more of the events planned for November.
