Back in 2019, I introduced you to Skeddly Projects . Projects is a feature in Skeddly that allows you to separate actions, credentials, managed backup plans, and managed start/stop plans. Almost like a mini Skeddly account within an account. Over the last few months, Skeddly’s Projects feature has been significantly enhanced. And I’m going to tell you all about the wonderful new features within Skeddly Projects.

When you are experiencing an issue with your application or service, having deep visibility into both the infrastructure and the software powering your apps and services is critical. Most monitoring services provide insights at the Virtual Machine (VM) level, but few go further. To get a full picture of the state of your application or service, you need to know what processes are running on your infrastructure.

According to AWS, “Creating a software system is a lot like constructing a building. If the foundation is not solid, structural problems can undermine the integrity and function of the building.” This is especially true when it comes to the cloud. If an organization doesn’t effectively oversee key areas of its foundation, it’s likely the result is not going to be successful. When it comes to cloud management, we look at it through the lens of the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

We are excited to announce support for Google Compute Engine (GCE) N2 general purpose virtual machine (VM) types, and additional hardware configuration options powered by N2 custom machine types. N2 VMs leverage Intel 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable processors and provide a balance of compute, memory, and storage. N2 machine types also offer more than a 20% improvement in price-performance over the first-generation N1 machines.

Function as a service (FaaS) offerings like AWS Lambda are a blessing for software development. They remove many of the issues that come with the setup and maintenance of backend infrastructure. With much of the upfront work taken out of the process, they also lower the barrier to start a new service and encourage modularization and encapsulation of software systems. Testing distributed systems and serverless cloud infrastructures.

Have you ever wanted to check the status of your Splunk Cloud Platform deployment but can't easily access your laptop? We've got you covered— the Cloud Monitoring Console is now available on Spunk Mobile.

Cloud computing has conquered our lives, from massive on-premise systems and storage hubs to fully virtualized storage platforms. Today, organizations are reengineering their strategies rapidly into cloud-friendly which resulted in a rapid growth in cloud migration rate. Studies says, worldwide cloud infrastructure services investments are increased to $41.8 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Because, there is always a double-fold benefit from the cloud transformation.

Hey friends, I recently joined Upsun as a Developer Relations Engineer, and I’ve been playing with the platform for a few weeks now. In this blog post, I’ll share some things I’ve learned about Upsun, how I was able to deploy my first Node.js application, and a few features that I think could be improved.
