IBM Announces Multicloud Manager

https://www.ibm.com/cloud/multicloud-manager

It allows you to manage containers across all the biggest cloud providers.

You can now see your LinkedIn saved articles on the desktop!

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/saved-articles/

To save an article, you should see a little bookmark icon under all articles. Click that, and you'll get a DIC popup that tells you it's saved and give you a link to view all of your saved articles.
