The latest News and Information on Cloud monitoring, security and related technologies.
For today’s tech tip, we’re going to pivot away from our line items, and focus on the underpinnings of Catchpoint’s Monitoring Solution. The over 800 monitoring nodes we have positioned around the world include a wide range of node types, including backbone and broadband ISPs, cloud providers, mobile, and last mile, which, along with enterprise nodes, allow us to monitor the entire service delivery chain.
Today, AWS announced another major feature to the Lambda platform: the option to package your code and dependencies as container images. The advantage of this capability is that it makes it easier for enterprise users to use a consistent set of tools for security scanning, code signing, and more. It also raises the maximum code package size for a function to a whopping 10GB.
Serverless is a great way to reduce the cost of running applications. Lambda functions, by nature, make it very easy to use the exact amount of resources we need at any given point. In this post, we deep dive into Lambda costs, how they are calculated, and explore how to optimize them. Lambda costs are calculated from two parameters (all prices are for AWS N.Virginia, US-EAST-1).
Leave it to Amazon Web Services to find a way to make their massive celebration of all things cloud entirely virtual, free, and even bigger. Even though we won’t be able to join you all in Las Vegas for Amazon’s celebration of all things cloud, PagerDuty is very excited to be a Gold sponsor of re:Invent again this year. Be sure to stop by our sponsor page for a product demo, the latest on our newest AWS integrations, grab your swag bag, or participate in one of our fun booth activities.
If you think it’s possible to accomplish great things without going through numerous trials and errors first – you’re wrong. We learn to become better and more efficient through experience, and gaining experience requires you to make multiple attempts, but it also requires you to fail to learn from your mistakes. You’ll achieve greatness only once you learn how to handle errors that stand in your way, and when you do, everything becomes crystal clear.
We are excited to announce that if you deploy our AWS Trivia Alexa Skill from Stackery we will send you $100 AWS credits and an Amazon Echo!
Needless to say, 2020 has been a year to remember. So it goes without saying that re:Invent 2020 will be unforgettable as well, but this time, in a good way. For starters, instead of hopping on a plane and spending four days in Las Vegas, we get three weeks of it from the comfort of our home offices. As usual, the event will be jam-packed with speakers, presentations, hands-on learning sessions. They’ll be helmed by experts in the cloud computing, DevOps, and the open source community.
