It is now the de facto standard for companies to operate across numerous regions and cloud-accounts. The reasons for this vary, and depending on where you sit in the organization, these reasons may be more or less apparent to you.

We recently had the privilege of presenting our telemetry data pipelining platform at Cloud Field Day. Today, we'd like to share a recap of our demo with you. In this demo, we explore the transformative potential of data profiling, telemetry pipeline optimization, and incident response. Foundationally, we follow an Understand, Optimize, and Respond workflow.

Microsoft Azure offers a choice of relational and non-relational database services to support a wide range of application needs and demands. Built-in intelligence helps automate management tasks like high availability, scaling, and query performance tuning to provide users with services that ensure applications are always available and performant. Many services offer essentially limitless database scale and SLAs (Service Level Agreements) usually range between 99.9-99.999% availability.

In this second episode, we explore a crucial element of your migration strategy - the Application Owner Interviews, a feature within Tidal Accelerator. These interviews are a game-changer, helping you make your migration not just IT-efficient but also business-driven.

Organizations that invest in cloud technologies like Microsoft Azure might notice that cloud costs can easily get out of control. When cloud services use the Pay-as-you-go payment model, small amounts must be paid each time a cloud service is used. However, when you have deployed hundreds of cloud resources, the total spending can end up with a much higher monthly bill than expected. By optimizing your cloud costs, you lower your monthly Azure bill and gain cost efficiency and predictability.

Webhooks, those wonderful little lifelines connecting one application to another, have become an essential part of our app notification world. They help keep your systems in the loop, notifying them immediately when events of interest occur. This real-time communication ensures that your applications remain responsive, adaptive, and always up-to-date with the latest information.

CloudZero’s overarching goal is to help companies maximize the return on their cloud investment. To do that, it’s essential that engineers be accountable for their cloud costs. They must prioritize cost equal to quality and security and keep costs in check from the earliest days of development through the most advanced stages of production. Year after year, getting engineers to take action tops the list of challenges FinOps practitioners face.
