Last month, we announced our new GitOps Environment dashboard that finally allows you to promote Argo CD applications easily between different environments.

Kubernetes has revolutionized the world of container orchestration, enabling organizations to deploy and manage applications at scale with unprecedented ease and flexibility. Yet, with great power comes great responsibility, and one of the key responsibilities in the Kubernetes ecosystem is resource management. Ensuring that your applications receive the right amount of CPU and memory resources is a fundamental task that impacts the stability and performance of your entire cluster.

Azure Automation is a powerful IT Automation service in use by thousands of organisations. Many organisations are using Azure Automation just as a PowerShell runbook execution service and are unaware of its wider capabilities.

No one wants to get an alert in the middle of the night. No one wants their Slack flooded to the point of opting out from channels. And indeed, no one wants an urgent alert to be ignored, spiraling into an outage. Getting the right alert to the right person through the right channel — with the goal of initiating immediate action — is the last mile of observability.

In the world of Kubernetes and container management, Rancher and OpenShift have established themselves as prominent players. Both offer unique features and capabilities to streamline cloud application deployment and management. This article will explore a detailed comparison between these two powerhouses. From deployment flexibility and cloud integration to user interface and support structures, we will analyze each platform to provide a comprehensive view.

As John Lennon once said, another year over…and a new one just begun. As we head into 2024, it’s important to reflect on what we’ve seen and where we need to focus in the year ahead.

With the increasing prevalence of IoT devices, which are being used in a wide range of applications, from smart homes and cities to industrial and agricultural systems, monitoring thei performance and health is extremely important. However, it’s essential to remember that monitoring IoT devices involves more than just tracking device-level data. In addition, monitoring data from the IoT platform or application layer is equally important.

Welcome again to another BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services blog post. In my previous blog post, I discussed how to send zipped messages or files. Today, we will discuss the same topic but in the opposite direction, which is also a classic requirement in legacy BizTalk Server solutions: How do you receive zipped messages (files)?

Editor’s Note: This blog is the first of a two-part series that recaps our first-ever “Ask Me Anything (AMA)” session. Part 2, to include questions 5-9, is set to publish next Tuesday. Seems like there’s an overload of burning, tough questions surrounding IT automation and orchestration, doesn’t it?

The term High Performance Computing, HPC, evokes a lot of powerful emotions whenever mentioned. Even people who do not necessarily have vocational knowledge of hardware and software will have an inkling of understanding of what it’s all about; HPC solves problems at speed and scale that cannot be achieved with standard, traditional compute resources. But the speed and the scale introduce a range of problems of their own.
