Enterprise operations are becoming increasingly complex ecosystems, involving new technologies, larger supply chains and more partners than ever before. In a new report called ‘Building Tomorrow’s Interconnected Enterprise’, Console Connect and Applied Futurist Tom Cheesewright present a new interconnected enterprise model for the ecosystem-based future, where successful organisations will operate as a complex web of interactions rather than a monolithic whole.

2020 was a busy year for Civo, and we couldn’t have done it, and get where we are now, without our community of users. Between the wider community, our Civo Ambassadors, and our staff team, there is an enormous amount of knowledge and skill to be found. I’d like to present some of our top cloud-native guides for the year gone by, drawn both from guides published on our site and around the web by our community of users.

2020 was a year we all will remember. The whole world got an experience like never before. At VirtualMetric we have always believed in a global team with no borders. This year almost every company joined us in the remote work approach. Despite the challenges we were surrounded by, our team had a productive year. We not only saved our entire crew but hired more talented people to our VirtualMetric family, which helped us to achieve our ambitious goals.

Sometimes, people start their DevOps journey by getting their database into source control, but then, they don’t deploy from source control. Instead, they continue their manual deployments to production. Quickly they find that the database code in their production instances and the database code in their source control system don’t match.

One of the many aspects of CloudZero’s cloud cost intelligence is anomaly detection. Unlike solutions which require you to set budgets or thresholds, CloudZero uses machine learning to automatically detect and alert on anomalies, then send them directly to dev team Slack channels where the responsible engineers can view and take action. Here are just a few examples of real customer anomalies, what caused them, and the action the customer took.

Kubernetes continues to be a popular platform for deploying containerized applications, but securing Kubernetes environments as you scale up is challenging. Each new container increases your application’s attack surface, or the number of potential entry points for unauthorized access. Without complete visibility into every managed container and application request, you can easily overlook gaps in your application’s security as well as malicious activity.

Better visibility is the first step to improved system stability. Our latest blog outlines Top Observability tools for DevOps Engineers & SREs to help you get started on your journey to gain valuable insights into your infrastructure. “We can't fix something which we can't observe” - whether it's a steam engine or a complex microservice based cloud deployment, great observability makes troubleshooting things easier.

This is everything you need to know about FlashDrive, and how it can help you reduce your infrastructure costs while improving your applications' responsiveness and overall quality. FlashDrive is a Docker cloud hosting service constituted in a network of high availability clusters located in North America and Europe. To completely understand what FlashDrive is and how it can help you, let's first talk about the Docker cloud, containers, and the purpose of containerization.

Cloud computing sometimes spoils one with choices. Let's just take a look at a couple of common cloud services. You can use cloud services to deploy and scale web and mobile apps besides monitoring them. AWS and Heroku provide cloud computing resources. AWS is from Amazon, while Heroku is from Salesforce. In this article, let us see which one is better to use from the start-up perspective.
