Nowadays, organizations address a high volume of incidents everyday. With so much happening, responders can be overwhelmed by the volume of incidents and may end up de-prioritizing certain important incidents. Hence, it is important to have an efficient on-call scheduling and escalation process in place. In this blog, we will explore how Round Robin Escalations can help distribute on-call load and set up efficient on-call schedules. This blog covers the following pointers.

Customer trust and satisfaction are the most important currency your business can own. No matter how brilliant your product, without happy customers your business will struggle. When everything is running smoothly, it’s easy to feel that heady dose of customer love. It’s when things break during an incident that these relationships are really put to the test.

The VMware Tanzu team continues to work with our cloud provider partners to offer a streamlined, vendor-agnostic Kubernetes management platform. In our ongoing commitment to support customers in their multi-cloud application modernization efforts, the VMware Tanzu Mission Control team will be introducing a preview* of lifecycle management for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters in the coming months.

At VMware, we are on a mission to build a comprehensive, extensible, and intelligent monitoring and observability platform to help businesses run seamlessly. Over the past few years, we have evolved our platform to deliver invaluable end-to-end observability across applications and infrastructure.

Danielle Burrow and Munjal Munshi contributed to this blog post. Every modern enterprise is building applications to generate revenue, connect people and systems, and automate processes. Modern applications, architected to take advantage of the flexibility and efficiencies of the cloud, are projected by IDC to surpass traditional apps by 2024.

If you are using Argo CD, you may be already familiar with how the Application CRD (Custom Resource Definition) object helps you logically group together your Kubernetes Manifests. The Application object is the atomic unit of work in Argo CD, and you should think of all your Kubernetes objects that are in an Application as a single entity. Applications are also autonomous. Meaning that, by design, one Application doesn’t know about the status or health of another Application.

In this Postman load testing tutorial, you’ll learn how to run a large scale load test in Kubernetes using your existing Postman collections. Because HTTP services don’t have a graphical user interface, it’s common to build collections of requests using Postman during the development process. These collections are useful for running quick functionality tests as you develop each endpoint.

In this blog, we examine how anomaly detection helps by setting up healthy alerts and providing efficient root cause analysis. Anomaly detection, part of AIOps, guides your attention to the places and times where remarkable things occurred. It reduces information overload, thereby speeding up RCA investigation.

As organizations continue to expand their cloud footprint, managing costs without risking application performance is a priority. Because of this, Arm processors have become popular for their efficient, cost-effective processing power. Microsoft Azure’s new series of Azure Virtual Machines are powered by Ampere Altra Arm-based processors, which provide excellent price performance for scale-out and cloud-native workloads.
