The Splunk Augmented Reality (AR) team had an amazing experience developing all the new features we launched at .conf20. If you haven’t seen it, we highly encourage you to watch the AR .conf session and see the new features in action. After, you’ll probably share it with your colleagues because of how cool it was! :) Today we want to highlight Remote Collaboration in Splunk AR — we’ve taken “collaboration” to the next level.
Cloud cost-efficiency is a crucial ingredient for ensuring business success. However, uncoordinated attempts at reducing costs can create even greater inefficiencies and outright cloud waste. In this post we’ll focus on one example of this – using EC2 spot instances when AWS Savings Plans have already been purchased – and how Spot by NetApp intelligently utilizes all available cloud compute pricing models to eliminate cloud waste and achieve dramatic cost reduction.
Have you ever had trouble working with Elasticsearch clusters? You’re not alone. In this post, I will discuss a problem I’ve encountered working with large Elasticsearch clusters and how I solved it. I will share a lot of knowhow on major technical Elasticsearch concepts, some diagrams for illustration, and of course a cool solution! In particular, I will go into Elasticsearch nodes, indices, and shards.

For Monitive, that means finalizing all the features that our users need to completely migrate from the (now old) Monitive Classic to the new and shiny Monitive. We’re sunsetting Monitive Classic just before Christmas, so my number one goal is to ensure that every user only has downtime that they know about.
Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we’ve discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. This week we explore how credential stuffing attacks are evolving and why they pose a greater threat than meets the eye. Credential stuffing is perhaps the simplest form of cyberattack, but it continues to make headlines despite its lack of sophistication. It has become the attack method of choice for cybercriminals primarily because of its high success rate and ROI.
The last 3,650 days of my professional life have been focused on making Rails apps faster. Below are five lessons I've learned the hard way.
Evolving MySQL operations requires understanding how MySQL works. A good monitoring tool alerts on issues before they impact end users and helps reduce the MTTR of incidents when they do occur. But choosing a database monitoring solution can be tough due to the vast number of solutions available, each with their own pros and cons. In this blog post, I’ll review some of the best MySQL monitoring tools available that can help measure and improve database performance.
Benchmark tests measure a repeatable set of quantifiable results that serve as a point of reference against which products and services can be compared. Since 2018, Alexis Ducastel, a Kubernetes CKA/CKAD and the founder of InfraBuilder, has been running independent benchmark tests of Kubernetes network plugins (CNI) over a 10Gbit/s network. The latest benchmark in this periodic series of tests was published in September, and was based on CNI versions that were up-to-date as of August 2020.
