We've just released a new feature: maintenance windows! You can now place your site in maintenance which will mute all notifications during that period.

Redis is an extremely fast NoSQL data store. While it is used mainly as a cache, it can be applied to uses as diverse as graph representation and search. Client libraries are available in all of the major programming languages, and it is provided as a managed service by all of the top cloud service providers. For the past three years, Redis has been named the most loved database by the Stack Overflow Developer Survey.

A month ago, Skeddly added a Disable EBS Fast Snapshot Restores action. This action is a fantastic way to ensure you don’t leave EBS snapshots around with Fast Snapshot Restores enabled. That will just be a waste of money. Today, I’m happy to announce a new Skeddly action: Enable EBS Fast Snapshot Restores. This new action allows you to enable, and optionally disable Fast Snapshot Restores on your EBS snapshots.

YAML sucks! This blog post explains why existing tools hardly ease this pain, and what we at Grafana Labs did about it with our new project, Tanka.

Unless you build or program computers for a living, you could be forgiven for never having wondered what actually happens under the hood. How do computers make decisions? What do their instructions look like? Can they, y’know… think?

Easying enterprise Kubernetes adoption is at the core of what we do. Today, we are thrilled to announce Kublr’s simplified and comprehensive role-based-access-control (RBAC) management via the Kublr UI.

It also allowed team members more time to focus on continuous improvement. PagerDuty, like Amazon, has a strong culture of continuous improvement.

As part of Elasticsearch 7.5.0, we introduced a couple of ways to control the index age math that’s used by index lifecycle management (ILM) for phase timings calculations using the origination_date index lifecycle settings. This means you can now tell Elasticsearch how old your data is, which is pretty handy if you’re indexing data that’s older than today-days-old.

Traditional enterprise application platforms are usually built with Java Enterprise technologies and this is the case as well for OpsRamp. However, in machine learning (ML) world, Python is the most commonly used language, with Java rarely used. To develop ML components within enterprise platforms, such as the AIOps capabilities in OpsRamp, we have to run ML components as Python microservices and they communicate with Java microservices in the platform.
