The moment after an incident is resolved is perhaps the most relaxing for any IT team. When your system is finally functioning properly it puts the entire organization at ease, but the most daunting task is yet to come: root cause analysis (RCA). Akin to football teams watching previous plays to pinpoint areas of improvement, root cause analysis goes through data and finds what initially caused the incident.
The recent disclosure of CVE-2020-1472 vulnerability by Microsoft showcases the need for tools that allow defenders to quickly replicate published exploit code, register attack data, and create signatures or other mitigations against released exploits with a high likelihood of exploitation against popular infrastructure or operating systems.
In some industries, Covid-19 has served as a war cry to push the lever on progressive digital initiatives. Urgency amid dire uncertainty created a reason to move forward and faster. Surveys have also indicated a much stronger focus on public cloud infrastructure, as IT leaders gravitate toward cost-effective, on-demand scalability.

Log maintenance has a hidden cost. Engineers optimize their instance types, storage, networking, dependencies, and much more. However, we rarely consider the engineers themselves. A DevOps culture encourages engineers to own the solutions they build. While this increases team autonomy, it risks splitting the precious bandwidth that the team has. Automation is what makes the DevOps cycle work, and it has to cover log analysis to do a thorough job of catching issues.
Fundamentally, there are logs that will be of intrinsic value to you, and others that are less business-critical. Are you aware of the logging cost to handle, analyze and store these different types of logs? Should you really have the same approach for mission-critical logs as you do for info or telemetry logs? Differentiating your approach for different logs is challenging. If no two logs are truly the same then why should you treat them the same?
