As the adoption to cloud expand, subscribing and provisioning resources increases day by day. Enterprises have multiple strategies to implement their cloud deployments: single cloud, private cloud, multi-cloud, or hybrid cloud. There is a need to analyse and assess on regular basis to keep a watch on the usage to ensure expenditure on the cloud resources are efficient and there is no wastage. There are various possibilities but will need some level of technical competence and regular maintenance.

In any integration solution, when many Azure services come together to communicate with each other, there is a need for the organizations to build an end-to-end traceability/monitoring solution that can be used by the business users and IT support. Perform end-to-end message tracking and capturing necessary data on business process flow across Azure resources and hybrid integrations. Consider an organisation that has a well-defined Employee Onboarding process.

As a startup, we always want to focus on the most important thing — to deliver value to our customers. For that reason, we are a huge fan of the serverless options provided by AWS (Lambda) and GCP (Cloud Function) as these allow us to maintain and quickly deploy bite-size business logic to production, without having to worry too much about maintaining the underlying servers and computing resources.

In today's environment, security teams face a pervasive threat landscape, with the expectation that some threat actors will be successful in bypassing perimeter defenses. To deal with this, security teams must learn how to actively hunt down threats, both outside and inside the perimeter, using solutions, such as Sumo Logic’s Cloud SIEM Enterprise and Continuous Intelligence Platform.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only had a profound impact on everyone across the globe; it has also fundamentally changed the way organizations function. We are nearing one and a half years since remote work became the norm and organizations had to adapt to this new mode of working almost overnight. This rapid transition wouldn’t have been possible without the massive technology, workflow, and process upgrades undertaken by IT departments.

From containerized workloads to microservice architectures, developers are rapidly adopting new technology to scale their products at unprecedented rates. To manage these complex deployments, many teams are increasingly moving their applications to third party–managed services and infrastructure, trading full-stack visibility for simplified operations.

When you migrate workloads from on-premise infrastructure into a public cloud, you can improve the performance, reliability, and security of your application, and you might also lower your costs.

Towards the end of 2016, it all started with developing a simple platform to manage Microsoft Azure Service Bus namespaces. The then classic Azure portal had limited capabilities to manage Azure Messaging resources like Service Bus Queues and Topics. Paolo Salvatori developed and managed a community tool called Service Bus Explorer. We identified that there are challenges or limitations in managing and monitoring Azure Messaging resources using the above two.

If there’s one thing we learned from the 80+ sessions from Summit 2021, it’s that across the industries, companies are continuing to accelerate innovation in a bid to meet growing customer expectations of always-on services across all channels. In financial services, disrupting traditional banking or rethinking access to advisory services comes with operational and regulatory challenges.
