Cloud computing is no longer the future; it’s our reality. This means that the decision to move ITSM to the cloud isn't just an option. It's a strategic necessity. For business and IT leaders in the early stages of this transformation, understanding the benefits of cloud-based ITSM is pivotal. Here are five advantages that this shift can bring to your organization.

GitHub Actions is a CI/CD platform that allows you to define custom workflows and automate various tasks within your software development projects. With GitHub Actions, you can set up continuous integration and deployment pipelines, run tests, perform code analysis, and execute other actions whenever specific events occur, such as pushing code to a repository or creating a pull request.

Azure Monitor is a convenient tool designed to help you enhance the performance and accessibility of your various services and applications. A comprehensive solution, this tool helps teams analyze data from cloud-based and on-premises environments. In this post, we'll discuss the best metrics for monitoring Microsoft Azure Event Hubs, and how to get the most from the tool. Get started with a quick demo of MetricFire today to take charge of your network performance!

Organizations increasingly leverage Azure to host their applications and services in today’s cloud-driven world. However, efficiently managing Azure resources ensures optimal performance, cost-effectiveness, and resource utilization. One essential aspect of resource management is rightsizing. In this blog post, we’ll explore the concept of rightsizing Azure resources and provide practical tips on optimizing your deployments.

Architecting cloud instrumentation to secure a complex and diverse enterprise infrastructure is no small feat. Picture this: you have hundreds of virtual machines, some with specialized purposes and tailor-made configurations, thousands of containers with different images, a plethora of exposed endpoints, s3 buckets with both public and private access policies, backend databases that need to be accessed through secure internet gateways, etc.

Cloud computing was originally pitched as a cost-savings alternative to traditional IT infrastructure. The concept was simple: only purchase what you need and adjust those resources up and down based on demand. This eliminated large up-front costs and made it possible to right-size the amount of compute and storage infrastructure based on a specific workload. While that might have been true in the beginning, CIOs are finding themselves in a different situation today.

Amazon’s CloudHealth and VMware’s CloudHealth are two of the most popular cloud management and system monitoring platforms today. But which platform does what, and are they even direct competitors? In this post, we'll compare the two services and highlight their main differences so you can choose which to use — or whether to use both.

We all use Kubernetes on a daily basis, and the more we use it, the more it is apparent that Kubernetes alone will not be as fruitful as it will be with deeper integrations. One of these integrations is Microsoft Azure, which provides the ability to connect, use, and retrieve information from services on your behalf.

Azure Storage Integration! Sounds like a mouthful, doesn’t it? If you’ve been around the block in the world of cloud computing, you’ve probably heard of Azure and its seemingly limitless storage capabilities. In this article, we will dissect this powerful service, shedding light on what it is, how it works, and how you can leverage it to make your cloud journey smoother and more efficient.

Organizations use the cloud for scalable computing and storage solutions to meet their changing business needs. However, another deployment model is quickly growing in popularity: edge computing. In fact, Gartner estimates that 75% of enterprise-generated data will originate and be processed at the edge by 2025.
