In February 2020, Nexthink introduced its new design system, Apollo. While it unveiled some great new accessibility and design features, its true raison d’être was everything happening on the back-end, a powerful new design engine to scale and accelerate the roll-out of new features. Well, 6 months later and here we are. As promised, this latest round of enhancements offers several intuitive modifications to make IT’s life easier when supporting the Digital Employee Experience.

In this post we share how to use the InfluxDB CLI with InfluxDB Cloud. This TL;DR assumes that you have registered for an InfluxDB Cloud account – registering for a free account is the easiest way to get started with InfluxDB.

Event Hubs are a big data streaming PasS capability provided by Azure. Event Hubs can process data or telemetry produced from your Azure environment. They also provide us a scalable method to get your valuable Azure data into Splunk! Splunk add-ons like the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services and the Microsoft Azure Add-on for Splunk provide the ability to connect to, and ingest all kinds of data sources from your Azure environment.

I am thrilled to announce that we have raised a $1M pre-seed round with top notch investors. Among them are top entrepreneurs and Cloud experts like Alexis Lê-Quôc, co-founder and CTO at Datadog, and Sebastien Pahl, Co-founder of Docker. Qovery will use the funds to strengthen its research and development team and extend their offer to technology companies in Europe and in the US.

So much has been written about Lambda cold starts. It’s easily one of the most talked-about and yet, misunderstood topics when it comes to Lambda. Depending on who you talk to, you will likely get different advice on how best to reduce cold starts. So in this post, I will share with you everything I have learned about cold starts in the last few years and back it up with some data.

Logs are one of the most valuable assets when it comes to IT system management and monitoring. As they record every action that took place on your network, logs provide the insight you need to spot issues that might impact performance, compliance, and security. That’s why log management should be part of any monitoring infrastructure.

The network monitoring teams can now tap into Internet-of-Things, software-level network, and cloud-based services to ensure maximum uptime and optimal network performance. However, adapting to these technologies would mean defining new practices for legacy architecture integration, reengineering the monitoring workflow, and evaluating the toolkit for enhancing comprehensive and layered network management.

Spot by NetApps’s Ocean now makes it easy to run your ECS tasks on any combination of on-demand, spot and reserved instances all within a single cluster. Ocean provides Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) users with an automated, serverless container experience. Previously, control over the underlying instances’ pricing model was limited to utilizing reserved instances and spot instances only.

As we discussed in our previous post, the comprehensive visibility into your cloud spend provided by Cloud Analyzer allows you to confidently make decisions on how to best optimize your cloud. But when it comes time to actually optimizing your cloud compute spend, taking advantage of reserved instances – a pricing model that offers steep discounts in exchange for long-term commitment – many potential users still hesitate and for good cause.

In this article, we will install an Etcd cluster and configure monitoring using Prometheus and Grafana, all with the help of Rancher. We’ll see how easy it is to accomplish this without the need of dependencies, as we can take full advantage of Rancher’s App Catalog.
