The goal of Grafana has always been to help people feel in control of their observability infrastructure. Users come in with an alert; that takes them to a dashboard; they use ad hoc querying; and then they use log aggregation or distributed tracing to come up with a fix that will resolve an incident or issue.
The Rancher community is 30,000+ strong and growing fast! In order to continue growing and nurturing our vibrant open source community, we’ve created the Trusted Ranch Hand Program. Trusted Ranch Hands are a select group of knowledgeable ranchers ready, willing, and able to help other Ranchers as we all adopt DevOps practices and principles using Rancher, Kubernetes, and related technologies that help us all Run Kubernetes Everywhere!
Kubernetes is gaining popularity every day. Using an Ingress controller is the preferred method of allowing external access to the services in a cluster. This makes ingress logs incredibly important for tracking the performance of your services, issues, bugs, and even the security of your cluster.
Hybrid monitoring has increasingly become a priority in the SCOM community. A growing number of enterprises are running workloads both on-prem and in the cloud, with some of us creating new workloads in the cloud, and others engaging in a gradual migration to the cloud – a process that often takes place over a number of years. How can we deliver a complete monitoring strategy for our hybrid environments via SCOM?
Uptime Robot can already check the status of servers/devices who have public IPs with its ping and port monitoring feature. Yet, there are many other servers/computers/devices that are inside an intranet (but connected to the internet) and need to be monitored.
What makes synthetic monitoring a crucial tool to measure the customer experience? When I buy something online, it takes about one to three minutes. That time depends on the complexity of forms I encounter, whether I have an account with the retailer, and how easy the site is to navigate. Of course, there are lots of other variables I don’t notice that also affect my buying experience.
As enterprise cloud migrations accelerate, AWS continues to be a clear and compelling choice for digitally-transforming organizations. And while cloud-based operations are faster, innovative, reliable and cost-effective – they pose new, growing challenges for IT Ops, NOC and DevOps teams. With cloud-based operations, IT organizations now need to minimize outages and disruptions across different architectures and workloads.
Returning from VMworld 2019 a couple weeks ago, one thing was clear: we’re seeing a convergence of IT Operations and DevOps in the marketplace, and with that, an infrastructure transformation which will rely heavily on process and workload automation. But, as we move more and more towards the automated datacenter (private and/or public), it’s important to keep in mind two critical components to make automation successful: data and governance.
Will a technology not heard of four years ago completely change the Cloud Wars landscape? Are we going to see enterprises finally make a shift to multi-cloud? Is AWS Lambda ready for primetime?
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard of Kubernetes, the open source container orchestration governed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Kubernetes helps you focus on your applications by providing powerful abstractions and help solves many of the challenges of managing, deploying and scaling your containerized applications.
