Cloud computing sometimes spoils one with choices. Let's just take a look at a couple of common cloud services. You can use cloud services to deploy and scale web and mobile apps besides monitoring them. AWS and Heroku provide cloud computing resources. AWS is from Amazon, while Heroku is from Salesforce. In this article, let us see which one is better to use from the start-up perspective.
On a given month, we get 1/3rd of requests for modernizing AIX workloads, and that’s perfectly fine because though it’s not a widely used platform there are still thousands of businesses running their mission-critical apps on AIX. Modernizing AIX workloads is a challenging task, and the next question that comes to your mind is where do you start.
Developers and operators on IT and development teams want powerful metric querying, analysis, charting, and alerting capabilities to troubleshoot outages, perform root cause analysis, create custom SLI / SLOs, reports and analytics, set up complex alert logic, and more. So today we’re excited to announce the General Availability of Monitoring Query Language (MQL) in Cloud Monitoring! MQL represents a decade of learnings and improvements on Google’s internal metric query language.
Come December, it’s traditional in the industry to meditate on emerging trends and make predictions about how these will shape the year to come. I have my fair share of prognostications for 2021, but I want to take this moment to reflect on a year that could never have been predicted.
Earlier this year, Gartner published a report called “How to Manage and Optimize Costs of Public Cloud IaaS and PaaS.” Overall, we agreed with the piece and wrote a blog post about what they get right (and where they miss). However, one thing that stood out to us is how many aspects of optimization Gartner described as very difficult — which CloudZero can help make easier.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a hot topic, but what exactly does it entail? And do you have to follow the principles to a T in order to achieve benefits from it? If you’re searching for answers to these common questions, look no further. In this episode of the Cloud & Culture podcast, VMware Tanzu’s Hannah Foxwell explains the what, why, and how of SRE—from key principles (such as SLI, SLO, and error budgets) to real-life examples of enterprise adoption.
Service Mesh is an emerging architecture pattern gaining traction today. Along with Kubernetes, Service Mesh can form a powerful platform which addresses the technical requirements that arise in a highly distributed environment typically found on a microservices cluster and/or service infrastructure. A Service Mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer for facilitating service-to-service communications between microservices.
Earlier this year, Gartner published “How to Manage and Optimize Costs of Public Cloud IaaS and PaaS,” by analysts Marco Meinardi and Traverse Clayton. As a company that is focused on enabling engineering teams with cloud cost intelligence, we were of course curious what they had to say. Now, if you are familiar with Gartner, you know they have a reputation for serving enterprise clients, so they can sometimes be — well, enterprisey.
