Traditional approaches complicate things further, often leading to silos and inefficient resource use.

What is cloud-native automation and why is it important for telcos?

Automation. It’s not something most of us think about often, and that’s the whole idea. But automation plays a critical role in the IT world, especially for those who remember when software had to be updated manually. That importance takes on an added urgency when you consider next-generation telecommunications networks, as a cloud architecture brings with it layers of complexity that make automation a necessity.

The Why and What of AWS Lambda Monitoring

Serverless architectures are the rental tux of computing. If you’re using AWS to manage and scale your underlying infrastructure, you’re renting compute time or storage space. Your Lambda functions are the tie or cummerbund you purchase to customize your rental. Using the AWS event-driven architecture improves business agility, allowing you to move quickly. Lambda is the on-demand compute services that runs custom code driving an event’s response.
