Active Directory (AD) is in many ways the lifeblood of your network, especially in terms of user and identity management. AD has become the core directory service for most enterprises, keeping track of users and IT assets, allowing all these to be identified and manipulated. Because Active Directory houses all these identities and logs the enterprise’s IT assets, IT can spot breaches and abnormal behavior through this directory data.

It’s the little things that can make a big difference. While we announced significant product updates like Autofix and Metrics (to name a few) during Launch Week, we couldn’t cover everything. Over the past few months, we shipped updates to the core platform, improvements to the developer workflow, and a series of quality-of-life features. The sum of these small improvements add up to big updates across Sentry that help make your production issues even more debuggable.

We are delighted to share with you an exciting development that underscores our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional Azure management solutions. Turbo360 and TwoConnect, trusted partners in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, are joining forces to elevate your cloud journey to new heights. Our partnership with TwoConnect isn’t merely a recent collaboration; it’s a testament to the enduring bond forged over time.

Every software-driven business strives for optimum performance and user experience. Observability—which allows engineering and IT Ops teams to understand the internal state of their cloud applications and infrastructure based on available telemetry data —has emerged as a crucial practice to help engage this process. For years, application performance monitoring (APM) was the de facto practice and tooling that organizations have used to keep tabs on their critical systems.

As data keeps growing at incredible rates, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to store and monitor at a reasonable cost leaving you to cherry-pick which data to store. As developers are accustomed to integrating metrics within their logs and spans, this can result in poor monitoring & analysis, alert fatigue, and longer MTTR. Teams are left having to dig out the most relevant data, which results in missed trends and analysis.

Whether you are a developer, an IT professional, or a tech leader in your organization, AWS Fargate promises to make provisioning, configuring, and managing your containers’ servers easier. AWS Fargate is like that cool gadget you didn’t know you needed – it’s nifty, powerful, and a bit mysterious. In this post, we’re unraveling the mystery, including what Fargate is, its key features, and how it stacks up in terms of pricing and performance for serverless computing.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk streamlines the deployment and management of applications in the cloud, offering developers an easy way to deploy services without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. However, while it simplifies many aspects of cloud deployment, it also presents challenges, including limited customization and potential vendor lock-in, which might not suit all project needs or scalability requirements.

One of the biggest challenges that cloud service providers (CSPs) face these days is to deliver an extension of the public cloud they host to a small-scale piece of infrastructure that runs on customers’ premises. While the world’s tech giants, such as Amazon or Azure, have developed their own solutions for this purpose, many smaller, regional CSPs rely on open source projects like OpenStack instead.=

In the digital age, efficient document management is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. SharePoint, a product of Microsoft, stands out as a premier tool for organizing, storing, and retrieving documents. But the real game-changer within SharePoint is the feature known as “Document Sets.” Document Sets in SharePoint serve as a method to group related documents together, allowing them to be managed as a single unit.

While the Biden administration aggressively pushes federal agencies to modernize their IT infrastructures, ITOps managers are left wondering how to do so without making network management more complex than it already is. Modernization necessitates the addition of more tools, which can easily lead to tool sprawl and increase technical debt. Managers are already using multitudes of vendor-specific tools to monitor different devices and applications. The last thing they want is to add more.
