In a previous post, we introduced a new integration with Microsoft Azure that makes it easy to ship Azure logs and metrics into Logz.io using a ready-made deployment template. Once in Logz.io, this data can be analyzed using the advanced analytics tools Logz.io has to offer — you can query the data, create visualizations and dashboards, and create alerts to get notified when something out of the ordinary occurs.

Web browsers have revolutionized the way we use the internet. They’ve escalated employee productivity, but have also opened up organizations to a plethora of security loopholes. Browsers are the easiest point of entry for hackers to exploit a system because they contain vulnerable components like plug-ins and cookies.

A few days ago, ICANN issued a statement where they call upon everyone to implement DNSSEC across their DNS infrastructure.

The DevOps era has turned traditional monitoring on its head with diverse, ephemeral data streaming from containers, microservices, and serverless functions as well as directly from the applications these new technologies enable. With efforts to efficiently utilize every drop of network, storage and compute, modern applications have created new challenges that render legacy IT operations management (ITOM) tools ineffective.

Inherently, Kubernetes clusters are multi-user. As a result, organizations want to ensure that cross-communication is protected via role-based access control, logical isolation and network policies. A container orchestration system such as Kubernetes brings information technology operations and developers (DevOps) closer together, making it easier for teams to collaborate effectively and efficiently with each other.

Modern cloud-based application and infrastructure monitoring is a moving target. And it is one that very much depends on how “native” your cloud application is. Here is a list of monitoring metrics capabilities you should look for that pertain to time series and events.

At Queens, we’ve been dressing people from head to toe in the best streetwear and sneakers for the last 15 years. We are a global ecommerce company that also has three brick-and-mortar stores in the Czech Republic, which is where we come from. What started out as a thrift store with just a few pieces of clothing is now a company with 50 employees in three different locations and €7 million in annual turnover.

Kubernetes is quickly becoming the de facto way to deploy workloads on distributed systems. In this post, I will help you develop a deeper understanding of Kubernetes by revealing some of the principles underpinning its design.
