Digital data is everywhere, and its sheer volume and ambiguity often make it challenging for us humans to analyze. That’s why we use a special branch of AI called artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) to reveal the deeper structure of copious data. AIOps sits at the intersection of big data and machine learning to improve the efficiency of IT operations.

Summer has passed and it’s time for fall - cue transitioning leaves, cozy blankets, and all the pumpkin-themed things your heart could ever desire. As we move into the new season, we are excited to announce our fall product releases across Moogsoft Cloud that enable engineers to detect incidents earlier, resolve them faster, and work as a team across the entire lifecycle. Moogsoft’s Fall product updates enable you to: … and so much more! Read on for deeper details.

Whether you have two or two dozen developers working on features for your product, updates can introduce bugs or unwanted changes. Therefore, before merging a feature branch to production, you can review all the changes with our preview deployment feature. It allows you and your team to quickly and easily check that the latest changes work as desired. It also allows you to share feedback and helps prevent “it worked on my machine” scenarios.

You’ve probably been using Puppet Forge modules to manage bits in your infrastructure for years. If you’re like most of us, you’ve gradually added more modules and maybe you’ve lost track of exactly what some of them do and on what nodes they’re declared. You may even suspect that you have modules installed that you haven’t actually used in years…. only you’re not quite certain which modules those might be. I am certainly guilty of this!

We have seen a rapid increase in the development pace of product development in the last few years. As a company, you never stop improving your processes. Successful organizations find different ways to optimize the release process to accelerate their product development cycles. Growing companies, especially those with complex products with many integrations, often struggle to keep pace with the growing complexity of processes.

It seems like every conversation is about inflation lately. Everything is getting more expensive and the news cycle suggests there is little chance of that abating. Inflation and supply chain challenges are having a knock on effect in terms of cloud adoption and network usage. We’ve already seen some of the big providers increase their prices - so what’s to be done? Can technology also offer solutions for stemming the rise of IT costs?

Whether you’re new to Kubernetes or a bona fide wizard, it may seem like getting any meaningful cost data out of it is a miracle. This is because many organizations that migrate to Kubernetes unwittingly step into the Black Box of Kubernetes Spend. In pre-Kubernetes life, teams could allocate costs by tagging resources.

Most sysadmins and developers have at some point used a few of the popular Linux networking commands or their Windows equivalents to answer the common questions of host reachability- that is, whether a host or service is reachable and how fast it responds. One of the simplest, common checks, is to simply ping a host to verify that it’s reachable from where you issue the command, and to see the total time it takes for the host to receive your request.
