Our new S3-Eco Object Storage is live
After introducing Object Storage as a product at NETWAYS Web Services last year, we received a lot of positive customer feedback. A frequent request was for more cost-efficient long-term storage - which we can now offer with our new Object Storage variant “S3 Eco”.
Sebastian has covered the facts and differences between S3 and S3 Eco in a detailed blog post - you can find the link to the article here.

Track changes at a glance with watch -d
You may already know watch as a way to repeat a command every N seconds - but with the -d flag it automatically highlights
changes between two runs. Especially when monitoring environments or the state of a pipeline,
this saves you from manually searching for changes - for example, when you want to track the movement of the ISS.
