Top 7 Kubernetes Chaos Engineering Tools

Developing highly resilient Kubernetes deployments is crucial for ensuring that your hosted applications in Kubernetes can effectively manage and recover from disruptions. This capability is vital in order to maintain continuous availability for your customers. The importance of resilience in your distributed system also escalates depending on your customer base and the critical nature of your application. Even brief periods of downtime can have a significant negative impact on your business.

What are DNS filters and how do they simplify network traffic routing?

In a world where businesses operate globally, managing DNS queries across multiple regions can be complex. When clients from various locations send queries for a domain, those queries must be routed to the most appropriate DNS host. Factors such as the client’s geolocation, IP address, and network type play a crucial role in ensuring traffic is directed to the right place for better performance. DNS filters provide the criteria for routing traffic efficiently.

The 3 pillars of observability: Unified logs, metrics, and traces

Understanding telemetry signals for better decision-making, improved performance, and enhanced customer experiences Telemetry signals have evolved significantly over the years — if you blinked, you could have missed it. In fact, much of the common wisdom about observability needs a refresh. If your observability solution doesn’t consider the current state of telemetry, you might need an upgrade.

How search accelerates your path to "AI first"

The combination of AI and search enables new levels of enterprise intelligence, with technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML)-based relevancy, vector/semantic search, and large language models (LLMs) helping organizations finally unlock the value of unanalyzed data. Search and knowledge discovery technology is required for organizations to uncover, analyze, and utilize key data.

Grafana's Prometheus libraries: How we built libraries to create a truly vendor-neutral data source

Over the summer we told you about an update to our core Prometheus data source, which was part of a larger shift in our effort to meet users where they are. It’s a change we’re really excited about, as it represents our biggest step yet toward enabling the creation of truly vendor-neutral data sources for Grafana.

The Importance of Microsegmentation in a Multilayered Cybersecurity Defense Model

Cybercrime is expected to exceed $10.5 trillion in 2025. To put that into perspective, the total U.S. GDP in 2023 was $21 trillion. So why is cybercrime so profitable? The answer lies in the ‘perfect storm’ of conditions we currently face. Today’s organizations are totally reliant on their digital assets to function. This dependence gives bad actors the opportunity to extract data, digital assets, and money once they are inside a network—often without human intervention.

Balancing Proactive Work and Firefighting in Site Reliability Engineering

As an SRE, you constantly juggle proactive tasks to improve reliability and scalability with reactive firefighting when issues arise—often leaving little time to address the root causes. This is not unlike the firefighters of Ancient Rome, the Vigiles, who were tasked with not only responding to fires but also preventing them. Established in 6 AD under Emperor Augustus, the Vigiles patrolled the streets of Rome, looking for potential fire hazards.

Hardware Tracking: Why it Matters And How to Implement it

Keeping your IT infrastructure organized and functioning well requires several systems, and hardware tracking is one of them. Managing the location, condition, and lifecycle of hardware assets like computers, servers, and networking equipment can be challenging. Without proper tracking, organizations often face unexpected costs, underutilized resources, and compliance issues. But with the right system in place, hardware tracking can be straightforward and highly beneficial.
