As we continue adding to our growing catalog of more than 100 plugins for Grafana, we have been focused on developing data sources for Grafana that are more purpose-built for the respective technologies. One example has been the recent update to our core Prometheus data source. We have deprecated AWS authentication from the original Prometheus data source, and we created a new dedicated Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus plugin that will specifically cater to the AWS use case.

Exploratory data analysis is a key component of the machine learning pipeline that helps in understanding various aspects of a dataset. For example, you can learn about statistical properties, types of data, the presence of null values, the correlation among different variables, etc. But to get these details, you need to use different types of Python methods and write multiple lines of code.

The recent global outage reminds us that identifying issues and their impact radius is just the first part of a lengthy process to remediation. Incidents are inevitable; how we prepare for and learn from them is what sets teams up to respond more effectively next time. As we saw from the remediation steps taken by enterprises around the world, implementing a known fix across a large number of environments that are potentially managed by a number of distributed teams can be a gargantuan challenge.

You might be surprised. Why does ilert, the platform dedicated to alerting and incident management, publish anything about the direct (in the sense of bypassing an incident management tool) connection between monitoring solutions and Twilio? Do they take the bread out their own month? —You might think. Working on DevOps incident management since 2009, we believe every solution fits specific needs.

Data, and the way enterprises use data in areas like development and testing, has not traditionally been a focus for business leaders but that’s now changing. Data is more varied and complicated than ever before, for example, with enterprises using two or more different database platforms – and 40% using four or more. It’s also spread wider and further, with enterprises hosting their databases in a combination of cloud and on-premises infrastructures.

In the fast-paced world of ecommerce, efficiency is everything. The Global Operations Center (GOC) TOO team constantly battles with ecommerce store orders that get stuck, causing delays and resulting in customer dissatisfaction. Here’s a look at how one retail organization transformed their order troubleshooting process using automation.

From the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to GDPR and more, public sector agencies must comply with a myriad of IT regulatory requirements. These regulations ensure proper financial management and stewardship, security, governance, operational efficiency and effectiveness, incident management – and ultimately, assure public trust and accountability.

When your IT systems are nearing capacity, you need to make decisions to expand provision, and many of those decisions will revolve around the choices you make to scale up vs scale out. For many the decision is intrinsically linked to their choice of platform and whether they are looking at cloud based, hybrid infrastructure or on-premises led strategies.
