In the post, Owen Sullivan, Software Development Manager at Workday, discusses how Workday raised their availability SLA from an already industry-leading 99.5% to 99.7%, and how one of the key drivers they see for delivering on this promise is efficient monitoring.

Executive Summary: Practically unlimited remote desktop support for a one time cost of $125! Really? Sounds like a scam? No, we’ve had this underappreciated feature for years. Time to get the word out on how to take advantage of it!
Lambda@Edge is a compute service that allows you to write JavaScript code that executes in any of the 150+ AWS edge locations making up the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network (CDN) service. In this post, I’ll provide some background on CDN technologies. I will also build out an application stack that serves country-specific content depending on where the user request originates from.
