Every year, I look forward to the release of the annual State of DevOps report (that’s the kind of exciting life I lead!). The evolution and adoption of DevOps in the past decade has been incredible — and this report always helps show what’s the next big thing that high-performing teams are adopting.

If you run a sizable enterprise, your network is probably sprawling. You also probably have a network management or IT security team on the payroll to handle monitoring. Their job is to check the network for potential security intrusions, make sure resources aren’t overloaded in one area, and otherwise ensure that things run smoothly.

Elastic on Amazon Web Services (AWS) gives you the power of Elastic Enterprise Search, Elastic Observability, Elastic Security as well as the Elastic Stack. You can quickly and easily search your environment for information, analyze data to observe insights, and protect your technology investment. Elastic Cloud lets you deploy your way, whether as a managed service or with orchestration tools you manage in the cloud.

This is part four of the “Well-Architected Serverless” series. In this post, we’ll talk about the Cost Optimization (COST) pillar of the Well-Architected Framework (WAF).

OpenStack, the cloud computing platform, has proved to be a beacon of success for open source. It rounds off 10 years in existence this year, a period which has seen it reach nearly 200 countries, and we want to look ahead to what the future holds for the technology.

If you’re reading this post, you may have decided to containerize your applications. That’s great!
