Designing Your Cloud With Failure In Mind

Implementing any cloud development project can be tricky, and frustrating. Especially when you are pressured with time, reactive approaches, or cost-saving scenarios. However, there are some things you can do to implement solutions in your cloud architecture for long-term scalability and risk mitigation. Rather than short-term fixes until it arises again, consider designing your cloud with failure in mind, or speculating worst-case scenarios. It might sound counterintuitive or obvious.

The Limitations Of Combining CloudHealth And Kubecost

Ever since its release in September 2014, Kubernetes has been equally powerful and meme-able in the engineering world. For all the magic of its container orchestration and compute resource management, it’s also mysterious and, to many, confounding — especially when it comes time to pay for it. As we’ve written before, migrating to Kubernetes often means losing cost visibility.

Why Unit Cost Must Be Your North Star Metric In The Cloud

You’re a savvy SaaS business leader, so you already know the importance of keeping costs low to maximize your margins. What you might not have considered, however, is how tracking unit cost in your cloud spend data can help you achieve optimizations far beyond what you’d get with traditional cost-cutting methods. Keep reading to learn how cloud spend unit costs can drive savings you never knew were possible.

Single-Tenant Vs. Multi-Tenant Cloud: When To Use Each

When operating in the cloud, one of the key decisions to make is about which type of architecture to adopt for your business and customer data. This is because choosing cost-effective architecture is key to building profitable SaaS software. Single-tenant and multi-tenant cloud environments are the options to consider. Both types of architecture have security and privacy implications. There’s also the issue of cost, which differs significantly depending on the architecting model you adopt.
