Students around the world are using FlashDrive to build research or studies projects and we love to see more and more each day using FlashDrive free tier to build education-related projects. We know that sometimes the Free tier is not enough to build big data project or simply projects that require a lot of dependencies or several micro-services working together.

In a recent survey of hybrid cloud decision makers, we uncovered a disconcerting trend. The vast majority of respondents reported that they are confident in their existing tools and capabilities for a whole host of activities necessary to manage cloud performance and spend … and yet they don’t have many of the tools that are actually needed to perform those tasks.

Monitoring AWS Lambda performance plays a crucial part in your everyday AWS Lambda usage. Monitoring helps you identify any performance issues, and it can also send you alerts and notify you of anything you might need to know. The world is slowly getting to a point where machines and computers will be flawless, but until then, if we let them perform various tasks for us, we could at least monitor their performance.

In this article, we’ll discuss the potential pitfalls that we came across when configuring ECS task definitions. While considering this AWS-specific container management platform, we’ll also examine some general best practices for working with containers in production.

As companies migrate to the cloud, they often overlook costs, instead focusing on innovation, speed, and flexibility. They assume the cloud is inherently cost-effective and less costly than on-premise infrastructure. As they expand their cloud operations, though, organizations soon realize that the same things that make the cloud alluring and extensively flexible, can also potentially push usage bills way beyond budget. Companies can struggle to find a balance between innovation and rising cloud costs.

For a number of years, the debate on DevOps vs. ITIL has divided many technology teams. On the surface, both practices seem at odds with one another—DevOps harnesses the power of human collaboration and communication to support innovation, while ITIL utilizes a more systematic and structured approach to deliver service quality and consistency. But, if we take a deeper look, you’ll find that not only can DevOps and ITIL co-exist, they can even complement each other.

As cloud adoption continues to increase, organizations are recognizing the need for cloud operations. CloudOps, as it’s often called, has become the industry standard for cloud-powered enterprises that intend to get the most out of their cloud services. Previously, it was common for organizations to rush into cloud adoption, with IT operations handling cloud installation, management, and maintenance tasks. The cloud, at the time, was considered to be a complementary extension of on-premise systems.

Our log agent is powerful, efficient, and highly adaptable. Now, with OpenTelemetry setting new standards in the observability space, we wanted to incorporate that collaboration into our log agent and offer our users the ability to take advantage of the OpenTelemetry ecosystem. Starting today, you can upgrade the log agents in your observIQ account to the new Open Telemetry-based observIQ log agent with a single click.
