Packet loss is one of the most common network problems that can occur at any moment, impacting various applications and services, including Internet performance. When users experience issues like slow loading times or dropped connections, their first instinct may be to wonder: Is the packet loss on my end or my ISP's end? How can I know if my ISP is experiencing packet loss? This question is crucial for both customers and ISPs.

AWS enables customers to retry or redrive Step Functions executions to continue any failed executions of Standard Workflows from their points of failure while maintaining all inputs. For example, if you find broken downstream logic in your code or experience unexpected errors upon execution, you can remediate those errors by fully re-running an execution or use redrive to continue this execution.

Microsoft Azure has announced the general availability of their confidential virtual machines (VMs) with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, powered by Ubuntu. This offering combines the hardware-based protection of AMD EPYC processors with NVIDIA’s latest GPU technology to enable secure and high-performance AI workloads in the cloud. Combining these technologies allows sensitive sectors to unlock AI adoption through addressing previous concerns of critical data privacy.

In the world of cloud computing, we rely on abstraction layers to manage complex systems. While this simplifies development, it also creates vulnerabilities for sensitive data. Traditionally, privileged software within the cloud has access to your data, and could pose a significant security risk, if not managed properly. But there’s a new way to protect your data: confidential computing.

Exciting times here at SolarWinds. We’re uniting our Self-Hosted and SaaS observability offerings under a single umbrella, SolarWinds Observability, and announcing a host of enhancements that will allow us to go even further to meet our customers' hybrid IT needs. Let’s take a look at what’s in store.

On October 1, 2024, TIBCO Mashery, an enterprise API management platform leveraged by some of the world’s most recognizable brands, experienced a significant outage. At around 7:10 AM ET, users began encountering SSL connection errors that appeared straightforward at first glance.

As both the State Of FinOps 2024 and the State Of Cloud Costs In 2024 indicate, reducing cloud waste remains a top priority for cloud-driven organizations. Cloud spenders care more than ever about cost efficiency — and CloudZero is working tirelessly to make cloud savings simpler. To this end, we’re proud to announce that we’ve added a suite of automated Azure optimizations to our already robust library of automated Insights.

SHARE Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps are messages sent by SNMP devices that notify network monitoring systems about device events or significant status changes. At LogicMonitor, our view on SNMP has evolved over the years. While we have often favored other logging methods that offered more insights and were considered easier to analyze in the past, we recognize that SNMP traps remain an essential tool in network management.

Recently, we announced the launch of Honeycomb for Frontend Observability, our new solution that helps frontend developers move from traditional monitoring to observability. What this means in practice is that frontend developers are no longer limited to a metrics view of their app that can only be disaggregated in a few dimensions. Now, they can enjoy the full power of observability, where their app collects a broad set of data as traces to enable much richer analysis of the state of a web service.
