SquaredUp Cloud has been in development for over two years (we first previewed it at SquaredUp Live, Spring 2021). It continues our mission to unlock and summarize data – think of it like “BI for engineering”. In building SquaredUp Cloud, we drew upon what we’ve learned with our Microsoft solutions over the last ten years, and built a solution independent of any one tool, like SCOM.
Every article you find about reducing Azure cost will invariably mention ensuring any unused (especially PAYG) resources are identified and shut down/deleted. However very few actually will tell you “HOW” to do this. eG Enterprise has added new functionality to enable you to identify unused, wasted and orphaned Azure resources and services without the need to resort to hacking up KQL queries or PowerShell scripts.
Although there are many great tools out there to get on top of application monitoring, there’s one vital metric that’s often overlooked by us technical folks – cost. In the days of running apps on servers in private datacenters, the kit was a one-time purchase that the systems team had to deal with. But running apps in public clouds is a different story. Whether you’re running on VMs, containers in Kubernetes, or entirely serverless, execution of your code adds to the bill.
Customers expect that online services are available all the time. The truth is that outages happen to almost everyone because providing 100% service availability is challenging and costly. Creating reliable and profitable service is, amongst other things, finding the balance between application availability, costs and time to market. Faster feature delivery means less availability as constant changes to production may cause issues and introduce bugs.
Much like in other production environments, the production of cloud services is based on and orchestrated by a plethora of tools-making part of cloud services' overall cloud infrastructure. Given how cloud services are as complex as they are intricate, a vast range of detailed steps need to be performed in a certain order for the production environment to run smoothly, whether it's carrying out maintenance procedures, updates and upgrades, or resolving issues to prevent downtime.
Partnership with Megaport helps Pulsant and its customers realize their potential.
Logging is a critical part of the software development lifecycle allowing developers to debug their apps, DevOps/SRE teams to troubleshoot issues, and security admins to analyze access. Cloud Logging provides a powerful pipeline to reliably ingest logs at scale and quickly find your logs. Today, we’re pleased to announce Log Analytics, a new set of features in Cloud Logging available in Preview, powered by BigQuery that allows you to gain even more insights and value from your logs.
