So much of our modern software runs on containers. Containerized applications offer great flexibility for developers, but they also come with security risks. Container security is a holistic approach to managing risk in containerized environments. Securing containers requires a broad approach incorporating different tools and policies that enforce security in the software supply chain, infrastructure, container runtime environments, and other potential container attack surfaces.

As we kick off the new year, we’re excited to introduce the latest updates to Calico, designed to create a single, unified platform for all your Kubernetes networking, security, and observability needs. These new features help organizations reduce tool sprawl, streamline operations, and lower costs, making it more convenient and efficient to manage Kubernetes environments.

Across regions, the regulatory landscape is shifting dramatically: These regulations signal a new era where energy waste is no longer just an economic concern but a compliance risk. Failure to adhere can result in hefty penalties, restricted operations, and reputational damage.

Looking for a straightforward way to collect NGINX metrics with OpenTelemetry and send them to your Graphite-based monitoring setup? Unlike Prometheus, which requires configuring scrape jobs and query language nuances, Carbon/Graphite offers a simpler setup with minimal overhead—just send metrics as plain text and query them easily with familiar tools like Grafana. Whether you're setting up dashboards, alerts, or just keeping an eye on traffic, this guide will get you actionable insights in no time!

In today’s fast-paced software landscape, downtime is costly, debugging is time-consuming, and developers are constantly under pressure to resolve issues quickly. Observability tools have traditionally been built for operations and SRE teams, focusing on post-mortem analysis rather than proactive debugging. When developers gain real-time insights into live applications and fix issues without disrupting the software lifecycle it has been proven to be a game changer for a myriad of reasons.

In recent years, the move to SD-WAN technologies like VeloCloud has been both rapid and widespread. While the use of SD-WAN has yielded benefits, one EMA report revealed that only 38% of respondents said their SD-WAN deployments were fully successful.

The phrase “demo express” is no accident or exaggeration, because when it comes to IT process automation, it’s all aboard. Organizations across every vertical contend with a wide variety of IT challenges, such as: costly downtime, large ticket volumes, or a disjointed digital environment made up of many different apps and devices. The challenge is immense, and so too is the business success potential for teams that can harness process automation.

In recent years, many businesses have begun a process known as cloud repatriation. Cloud repatriation is when companies migrate their applications, data, and workloads from the public cloud to on-premises infrastructure. According to IDC, 70-80% of companies are repatriating at least some of their data each year.

As an observability leader, at Logz.io, we pride ourselves on continuous innovation. That’s why, last year, we released our AI agents to revolutionize observability by helping businesses, and their engineering and DevOps teams, automate data analysis and root cause analysis. The primary way in which engineering and DevOps teams interact with the agents is by asking performance, troubleshooting, and optimization-related questions.

You can no longer afford to ignore the silent profit killers lurking in your operations. From bloated IT budgets to unplanned downtime and inefficient incident management, these hidden costs can drain your revenue, eroding customer trust, and exposing your company to financial penalties. The solution? A radical shift toward lean and modern Network Operations Centers (NOCs), digital resilience, and a relentless pursuit of inefficiencies.
