RDA enables enterprises to operationalize machine data at scale to drive AI & analytics driven decisions. RDA automates repetitive data integration, preparation and transformation activities using bots that are invoked in “no-code” data workflows or pipelines. RDA helps to move data in and out of AIOps systems thereby simplifying and accelerating AIOps implementations that otherwise would depend numerous manual data integrations and professional services activities.

AWS is one of the primary providers for services that help users deploy and manage their containerized applications on the cloud. Since launching ECS in 2014 and EKS in 2017, AWS has learned a lot about running containers at scale and in production. AWS developed Bottlerocket OS, a new operating system for hosting containers. This OS was specifically designed to address gaps left by the ECS and EKS-optimized AMIs, which are based on operating systems that run traditional software applications.

Today we’re proud to announce the general availability of Relay, a cloud-native workflow automation platform. We launched our public beta of Relay last June, and we’re now officially out of beta and open for business! We’ve been pretty busy during the beta period - early users have executed thousands of workflows, processed tons of events, and given us incredibly helpful feedback.

Grafana is a popular way of monitoring and analysing data. You can use it to build dashboards for visualizing, analyzing, querying, and alerting on data when it meets certain conditions. In this post, we’ll look at an overview of integrating data sources with Grafana for visualizations and analysis, connecting NoSQL systems to Grafana as data sources, and look at an in-depth example of connecting MongoDB as a Grafana data source.

Distributed systems such as microservices have defined software engineering over the last decade. The majority of advancements have been in increasing resilience, flexibility, and rapidity of deployment at increasingly larger scales. For streaming giant Netflix, the migration to a complex cloud based microservices architecture would not have been possible without a revolutionary testing method known as fault injection. With tools like chaos monkey, Netflix employs a cutting edge testing toolkit.

Trying to work out the best security tool is a little like trying to choose a golf club three shots ahead – you don’t know what will help you get to the green until you’re in the rough. Traditionally, when people think about security tools, firewalls, IAM and permissions, encryption, and certificates come to mind. These tools all have one thing in common – they’re static.

We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Spring 2021 update to the Alloy Software ITSM/ITAM platform, including Navigator, Navigator Express, and Discovery. This maintenance release (8.7.4) offers stability and usability improvements, resolves issues with external tool integrations in Discovery and Network Inventory, and addresses several issues reported in earlier versions. For detailed information about all changes in this update, please see Release Notes for your product.

Enterprises are increasingly moving their applications to containerized architectures (typically using Kubernetes, the most popular container orchestration platform in use today). They’re doing this to take advantage of the significant benefits containers provide—namely portability, flexibility, speed of deployment, DevOps agility and resource efficiency.
