Microsoft Azure customers worldwide now gain access to HackerBay’s Fyipe to take advantage of the scalability, reliability, and agility of Azure to drive application development and shape business strategies.
Energy storage and sustainability are big issues in Hawaii, where oil tankers are shipped in everyday, just to keep the lights on. Resiliency in the energy grid, due to threat of natural disaster, is critical. Energy storage is needed to manage how much solar energy is coming into the market or into the grid. Properly managing the power entering the grid is vital for grid stability since Hawaii has intermittent energy that floods the grid.
Elastic is prepping for Elasticsearch 8.0, but in the meantime is rolling out upgrades and features with Elasticsearch 7.7. The new version introduces asynchronous search as well as changes with Elasticsearch clusters, mapping, SQL enhancements, snapshots and machine learning. This post will cover just a few of the highlights of the new release. Besides asynchronous search, ES 7.7 also introduces multi-class classification, reduced heap usage, inference time features, and better password security.
In the following example, we will be creating a histogram in Grafana. Our datasource is Prometheus’s cumulative histogram. I have captured the metrics using micrometer’s distribution summary.
One of the most popular cloud disaster recovery models in the industry today is the “pilot light” model where critical applications and data are in already place so that it can be quickly retrieved if needed. A simple question one must ask before adopting this model is what thought has been given to whether the AWS/GCP/Azure APIs will work and if the requisite capacity will be available in the alternate region.
This tip is for those who are using Prometheus federation to monitor multiple clusters. How should alertmanager be configured for multiple clusters? Let us say that if there’s an issue for Cluster A it only needs to send an alert for cluster A? In such cases, every alert should be routed to proper team based on labels (if there is problem with application A on cluster B - team responsible should be notified). In the above case, two alerts are triggered by the same rule.
Introduction One of the SRE team’s goals at Moogsoft is to make sure our feature teams have an easy path from local code changes to production. Changes rolling out to production mean new features, bug fixes, optimizations, and more, which translates into value added for our customers. In short, at Moogsoft we are all about making sure our product is continually evolving, and one way the SRE group helps is by building shared Jenkins functionality our engineers understand and can use quickly.
The trend of working from home has hit the ground running, and businesses have turned to strategies and tools that will ensure a no-plummet productive environment. There are two major forks in the road when it comes to provisioning remote endpoints—users can use their own devices, or the company can hand over corporate-owned devices.
Creating security policies for the devices connected to your network is critical to ensuring that company data is safe. This is especially true as companies adopt a bring-your-own-device model and allow more personal phones, tablets, and laptops to connect to internal services. These devices, or endpoints, introduce unique vulnerabilities that can expose sensitive data if they are not monitored.
