Complex escalation policy? No problem. Alert Visualization shows exactly how your alert will route, before it ever fires.

If you’ve ever wondered whether attending a conference is worth the time and budget, you’re not alone. But for data professionals, the right event can be a game-changer, not just for your technical skills, but for your career trajectory. At Redgate, we’ve seen firsthand how events like PASS Data Community Summit help attendees grow, connect, and return to work with fresh ideas and renewed energy.

If you use Microsoft Entra ID to connect Redgate tools, such as SQL Prompt, to Azure SQL Databases, please update to the versions listed below before July 31, 2025. These versions use a new, dedicated Entra ID app to authenticate. Earlier versions use an authentication method that will no longer work after July 31st. This change only affects connections to Azure SQL Databases.

The default Kubernetes scheduler works great when your cluster is destined for long running applications. At Codefresh we use our Kubernetes clusters for running Continuous Integration pipelines which means our workloads are ephemeral (they are discarded when a pipeline has finished). This allowed us to look at the Kubernetes scheduler from a different perspective and forced us to think about how Kubernetes can work for short-running workloads.

If you’ve ever deployed a cloud application and wondered why some workloads seem faster, more resilient, or more expensive than others, the answer often lies in how you’ve used availability zones. In this guide, we’ll break down how GCP availability zones work, why they matter, and how to use them strategically to balance availability, compliance, and Google Cloud costs.

Remember when we thought deploying from our laptops was efficient? When FTPing files directly to production at 2 AM felt like peak productivity? We’ve been here before. As AI transforms how we write code, we’re about to learn the same lesson all over again — but this time with much bigger bills.

If your container shows Status: unhealthy, Docker's health check is failing. The container is still running, but something inside, usually your app, isn’t responding as expected. This doesn’t always mean a crash. It just means Docker can’t verify the app is working. Here’s how to debug the issue and restore the container to a healthy state.

Kubernetes orchestration isn’t getting any simpler. Today, teams are pushing into AI/ML, edge computing, and multi-cloud automation. And with that, you may be looking beyond Rancher. This guide walks you through today’s top Rancher alternatives, from enterprise-grade platforms like OpenShift to leaner developer-first tools like Lens and Portainer. With this intel, you can then decide which one fits your evolving stack, budget, and business goals.
