Monitoring your cloud infrastructure is an essential part of making sure your operations are running smoothly. Since announcing the new Cloud Logging interface in February, we’ve heard from users that the new interface is making it faster and easier to meet logging needs, including troubleshooting issues, verifying deployments, and ensuring compliance. One of those users, Arne Claus, is a site reliability engineer at trivago, and has taken advantage of the new interface already.

You may have noticed some URLs have the added S after “http.” This means a site has SSL security. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It keeps sensitive information, like social security numbers, credit card numbers, login credentials, or medical records, from being intercepted by encrypting the data while it passes between servers. Now, you might be thinking, if I don’t sell things online then I don’t need SSL security. Think again.

Today every organization has invested in the cloud for higher agility, scalability, computing performance, and more. With self-service portals offering easier provisioning, cloud-based services and platforms have reduced operational overheads on IT teams significantly. Further, with cloud, organizations can choose pay-as-you-go plans without making any heavy upfront investments, get full visibility into their spending, and achieve a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

There are two ways to test software. The first and most obvious is to simply allow users to test functionality by using the software as it was intended. This is the method likeliest to produce the most useful and practical results. The other method is by automating testing. This requires a second piece of software designed to provide input and analyze output from the original application.
