We are very excited to announce a new capability for our Amazon S3 sources. Until recently, the only method Sumo Logic used for discovering new data in an S3 bucket was periodic polling. However, with our new notification-based approach, users can now configure S3 sources such that Sumo Logic is notified immediately (via AWS SNS) whenever a new item is added to an S3 bucket, eliminating the need to wait for new objects to be discovered via periodic polling.

We’re excited to announce the general availability of our new On-Prem, Self-Hosted, and Multi-Cloud logging platforms. Our customers will have the capability to log data in their infrastructure of choice. Whether across multiple public/private clouds or within a customer’s own data center, logs can be viewed through a unified interface while addressing any data locality and performance requirements.

As Cota Healthcare moved to Kubernetes on Google Cloud, it chose Sysdig for Kubernetes monitoring and container security. With Sysdig, Cota accelerates healthcare service development, improves capacity planning, fixes issues rapidly, and strengthens its security posture.

With the genesis of Amazon Web Services, enterprises of all sizes can now take advantage of the public cloud to deliver significantly more agility and control. With AWS, elastic infrastructure is easier to attain, and usage spikes are an afterthought. Only days apart, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are arguably the two biggest days in retail. They’re what make “web scale” a requirement for leading eCommerce organizations throughout the world.

We recently implemented a Spark streaming application, which consumes data from from multiple Kafka topics. The data consumed from Kafka comprises different types of telemetry events generated by mobile devices. We decided to host the Spark cluster using the Amazon EMR service, which manages a fleet of EC2 instances to run our data-processing pipelines.

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk allows you to quickly provision the infrastructure needed for an entire application without the hassle of managing the configuration of EC2 instances, Elastic Load Balancers, Auto Scaling, and many other AWS services. Elastic Beanstalk also automatically monitors these resources and provides a simplified view into your application’s health.

Now that we’re all saving money on our Azure bills, it’s time to backup those Azure VM disks. Skeddly now supports the creation and deletion of Azure disk snapshots with our two new actions: Backup Virtual Machines, Delete Disk Snapshots. Both of these actions work like their AWS counterparts.
