I am embracing managed Kubernetes services and here’s my journey. While I attended KubeCon 2018 ready to soak up all I could about Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem, I sought to learn as much as I could to aid me in running my clusters day to day. More importantly, though, I experienced a fundamental shift in what I see as the future of Kubernetes, and what getting started in Kubernetes looks like for companies today.

Forty-three percent of application performance problems occur because of an issue in the application code, according to a DZone study. Code-level issues include bugs in the code constructs, such as long waits, poor iterations, inefficient code algorithms, unhandled exceptions, bad choice of data structures, etc. Developers and application owners need code-level insight, so they can pinpoint issues in the code and fix them before users notice.

To kick off the year, we’re launching a monthly blog series to share new product announcements on an ongoing basis. This month, we’re excited to announce several new integrations, as well as the new global events rule API that empowers admins and developers to easily manage event rules at scale. (Be sure to also check out our platform release notes to stay up-to-date on what’s new.)

Role-based access control (RBAC) has become one of the main methods for system access control within large enterprises, assigning access to users based on their role in the organization.

The software review and comparison site CompareCamp recently reviewed Downtime Monkey, and we’re really pleased to have received awards for ‘Great User Experience’ and ‘Rising Star 2018’.

In part 1 of this series, I discussed the rise of microservice architecture and the reliance on Kubernetes and Docker for container orchestration and management. I also shared some of the challenges these new technologies present and what sources of data we need in order to effectively monitor our Kubernetes environments.

It is not a secret that the more engaged your website visitors are, the more chances they will buy from you a product or service. The Gallup analytics firm states that fully engaged customers bring 23% more revenue compared to the ordinary ones. That is the reason why many entrepreneurs start thinking really hard over how to improve this rate and gain more profit.

Behaviour Interactive (BHVR) is one of the largest independent video game developers in North America. They have developed over 250 titles and sold over 60 million copies on all major platforms.

When you’re a small managed service provider (MSP), the owner is the main salesperson, primary technician, head bookkeeper, and office manager. As your company grows, you begin to delegate tasks. Often, the first task to be delegated is bookkeeping because you loathe it. Once you find a bookkeeper to handle your day-to-day accounting tasks, it becomes very tempting to hand it all over.

I made the trip up to Seattle for KubeCon North America at the end of 2018 along with a bunch of us from Sumo Logic. KubeCon is a conference that specializes in all things Kubernetes and focuses on updating the world on the state of the Kubernetes ecosystem. This year’s event was massive with 8,000 attendees, and talks given by representatives from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure to name a few big wigs that were there.
