Setting clear and attainable goals for cloud cost optimization keeps your whole organization on track and working toward a common end. The emphasis here is on clear and attainable. In other words, your team must know where they are headed and have full confidence that they can get there.

Web servers are among the most important components in modern IT infrastructures. They host the websites, web services, and web applications that we use on a daily basis. Social networking, media streaming, software as a service (SaaS), and other activities wouldn’t be possible without the use of web servers. And with the advent of cloud computing and the movement of more services online, web servers and their monitoring are only becoming more important.

We’re fortunate enough to speak to a huge number of companies about their incident management processes. In doing so, we’ve noticed an emergent trend in how modern companies are using software to support their incident management processes, and a common set of challenges faced by them too.

The HTTP protocol has become the de facto standard application layer protocol of the internet. From publicly available web sites and APIs to “inter-process” communications in REST based microservice architectures or large Service Oriented Architectures based on SOAP, you find HTTP being used again and again, due to its simplicity and our familiarity with it. How many protocols can you name that have memes for their status codes?

We are in 2022, Platform Engineering is a fast-emerging concept at the intersection of DevOps and SRE, where the goal is to make developers from organizations to be completely autonomous in provisioning new applications and environments. All of that without requiring one to be an infrastructure expert. In this article, I will explain what DevOps Engineers need to do to become proficient Platform Engineers.

Configurations are considered the heart of network infrastructure. They are often adjusted to improve the overall workflow of the network environment. One small unnecessary change to a configuration can bring down an enterprise’s entire network infrastructure. Therefore, the changes made to configurations must always be checked to ensure they are in sync with the devices to improve efficiency and performance. A network configuration is generally divided into two parts: 1.

We have already covered several aspects of Argo CD in this blog such as best practices, cluster topologies and even application ordering, but it is always good to get back to basics and talk about installation and more importantly about maintenance. Chances are that one of your first Argo CD installations happened with kubectl as explained in the getting started guide.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) eases deploying and running Kubernetes on the AWS platform. A fully managed Kubernetes service, EKS eliminates the need to install, configure, or maintain Kubernetes nodes or control planes on your own. With EKS, you can leverage the performance, scalability, and availability of AWS infrastructure, along with integrations with multiple AWS compute, storage, security, serverless, and networking services.

Mattermost v7.4 is generally available today. The following new features are included (see changelog for more details).

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a standard tool for container orchestration. It provides a set of primitives to run resilient, distributed applications. One of the key difficulties that developers face is being able to focus more on the details of the code than the infrastructure for it. The serverless approach to computing can be an effective way to solve this problem.
