An easy way to communicate with Elasticsearch and Elastic Cloud using Arduino IoT devices At Elastic®, we are constantly looking for new ways to simplify search experience, and we started to look at the IoT world. The collection of data coming from IoT can be quite challenging, especially when we have thousands of devices. Elasticsearch® can be very useful to collect, explore, visualize, and discover data — for all the data coming from multiple devices.

Are you looking for an OpenTelemetry alternative? Then you've come to the right place. There are no good alternatives to OpenTelemetry if your use case involves generating different types of telemetry signals like logs, metrics, and traces and their collection. In certain use cases, like monitoring only metrics or time-series data, you can use a tool like Prometheus. If you’re sure you want an OpenTelemetry alternative, then let me point you to these three here.

Let’s embark on a new journey as we begin a series of blog posts dedicated to the migration of BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services. I’d like to highlight that when I mention the migration to Azure Integration Services (AIS), I’m making a clear distinction from Logic Apps. This differentiation is important because, contrary to what some consultants and salespeople may suggest, migrating BizTalk Server entirely to Logic Apps is not a viable path!

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) have become the cornerstone of efficient development, serving as the central hub where development teams access the tools and resources necessary for coding, testing, deploying, and maintaining software applications. As software development continues to evolve rapidly, IDPs are crucial in maintaining a competitive edge. This introduction sets the stage for the technical insights that will follow, sharing 5 tips for effective Internal Developer Platform management.

AWS’s serverless technologies are popular because they provide cost effective scaling and great separation of concerns. However, observing serverless architectures like Lambda is challenging due to their transient nature and abstracted infrastructure. Unlike traditional systems with consistent hosts, serverless functions are ephemeral, often scaling rapidly and operating in isolation.

In our previous blog, we introduced smartNICs as technology enablers for next-generation converged data centres. We covered how smartNICs can increase efficiency and drive return on investment. In this blog post, we explain how this innovative technology can help the telecom industry. SmartNICs use cases for the telecom sector are still emerging. However, when they arrive, it will be big for the sector, especially at edge clouds where speed in user plane packet processing matters the most.

Aiven for Apache Kafka® improves stability and lowers latency.

Icinga 2.14 introduced a new feature that allows to better model complex dependencies between your hosts and services: redundancy groups. Let’s take an e-mail server as an example. In order to deliver outgoing messages, it has to look up the addresses of the destination servers and relies on DNS for doing so. For incoming messages, it has to know which accounts exist and in a corporate environment, this typically means looking up user accounts in a directory service like LDAP.

When it comes to managing services effectively, terms like SLA, SLO, and SLI are often thrown around like confetti at a parade. They’re in meetings, in documents, and even in casual office conversations. But if you’re new to the field or simply haven’t had the chance to dig into these acronyms, they can feel like a bewildering alphabet soup. And they can’t be missing on an uptime monitoring blog such as ours! So, what do these terms really mean?

In the ever-evolving landscape of network security, the challenges faced by Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and technical managers are multifaceted, and the need for robust security measures becomes paramount. Amidst this backdrop, network segmentation remains a pivotal strategy. This article delves into the intricacies of network segmentation, its significance, and a roadmap to its successful implementation.
