Building Organizational Trust for Cloud Optimization Software

You’ve loaded data into Densify and after reviewing recommendations your developers don’t want to take the recommended action – they aren’t trusting, yet. This is one of the top issues identified by the FinOps Foundation and many of our customers of Densify – but not all. Let’s explore what some customers do differently to build organizational trust in taking optimization recommendations.

Streamlining Kubernetes Workflows The Power of CI/CD Integration

In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, where agility and reliability are paramount, Kubernetes has emerged as a game-changer with its container orchestration capabilities. However, as applications become more complex and distributed, managing Kubernetes workflows presents a unique set of challenges.

GraphQL and Cloud-Native Architecture: Is There a Better Way? Civo Navigate NA 2023

Explore the transformative power of GraphQL in solving application networking challenges with Jim Barton at Navigate NA 2023. Barton uses a fictional scenario involving "Wayne Telecom," a telecom services provider in Gotham City, to illustrate the challenges faced by businesses in managing data and network requests. The talk emphasizes the advantages of GraphQL, such as reducing over-fetching of data, improving developer efficiency, and simplifying the architecture by eliminating the need for dedicated GraphQL servers.

The Foundation of Cloud Optimization - Cloud Tagging Strategy

The Double-Edged Sword of Modern Software Delivery

Kubernetes offers undeniable benefits—scalability, portability, reliability—and enterprises everywhere are jumping on the bandwagon to adopt it. However, as incredible as Kubernetes is, its adopters are learning a difficult lesson: Without taking the steps to standardize Kubernetes adoption across the organization, costs and risk can skyrocket.

Next-Gen Defense: Unleashing the Power of Kubernetes

The U.S. Department of Defense’s Software Modernization Strategy calls for gaining a competitive advantage to achieve strategic and tactical superiority. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and implementing zero trust security are critical parts of the movement to modernize the U.S. military. To this end, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen H. Hicks issued a memorandum in February 2022 establishing the formation of the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer (CDAO).
