IT Ops and DevOps people live by metrics – but not all metrics are the same. These days, setting and achieving meaningful service level indicators (SLIs), which translate to service level objectives (SLOs) is a desirable target for many IT pros. Meaningful SLOs have a tight connection with real-world user experiences, versus arbitrary metrics that may distract teams from the root cause of an issue.
San Jose, CA, December 2, 2020 – Virtana today announced the industry’s first unified platform for migrating, optimizing, and managing application workloads across public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Today, we’re excited to announce that EKS is available outside of AWS, on any Ubuntu system, with the EKS snap. This announcement builds on the existing collaboration between Amazon and Canonical to ensure the quality, security, and usability of Ubuntu-based EKS clusters on AWS. “Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) builds on our productive collaboration with Canonical around Ubuntu on AWS, and allows us to expand EKS beyond AWS cloud on any machine running Ubuntu.
Serverless architectures are all about offloading as much operational overhead to the cloud as possible. For the past six years, this primarily meant writing business logic as small pieces of code (< 250MB in size) that are zipped up and given to the cloud to run on demand. This simple model deceptively belies the true power of serverless applications. Because modern applications are often composed of a set of small microservices, each compute resource can itself be minimal in size.
Today is another exciting day in the cloud native computing ecosystem, with AWS announcing Amazon EKS Distro—an upstream aligned Kubernetes distribution. EKS Distro offers consistency for customers who are deploying their apps on the managed Amazon EKS service and are looking for an on-premises deployment. A few things stand out about this effort, and we are excited to continue working with AWS to help enterprises realize the full potential of Kubernetes.
CNCF’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon is the most important event for Kubernetes adopters and technologists.

Its 2020 North America edition marked its fifth anniversary and had 25,000 registrants.
There is no argument about the fact that having a robust IT infrastructure is crucial for any business. Having said that, it is also important to understand the cost versus benefit ratio of your IT tools to determine whether they are delivering an adequate return on investment or need further optimization to be more efficient. This allows businesses to ensure their IT budgeting is on point and they are not under or over resourced when it comes to investing in IT tools.
