Azure Virtual machines are one of the computing services offered by Azure. Azure VMs provide flexibility and agility, enabling organizations to swiftly deploy and scale applications without investing in and maintaining on-premises hardware. Azure VMs are fundamental in creating and managing the Azure cloud infrastructure. The concept of Azure VM rightsizing involves choosing the most suitable VM size for your workloads based on the resource requirements.

A powerful open-source container orchestration system, Kubernetes automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It’s a popular choice in the industry these days. Automating tasks like load balancing and rolling updates leads to faster deployments, improved fault tolerance, and better resource utilization, the hallmarks of a seamless and reliable software development lifecycle.

Are Git tasks like rebasing your Git branch or cherry-picking commits causing you headaches? Sometimes, without the right know-how, version control can turn seemingly simple tasks into daunting challenges. And when you’re collaborating among a team, the stakes are even higher. In addition to potentially losing your own code, you can compromise the work of other developers.

If you have large(r) customers, there is a point where they ask you for service-level agreements, or short SLAs. These are customer contracts defining different aspects of your service and what you guarantee for them. One common agreement is around availability, or, colloquially speaking, uptime. Your contract might state, and I am not a lawyer, that you guarantee that your service (or core parts of it) is available 99.99% of the time of a given period, mostly per month, quarter, or year.

When your apps and infrastructure rely on dozens of third-party providers for key functionality, it’s important to closely track their outages. If a service you rely on goes down, you need to move quickly to limit the outage’s impact on your users. IsDown provides a detailed status page aggregator and uptime monitoring for all your third-party dependencies.
