We’re pleased to come home from DattoCon19 with memorable experiences. It was a well-curated conference, striking a fine balance between emerging MSP trends, informative sessions, networking and of course, entertainment. Here are my top takeaways from the event.
Cloud adoption continues to increase, and although Forbes projects that 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud by 2020, that leaves approximately 17% still on-premises. For many organizations, a hybrid approach to infrastructure strikes the right balance. Regardless, whether running cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environments, IT teams must stay aware and in control during incidents and service disruptions. This need was the reason we built Edge Connector for Opsgenie.
This week at re:Inforce in Boston, the AWS team showed off its Security Hub service—a powerful service that provides SecOps teams a comprehensive view of their high-priority security alerts and compliance status across their AWS accounts. We’re excited to join AWS at re:Inforce this week as a Security Hub partner, where we’ll show users how PagerDuty and AWS Security Hub work together to provide real-time SecOps to any team using AWS.
On June 20 we have released the 3rd update for EnterpriseAlert 2019. Don’t get confused by the version number, 8.2.0 would better be 8.3.0, but that’s the way it is. Here is a very short EA 2019 release history for CY 2019.
The PagerDuty Incident Response Process is a detailed document that provides a framework for how to structure your incident response process. But sometimes it helps to understand how these seemingly abstract concepts play out during real-world scenarios. You can now hear an incident call recording that’s based on a real PagerDuty incident. Due to the nature of incident response practices, the process guide we publish is filled with very explicit details regarding a variety of situations.
While there are some very good sources out there on how to manage a critical incident, Google also wrote a chapter on incident management in their book, “Site Reliability Engineering”. In this chapter, the folks at Google present their approach to a well-designed critical incident management process.
This month, we are excited to announce a new set of product capabilities and enhancements designed to ensure that teams can work in real time, all the time, wherever they are. Whether they’re on-the-go with their mobile devices or at their desks on a typical work day, we will continue to innovate without sacrificing ease-of-use and adoption.
Let’s set the scene: You’re an on-call engineer, working for a dedicated support team. Your priorities are twofold, including, (1) speedy incident resolution and (2) satisfying clients and stakeholders. With these demands in mind, you adopt OnPage’s integration with ConnectWise. The integration streamlines the ticketing-to-alerting process, ensuring that your team achieves client service excellence.
Real-time operations is a term PagerDuty uses to describe the process in which people can acknowledge, communicate, resolve, and learn from impactful events—all in real time. What can be a more impactful and real time than the miracle of childbirth? Whether it’s your first or fifth child, things don’t always go as planned, but the experience also generally comes with a good story filled with hindsight.
AppDynamics recently announced its new Integration Partner Program, and BigPanda is proud to be an inaugural member. The ten select members of the program have all strategically integrated with AppDynamics in support of its AIOps-focused vision, based on Cisco’s Central Nervous System for IT. We’ve been partnering with AppDynamics for quite some time now, and our inclusion in the partner program is both a natural evolution and an endorsement of our leadership in IT Operations and AIOps.
