In this edition we have news of two new initiatives to help businesses and developers alike with their Kubernetes endeavours. Plus we were excited to discover that Civo was recently featured in CRN's 20 Coolest Cloud Infrastructure Companies as part of The 2022 Cloud 100!

App registrations is a mechanism in Azure AD allowing to work with an application and its permissions. It’s an object in Azure AD that represents the application, its redirect URI (where to redirect users after they have signed in), its logout URL (where to redirect users after they’ve signed out), API access and custom application roles for managing permissions to users and apps.

In an earlier blog post, we had discussed how server performance monitoring is not just about monitoring CPU, memory, and disk resources anymore. There is more to server performance monitoring than just three resources or metrics. That blog post covered several key performance indicators (KPIs) that IT teams must track to ensure that their servers are performing well. In this blog post, we focus on another KPI – server uptime.

Before continuous integration came to be, setting up builds was no fun because the complexity and overhead involved in a release cycle was compounded by inflexible, manual processes. The release cycle was slow and often resulted in breaking changes. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has changed much of that through pipelines that automate how we build and test software—today, we can deploy, have builds fail, and resolve any errors faster than ever.

At Datadog, we’re dedicated to building a platform that helps teams detect, troubleshoot, and resolve issues in their applications and infrastructure. We know that our customers need to be able to debug issues, explore ideas, and manage incidents efficiently, and that means having access to tools that can help them seamlessly share information and leverage the expertise of their distributed teams.

The need for in-depth network monitoring is growing exponentially as organizations expand in size and more companies are established. Increased monitoring needs demand a feature-rich tool to simplify networks and get a clear view of their underlying infrastructure. Diagnosing network faults and ensuring a well-balanced operation of all network devices is the primary task of a network admin any day.

Our Rails/Rack customers may notice that we now install Node.js v16 when creating new servers. We typically keep this version as stable as possible to avoid breaking older applications. However, if you need a newer or older version to be installed, you can always specify the node.js version in your manifest!

In version v1.32 of Netdata, we announced a remarkable new update that we are extremely proud of; Netdata Cloud now runs on the most reliable and stable backend that we’ve ever built. The architectural changes allow us to deliver new features, such as parent-child relationships and improved alert handling.
