Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) enables you to easily deploy and manage containerized applications in Azure while leveraging Microsoft resources such as development tools, security features, and more. As with any Kubernetes service, the sheer volume of containers being orchestrated makes monitoring AKS cluster health challenging, which can slow response times to critical incidents and create bottlenecks around long-term optimizations.

Gartner, Inc. estimates that worldwide spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow 20.4% to total $678.8 billion in 2024. With many organizations incorporating FinOps practices to govern how they spend their money in the cloud, Real-Time Cost Optimization is essential to saving money. In particular, as the market for Generative AI workloads continues to explode, organizations will need to consider a range of cost-savings models to extract optimal efficiency.

As a modern software engineer or CTO, you’re responsible for building, delivering, and maintaining high-quality software solutions at scale. Yet, software programs have grown increasingly complex over time, requiring meticulous work. The competition threatens to take your subscribers every billing cycle if you don’t constantly innovate, too. Customers want more, bigger, and better upgrades and updates.

Managed Service for Prometheus now lets you instrument an application with metrics once, and deploy it on Compute Engine, GKE, or Cloud Run.

AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) is an outcome-driven, methodology-based comprehensive cloud program that helps accelerate your cloud migration and modernization journey. This program is crafted using AWS’s experience of migrating thousands of enterprise customers to the AWS cloud.

Cloud-based solutions have quickly become essential to our work and personal lives. As we entrust an ever-expanding array of online data, understanding the nuances of cloud services becomes crucial to keeping data private. At the core of this digital evolution are three primary cloud services: storage, backup, and sync. While these terms may seem interchangeable, they serve distinct purposes in managing and protecting digital assets.

Effectively managing both public and private Splunk Apps across multiple Splunk environments poses a considerable challenge, demanding significant time and effort with the potential for tedious and manual tasks. Recognizing this complexity, the Splunk Cloud Service has been progressively introducing additional features and capabilities to streamline and simplify these intricate administrative responsibilities.

As businesses grapple with increasing data volumes, the need for practical tools to manage and use this data has never been greater. High-quality tools are great — but imagine what you could accomplish with one that made all the others in your toolbox even better? That’s exactly how we design every Cribl solution — we exist to help IT and Security teams get more out of their existing infrastructure.

This is part one of seven in our Frugal Architect blog series. In case you weren’t as giddy as CloudZero was at re:Invent this year, we wanted to recount the seven laws outlined by Werner Vogels, Amazon’s CTO, which he’s bundled into a framework called “The Frugal Architect”. What is “The Frugal Architect”? A constitution of sorts for how engineers can build high-functioning, cost-efficient cloud software.
