Virtual Offsites: A Collaboration Approach For Distributed Teams

Once a year, PagerDuty’s SREs get together for a three-day, in-person offsite. With the team spread across three time zones in the U.S. and Canada, encompassing two offices and three remote members, face time is rare and valuable. We use our offsites for thoughtful discussions on team health, long-term project roadmap planning, refining and updating our team’s mission, and to simply spend time together as a team.

Predicting The Next Big Wave of DevOps Cultural Transformation

We read with interest a recent article from CloudBees published in The New Stack: How Culture Will Make or Break Cloud Native DevOps and have seen some highly differing views on where the adoption of DevOps is. The Cloudbees article starts by saying that “Software delivery cycles are becoming faster thanks to DevOps-backed continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) as production pipelines are increasingly ported to scale with microservices on cloud-native environments.”

Change is in the air. BigPanda can help you embrace it.

It’s time for change – my first insight from GartnerIO, 2018. During my flight to Vegas I remembered that this was probably my 15th visit to a conference in Vegas (but who can really count…after a few, it all starts to blur together).

The Tool Sprawl Problem in Monitoring

One of the biggest KPIs in the DevOps space is monitoring. There are so many tools to help any organization to complete their monitoring picture, but no tool does everything and most organizations use many tools to help complete their monitoring solution. Mashing tools together often creates a problem of its own — the tool sprawl problem.

How to Monitor Kubernetes Without an Agent on Every Node

LogicMonitor is an agentless monitoring solution. What we really mean by “agentless” is that we don’t require an agent on every monitored server (physical or virtual). One LogicMonitor Collector - a lightweight application that takes just seconds to install - can monitor hundreds or even thousands of devices, including servers, virtual machines, network switches, storage systems, cloud resources, containers, and more.
