Cloud migration is the process of moving your infrastructure, applications, and data to the cloud. While the potential benefits—like cost savings, scalability, and modernization—are significant, the risks are just as high if you don’t have a solid plan in place. Without clear strategies, you could face unexpected costs, technical challenges, and security issues.

According to Gartner, 90% of global organizations will run containerized applications in production by 2027. The need for continuous innovation, performance, and availability is driving this shift to meet customer expectations. Kubernetes plays a crucial role in this transformation. It offers a robust open-source platform for managing containerized applications. Yet, ensuring optimal application performance is only possible with observability.

Effective logging is crucial for maintaining and troubleshooting applications running in Kubernetes clusters. As applications become more complex, ensuring they perform optimally has never been more critical. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore Kubernetes logging using kubectl, covering everything from basic commands to advanced techniques and best practices.

Kubernetes namespaces are a fundamental way of organizing your Kubernetes cluster resources to isolate groups of resources for specific needs. With better resource management, easy organization, robust security, and high scalability, Kubernetes namespaces help immensely in development, team handling, and application life cycle management. Site24x7 offers a strong platform for monitoring your Kubernetes namespaces so you can gain granular visibility into the performance and health of your deployment.

Achieving SOC 2 compliance is not just an option—it’s a necessity. SOC 2 compliance demonstrates your organization’s commitment to data security, making it a critical component for businesses that manage sensitive customer information. Achieving this standard can be complex, but with the right guidance and tools, it becomes manageable. This guide will walk you through the key steps to achieving SOC 2 compliance.

This year at VMware Explore Las Vegas, we're excited to announce VMware Tanzu Platform 10. This new release is tailored for modern enterprises, aiming to transform how organizations manage, secure, and optimize their applications with enhanced flexibility and observability. Tanzu Platform 10 allows you to choose between Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes for your platform runtime, whether in public or private cloud environments.

Monitoring is the most important aspect of infrastructure operations. Effective monitoring strategies help optimize infrastructure usage, improve planning, and resolve incidents quickly. While monitoring preceded DevOps, DevOps has further transformed the software development process to the extent that monitoring also has to evolve.

In this article, we will be looking into Kubernetes monitoring with Graphite and Grafana. Specifically, we will look at how your whole Kubernetes set-up can be centrally monitored through Hosted Graphite and Hosted Grafana dashboards. This will allow Kubernetes Administrators to centrally manage all of their Kubernetes clusters without setting up any additional infrastructure for monitoring.
