Looking back to our virtual event last week, Remote CTRL, we decided to round up some of the best literature out there around employee experience and technology. As workforces around the US and the globe continue to adapt to remote working and SaaS usage keeps on rising, we wanted to know more about how I.T. teams are managing digital employee experience (DEX) and gain insight from some of the leaders in the field.

You may have seen the Honeycomb white paper on metrics, and want to use the power of Honeycomb with metrics. Sending infrastructure metrics data to Honeycomb has always been possible, but with our focus on debugging the user experience inside the application, it isn’t the first or most obvious thing to do.

In today’s modern age, the most crucial aspect of communication is expression. Various groups express their thoughts or feelings through their work. For example, painters express themselves through their paintings as well as singers express themselves through the way they sing.

Onboard, monitor, and optimize your cloud and cloud-native infrastructure within 30 minutes or less. Are you one of those amazing IT operations professionals who worked hard to migrate enterprise workloads to the public cloud during the pandemic? Your team then probably built hundreds of tags for different types of cloud resources for the right levels of visibility and governance across cost optimization, chargeback, and reporting.

Active Directory (AD) is a process service that is used in Microsoft® Windows-based environments. It is responsible for authenticating users when they connect to servers and for authorizing access to different directories, files, and data. AD is also responsible for carrying out security protocols on all connected devices and computers. For example, there is a policy in place where, after three login attempts, a user’s account is locked.

Minikube is a utility you can use to run Kubernetes (k8s) on your local machine. It creates a single node cluster contained in a virtual machine (VM). This cluster lets you demo Kubernetes operations without requiring the time and resource-consuming installation of full-blown K8s. A screenshot of the Minikube interface. 💯 emoji use. This flexibility enables you to try out Kubernetes deployments, perform development tasks, or test configurations easily.
