Now that we’re all saving money on our Azure bills, it’s time to backup those Azure VM disks. Skeddly now supports the creation and deletion of Azure disk snapshots with our two new actions: Backup Virtual Machines, Delete Disk Snapshots. Both of these actions work like their AWS counterparts.

Joao Grassi — a .NET developer, front-end hobbyist, and friend of Sentry — likes .NET very much and recently tried to bring a friend to the “dark side” of .NET development. To win a point, he decided to create a small sample project using Azure DevOps. As he started, he struggled to find helpful information in the documentation (like how to control the artifact name).

Software complexity has grown dramatically over the past decade, and enterprises are looking to hybrid cloud technologies to help power their applications and critical DevOps pipelines. But with so many moving pieces, how can you gain confidence in your hybrid cloud investment?

Continuous testing has evolved to become an important phase in modern application development and delivery. When we at Sumo Logic sketched out a plan to start delivering our microservices continuously, we knew we needed to define a delivery pipeline, which would run our automated tests and provide feedback in early phases of development.

First, let me say that I know AWS doesn’t promise anything about network performance as it relates to packets. At best, they leave it as a multivariate calculus problem for the reader — inclusive of CPU performance, code optimization, MTU, and current network congestion under the VLANs. But still, I was curious to see if there was any correlation to Amazon’s published “Network Performance” and the actual packets per second metric I tested.

Lately, the public cloud services market has created one of the biggest disruptions in the tech market. In fact, as per Forrester Data, public cloud services forecasted a 22% CAGR in the public cloud market from 2016 to 2020. In addition, Gartner projected the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to grow 35.9% by end of 2018 to reach $40.8 billion. Looking at the potential of the cloud market and the benefits associated, right now would be the apt time to migrate from monolithic to the cloud.
