Note This blog uses “GPU” to refer to the entire processing circuit, including the GPU processor, video memory, and other supporting hardware. ‍ Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the biggest tech trends in years. From generating full movies to updating its own code, AI is performing tasks that were once science fiction.

Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Terraform and CloudFormation allow teams to define, manage, and provision their cloud infrastructure using code, as opposed to clicking through consoles or executing commands via a CLI. IaC adoption is now widespread and helps teams increase productivity and efficiency, but it also introduces new surface area for mistakes, defects, and other risks.

The holidays are almost here, and it’s the perfect time to catch up on everything we’ve rolled out in November. We’ve been busy launching features to make your life easier — so let’s take a quick recap and get you ready for the season!

If you're assessing a new machine vision project and you want to get it right, there’s only one thing you must do: Ask the right questions. It’s that simple. The likelihood of nailing the perfect solution without completing a thorough assessment is low, and the likelihood of completing a thorough assessment is low if you don’t ask the right questions of every consultant, technology provider, and integrator every time.

The error "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure" has become a challenge for DevOps teams. This critical error, occurring when services fail to establish or maintain connections with their upstream dependencies, can significantly impact system reliability and user experience.

We are excited to announce an enhancement to one of our most unique features at Oh Dear: Broken Links! Broken links monitoring crawls your entire website for internal and external links but we now take this a step further by expanding our monitoring to include CSS, JavaScript, and image links.

We all implement tools to monitor our nodes and keep our entire cluster up and running. But how often do updates, failures, or errors mean that users suffer outages, even though our status boards look green? As Kubernetes has enabled more complex microservice architecture, the gap between the state of the dashboard, and the health of services for the user, has grown wider.

As digital transformation highlights the importance of data protection in India, data sovereignty has become essential for businesses to secure digital assets and meet local regulations. In a world where data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance are top priorities, sovereign cloud solutions have emerged as vital for safeguarding digital operations. Civo is addressing these needs by launching the Civo India Sovereign Cloud.

Connecting to data sources in a private network or an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) can require extra attention to the network security configuration to prevent unintended network exposure. For example, if you wanted to query a network-secured data source, like a MySQL database or an Elasticsearch cluster, that is hosted in an on-premises private network, you would need to open your network to inbound queries from a range of IP addresses.

With 2024 coming to a close, it’s a good time to reflect on how Grafana Cloud has evolved this year — and synthetic monitoring, in particular, is one area where we’ve really focused our efforts. In May, we rolled out a revamped version of Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring with the overall goal of making your monitoring processes not just more efficient, but more impactful.
