Blameless Incident Management is a tool for managing production incidents. However, it can support many different use cases due to its flexibility. Here at Blameless, we try to “dogfood” our product as much as possible. So we’ve taken to using the IM feature for many other aspects of our daily work, not just system outages. One use case that I’m particularly fond of is using the tool to drive alignment and collaboration around long-term infrastructure projects.

Do you really ever know how much Azure Storage you are consuming or how many Azure Storage Blobs you have in each of your Storage Accounts? Perhaps you just need an overview of your Azure Storage Account Consumption, including things like the number of Blobs per storage account, Number of Containers, and the Azure Blob Storage Capacity used. All this information is quite easy to gather from one of the several reports available in Cloud Storage Manager.

Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) is a well-known web server that hosts web applications and is used in many sectors like banking, healthcare, logistics, E-commerce, etc. It is the backbone of many IT Infrastructures but if it encounters issues it can cause websites to experience higher response times. Hence, end-users often leave the website. A web server plays a vital role in an organization’s IT infrastructure.

Netdata is architected on every level, across both the open-source Netdata Agent and Netdata Cloud, to help you own every layer of your monitoring experience. With this design, all metrics data collected by the Netdata Agent stays distributed on your node, but you also leverage Netdata Cloud’s dashboards and multi-node visualizations to view the health and performance of an entire infrastructure from a single application.

What would you say if I would tell you that you can be as productive with the cheapest laptop as with the one you already have? Would you believe me if I would say that there is no need for you to install an IDE, compilers, CLIs, Docker, and whatever else you might have on your laptop? How about having a full development environment created whenever you need it instead of dealing with virtual machines and whatever else might be fulfilling your development needs?

Earlier this month the Kubernetes project discovered a security issue affecting multitenant clusters: If a potential attacker can already create or edit services and pods, then they may be able to intercept traffic from other pods (or nodes) in the cluster. An attacker that is able to create a ClusterIP service and set the spec.externalIPs field can intercept traffic to that IP.

Looking to level up your performance tuning game? Check out three new videos on tempdb, unstable query plans, and identifying blocking chains with SQL Monitor. I got to work with some of my favorite folks from the SQL Monitor team last week to build some new workload patterns for our online monitoring demo site. Here are three videos sharing some highlights of performance tuning features in SQL Monitor.

18 months ago, Redgate embarked on a new and ambitious journey with the acquisition of Flyway. It’s been quite a ride since then and we thought we’d end 2020 with an update on what’s been happening with the world’s most popular open source migrations framework for database deployments. We’ve learned a lot, and I wanted to share that with you in this post.

Continuous Deployment (CD) requires setting up your infrastructure and automation to update your solution with the latest code change from the main branch. That’s what we call “Liquid Software”. Full automation makes your deployment seamless, less error prone, faster and it makes the feedback loop shorter because you can now deploy after each change. Achieving continuous deployment requires the following elements.

We’re excited to share that the official Elastic Cloud Terraform provider is now available in beta. Operations and SRE teams often rely on Terraform to safely manage production-related infrastructure using methodologies such as infrastructure as code, which allows you to apply peer-reviewed infrastructure changes in an automated and controlled fashion. The provider works with Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, Elastic Cloud Enterprise, and Elasticsearch Service Private environments.
