Mastering Local Preview Environments: A Beginner's Guide

Local preview environments are transforming how developers test and validate code changes before merging them into the main codebase. Acting as temporary cloud environments, they provide a production-like setting where new features and bug fixes can be tested in isolation, catching issues early and streamlining the development code review process. These environments are crucial for enhancing development velocity, especially in CI/CD workflows used by DevOps engineers and QA teams.

Introducing Kosli's Logical Environments: Gain total visibility and control over complex systems

In today’s fast-paced development landscape, environments are no longer simple or isolated. You’re managing resources that span across development stages, geographies, and technologies. And as those environments grow more complex, so does the need for a more logical and efficient way to manage them.

The CIO Pocket Guide to Internal Developer Portals

As a CIO or IT leader, the need for speed and efficiency is always in tension with governance and compliance requirements. Sounds all too familiar – the frustration of slow incident resolution, outdated ownership records and resistance from engineering teams. You’ve sunk significant time and effort into implementing your ITSM platforms (such as ServiceNow), yet you struggle with buy-in and adoption from engineering teams. They can’t afford to be throttled any further.

Azure Cost Assessment

FinOps-certified practitioner Michael Stephenson introduces the cost assessment survey. He walks through the survey, explaining its importance and the types of questions it includes. The survey covers topics such as the frequency of cloud cost reviews, who is responsible for cost monitoring, methods for tracking spending, and much more! He also emphasizes the need for proactive cost management and highlights common practices like shutting down unused resources and right-sizing. The goal is to help organizations manage and optimize their cloud costs more effectively.

Top 25+ AWS Cost Optimization Tools And Best Practices

While AWS offers significant benefits compared to traditional on-premise infrastructure, its inherent elasticity and scalability tend to create uncontrolled costs. AWS costs can be opaque and difficult to analyze, and without a system for identifying the source of costs and managing them, they can quickly undermine profit margins. However, several tools have emerged to help organizations manage and optimize their costs over the past few years.
