Kubernetes has quickly grown in popularity, also due to its flexibility and power as a container orchestration system. It can scale virtually indefinitely, which has enabled it to provide the backbone for many of the world’s most popular online services. Plus, it is accessible and easy to set up. But, Kubernetes also comes with a few challenges in production.

Today I’m going to speak about another important Best practice, Tips, and Tricks that you need to know before you start to develop your Logic App solutions: Logic App (Standard) vs (Consumption).

You’ve heard the term IT help desk. You’ve probably also heard of IT service desks. They’re pretty much the same thing, aren’t they? They sound similar enough, so when people start throwing around mentions of help desk vs service desk, you don’t raise an eyebrow. After all, you don’t want to seem like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Here’s the thing: an IT help desk differs from an IT service desk.

For this Black Friday, Sematext wishes you: Now seriously, applications tend to generate a lot more logs on Black Friday, and they also tend to break down more – making those logs even more precious. If you’re using the Elastic Stack for log management, in this post we’ll share some tips and tricks to prepare you for this extra traffic.

Like cloud-native and DevOps, full-stack observability is one of those software development terms that can sound like an empty buzzword. Look past the jargon, and you’ll find considerable value to be unlocked from building observability into each layer of your software stack. Before we get into the details of observability, let’s take a moment to discuss the context.

Cilium is a Container Network Interface (CNI) for securing and load-balancing network traffic in your Kubernetes environment. As a CNI provider, Cilium extends the orchestrator’s existing network capabilities by giving teams more control over how they build their applications and monitor traffic. For example, vanilla Kubernetes installations typically rely on traditional firewalls and Linux-based network utilities like iptables to filter pod-to-pod traffic by an IP address or port.

In Part 1, we looked at some key metrics for monitoring the health and performance of your Cilium-managed Kubernetes clusters and network. In this post, we’ll look at how Hubble enables you to visualize network traffic via a CLI and user interface. But first, we’ll briefly look at Hubble’s underlying infrastructure and how it provides visibility into your environment.

In Part 2 of this series, we showed how Hubble, Cilium’s observability platform, enables you to view network-level details about service dependencies and traffic flows. Cilium also integrates with various standalone monitoring tools, so you can track the other key metrics discussed in Part 1. But since the platform is an integral part of your infrastructure, you need the ability to easily correlate Cilium network and resource metrics with data from your Kubernetes resources.

An Active Directory (AD) environment has things like forests, trees, domains, organization units, and objects. After growing acquainted with these concepts, the next step on this learning journey is to understand AD sites.
