There’s no getting around the prevalence of heterogeneous tools in IT operations and DevOps. Teams have built up ecosystems of tools over time for different infrastructure, workflows and applications – and while some of them are outdated or duplicitous – plenty still serve a useful purpose in the enterprise. Yet unfortunately tool sprawl adds to the complexity of monitoring a hybrid or multi-cloud environment.
Monitoring the state of DevOps, multi-cloud, microservices and data centre environments is no easy task. You can’t manage what you can’t see. Gaps in your monitoring capability leave your enterprise vulnerable to catastrophic, customer impacting infrastructure blind-spots.
In January 2020, the UK recorded its first case of COVID-19. The world was facing the unknown, and the only apparent way to contain the virus was for every nation across the planet to shut down. As governments across the globe planned for the unknown, organizations rapidly began seeking ways to support efforts to save lives and restart the economies of these countries. One such endeavor was the vital role technology could play in contact tracing.
When you’re on call and get paged at an inconvenient time, you need to be able to quickly determine the seriousness of the issue and act decisively to reduce system downtime. But pager notifications often don’t give you the information you need to investigate an issue from your mobile device, meaning that access to a laptop at all times is a must.
Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is a service for ingesting, processing, and loading data from large, distributed sources such as clickstreams into multiple consumers for storage and real-time analytics. AWS recently launched a new Kinesis feature that allows users to ingest AWS service logs from CloudWatch and stream them directly to a third-party service for further analysis.
The Activate program from Amazon Web Services (AWS) is an easy way to get a little bit of help for your cloud-based startup. Depending on the stage of your startup and some other criteria, you could get up to $100,000 in sweet, sweet AWS credits. So how do you know if you qualify for AWS Activate? Here’s the deal.

When I first started the project that became the Netdata Agent, I was trying to solve a painful, real-world problem: IT infrastructure monitoring tools fell short when it came to providing complete, granular metrics in real time. Believe me, I had no shortage of tools to choose from, but each of them lacked something either in the ability to see every metric I needed, or see it at the frequency required.
Netdata Cloud works differently from other monitoring solutions. Most solutions limit the number and frequency of metrics because they rely on architectures that aggregate data. Netdata Cloud, however, streams limited metadata from each node running the Netdata Agent, keeping you in control of the data on your systems. The advantage of this architecture is that there is no limit to the number or frequency of metrics, regardless of the scale or complexity of your IT infrastructure.
