There’s more pressure than ever to deliver high-availability Kubernetes systems, but there’s a combination of organizational and technological hurdles that make this ‌easier said than done. Technologically, Kubernetes is complex and ephemeral, with deployments that span infrastructure, cluster, node, and pod layers. And like with any complex and ephemeral system, the large amount of constantly-changing parts opens the possibility for sudden, unexpected failures.

Many often wonder, “Is there a difference between observability and monitoring?” The thing is as IT environments have become more complex, monitoring alone has become increasingly less effective. That’s because while monitoring is crucial, it isn’t particularly suited to tracking unforeseen or unexpected turns of events. That’s what observability is meant for. This guide will clarify what observability and monitoring are – and how they differ.

Monitoring SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) devices is crucial for maintaining network health and security, enabling early detection of issues and proactive troubleshooting. Continuous monitoring ensures efficient resource utilization, minimizes downtime, and enhances overall network performance. In this article, we'll detail how to use the Telegraf agent to collect SNMP (MIB) performance statistics that you can forward to a data source.

As the demand for cloud resources continues to surge, innovative cloud storage providers like Wasabi are reshaping the industry with their agile and cost-effective solutions.
