As many organizations have migrated their infrastructure, applications, and data to cloud offerings, adversaries have extended their operational capabilities in cloud environments to achieve their mission — whether that means stealing intellectual property, disrupting business operations, or holding an organization’s data for ransom.
Being able to visualize the logs from your infrastructure is crucial - both for identifying potential issues and identifying opportunities for improving performance and utilization. However, when it comes to SCOM and Azure, monitoring can be a bit confusing. That is why, we at SquaredUp, have made it our mission to help you make sense of all the data being collected with beautiful visualizations and dashboards that can be shared with the rest of your organization and displayed on wallboard monitors.
The new era of remote work has accelerated the need for businesses to adopt digital transformation strategies faster than ever to ensure their relevance and longevity in the marketplace. As priorities shift in this direction, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are quickly adapting to better serve their customers. Recently, LogicMonitor commissioned a research study of 500 IT decision-makers around the globe to understand how organizations are evolving in the face of unexpected crises.
This is the second in my series on the cloud. I started writing about cloud visibility and in this article, we take a look at cloud costs. If we look at the evolution of computing over the past 30 or so years, it has always been about monumental shifts in technology, which drive further and further innovation, efficiencies and – seemingly – cost reduction.
At Spot, we’re seeing more customers expand their Kubernetes operations, running production workloads with success and seeing positive improvements in performance and agility. Now, these companies are looking to optimize Kubernetes Day 2 operations, with a goal of cost optimization and infrastructure efficiency. Ocean by Spot gives users the leverage to take full advantage of the cloud resources in their container environments.
COVID-19 is leading to large-scale migrations away from on-premises environments, according to Codefresh’s second annual State of DevOps survey that revealed this and other surprising insights into the continued evolution of the industry. At the same time, DevOps automation continues to expand in scope and complexity with more and more processes becoming automated, and more involved technologies like Kubernetes continuing to gain strong traction.
A key metric for measuring how well you handle system outages is the Mean Time To Recovery or MTTR. It’s basically the time it takes you to restore the system to working conditions. The shorter the MTTR, the faster problems are resolved and the less impact your users would experience and hopefully the more likely they will continue to use your product! And the first step to resolve any problem is to know that you have a problem.
We’ve noticed interesting threads floating around the internet asking how would you explain serverless to a toddler. As it happens, we just turned three years old and to mark the occasion, we decided to take up the challenge and wrote a bedtime story, for serverless enthusiasts of all ages, about how serverless came to be, from the very beginning. It is a magical tale of the ingenious, life-changing journey that got us to a new universe called Serverless.
How much does your Kubernetes service cost to operate? This seems like a simple question, right? It’s one thing to say how much your Kubernetes cluster itself costs to operate — that, after all, is a group of real servers, associated with a specific number.
