How often have we tried to access a website or a web service to find that the service is down? Most of the time, an expired SSL certificate is reason behind such unforeseen outages. Not only does it result in loss of productivity for end users, but also leaves a dent in the hard-earned reputation for business owners. This webinar throws light on a few such real-world scenarios and recommends a few best practices you should follow to stay on top of SSL certificate life cycle management.

This video will show how leveraging APM and log management together (metrics, traces, and logs) can accelerate the identification of root cause when troubleshooting performance problems.

Statuspage.io integrates with PagerDuty by parsing the webhooks that are sent when PagerDuty incidents are triggered, acknowledged, resolved, or otherwise updated.

Provide transparency to your customers by adding a metric to your page using a metrics provider. System metrics can include information such as API response time, web server uptime, and more.

At Willhaben, we run Austria’s largest classified advertising marketplace. We started using HAProxy due to our need to move to an all-HTTPS environment. Since then, we’ve leveraged HAProxy for geo-redundancy, HTTP/2, integration with Kubernetes, and blocking suspicious activity. In this talk, I will explain how we gradually shifted from basic HAProxy functionality to our current deployment, and will also describe where we encountered trouble in our production environment and how we overcame it. We are currently serving 5-6 gigabits per second of peak traffic via HAProxy, with about 20k requests per second.

Keeping your service configuration aligned over hundreds of hosts is never a simple task. This talk will illustrate how the University of Paderborn automated the integration of HAProxy into our infrastructure. As our current generation of load balancer appliances approached the end of life and we thought about improving how we managed our services, our goal was clear: we needed a scalable, consistent, active-active setup of load balancers that could be easily automated with open-source tools. We achieve scalability with Anycast but needed to make sure the configurations could keep up with application changes.

Taboola was kind enough to host the Grafana Labs meetup at their wonderful offices in the Atrium tower for an afternoon of metrics, logs, traces, and good times!

The unplanned and unbudgeted surge in remote workers due to the Coronavirus has IT teams scrambling to ensure their virtualized desktop and application infrastructure (Citrix or VMware Horizon) can support the increased usage, workloads, and expectations of seamless performance from workers who are not familiar with remote working.

In this video, we'll discuss how you can simplify the first step towards identifying and troubleshooting network issues with your site's connectivity.

Applications such as WordPress or MySQL require the use of data persistence. It is common when deploying such applications to use a HostPath volume as it is agnostic from the platform. A HostPath volume shares the filesystem of the Host within the container making the data available between pod restarts. However, it ties the data to one node only, creating a single point of failure and restricting any kind of scalability. Kubernetes is not able to schedule the application in any other node even if it is unavailable. This leads to eventual data loss.
