Recently when recording an episode of the FinOps on Azure podcast with Rik Hepworth which will be out soon we discussed a scenario where we have a cost issue because something went wrong with an Azure solution. In this article we will explore that problem and how you can implement some protection for it.

In the digital age, effective document management is the cornerstone of operational efficiency, especially within platforms like SharePoint. SharePoint serves as a central repository for a myriad of documents—each vital for the day-to-day function of a business. However, without proper management, this repository can quickly turn into an unnavigable maze.

Observability tools help engineering teams understand the health and behavior of software. But the term “health” in the context of this type of tooling is fairly narrow in scope—pertaining to real-time performance, reliability, and availability. While these are three important metrics to monitor, they’re lagging indicators of bigger issues happening upstream.

In this blog, we look at how cloud storage solutions have evolved in recent years and explore some of the key connectivity considerations as businesses store more data in the cloud. Cloud storage is probably the oldest and most familiar cloud application, best defined as storing data on ‘someone else’s computer’.

Every day, operators receive mountains of alerts to sift through. Prioritizing alerts based on impact and severity can seem impossible. And constantly evolving IT environments increase complexity by orders of magnitude. Knowing which alerts to prioritize is extremely difficult, especially without the critical context to make those alerts actionable.

I had the pleasure of returning to DrupalCamp FL (DCFL) again this year and even now in its sixteenth year, DCFL 2024 was as lively and energetic as ever. Approximately 130 people descended upon Florida Technical College to share their experiences and knowledge surrounding Drupal and I’m here to share the highlights!

SensorFlow’s Co-Founder and CTO on using technology to do more with less and why the platform approach will always win Like many entrepreneurs, Pagel’s step into business was borne out of a desire to do things differently. His founder journey began in 2016 in Singapore — a place he still calls home today. While working as a research associate at a university, he became frustrated with the science ecosystem and how it all worked.

There is a Polish proverb: “Co za dużo to niezdrowo,” which more or less translates to “Enough is as good as a feast.” (Or, translated verbatim: “Too much of something can be unhealthy.”) Sometimes this is true for data as well. At Grafana Labs, we’re always introducing products and features that help you make sense of that abundance of data, either by efficient visualizations, adaptive observability, or apps dedicated to specific workflows and use cases.

Monitoring your identity provider’s logs is critical to identify potential security threats. These logs are vital for a security team, who may store them in a specialized tool like Grafana Loki for enhanced accessibility and analysis. The ability to pinpoint specific patterns within these logs is key — and by crafting these patterns into Loki queries, you can conduct focused searches across logs.
