Weigh up three popular ways to protect your data in transit—host level encryption (TLS/SSH), MACsec, and IPsec—to fortify your network security. Encryption in transit refers to protecting data while it moves from one place to another, in contrast to “encryption at rest” which is used to protect data where it is stored. In this blog we’ll look at a few common options for encryption in transit, and the pros and cons of each from a network perspective.

As codebases mature, they grow in complexity. As time goes on, higher complexity increases the cost of changing and scaling a system. Scalability is an essential feature of enterprise software. End-to-end integration testing is not a very scalable process, especially when you are dealing with multiple systems.

ServiceNow is a popular IT service management platform that helps organizations track and manage enterprise-level IT processes, such as on-prem infrastructure management, customer support, and incident response. By using ServiceNow’s configuration management database (CMDB), organizations can easily centralize and manage information about all the IT objects they own in order to track and maintain them more efficiently.

The infrastructure must be “invisible” to the user, but visible to IT strategists to ensure the performance and service levels required by the business, where observability (as part of SRE or site reliability engineering) is essential to understand the internal state of a system based on its external results. For effective observability, there are four key pillars: metrics, events, logs, and traces, which are summarized in the acronym MELT.

Most enjoy the peace of mind cloud backups offer for all the damage the costs can do to their wallets. Microsoft Azure offers Azure Backup service to safely backup your data on Microsoft Azure cloud, allowing you to store Azure VMs and even on-premise machines and workloads. But Azure prices can be confusing, and Azure Backup is no different. To best understand how much you’re paying and why you’re paying that much, read on! Source: Azure.

GCP Cost Reporting is one of several tools provided by Google Cloud Console. The more you know about them, the more you’ll understand your Google Cloud bill. In addition, knowing the drivers behind your costs will help you reduce waste and maximize your GCP spend. This quick guide to GCP reporting tools will guide you on how to do it. We’ll also share how to get more detailed cost intelligence such as Cost per Customer or Cost per Feature on top of basics such as total and average costs.

“How is my app performing?” is one of the most common, yet hardest questions to answer. There are myriad ways to measure this, like error rate, average response time, and so on. Enter the Application Performance Index (aka Apdex), a single metric that attempts to answer, “Are my application’s users happy?” Apdex is an open standard that was formalized in 2005 by the Apdex Alliance.

Cribl Search is agnostic, allowing administrators to now query Snowflake datasets as they can dozens of other Lakes, Stores, Systems & Platforms. The data that IT and security teams rely on to monitor network operations continues to grow at a 28% CAGR, and it’s stressing many organizations’ ability to analyze all this data effectively. In fact, in some cases, less than 2% of it ever gets looked at.

The Batch Processor in the OpenTelemetry project is used in both the SDKs and the OpenTelemetry Collector. What exactly is this processor, and what does it do? And, how can you use the OTLP Logs, OTLP Metrics, and OTLP Traces Functions in Cribl Stream and Cribl Edge to build batches like a boss?

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly central to business operations, many organizations are grappling with how to deploy and scale their AI models efficiently. When it comes to AI inference, or how AI analyzes and draws conclusions from new data, Kubernetes offers a compelling solution — but it’s not without challenges.
