Learn how you can modernize your applications at scale for a powerful hybrid multicloud solution. Every network team wants a hybrid multicloud network that is efficient, resilient, secure, and scalable. Megaport has been a part of this journey for years, and many enterprises today leverage Megaport Cloud Router(MCR) for their cross-cloud workloads to achieve their dream networks.

Recently, a striking report published by Omdia and Canonical highlighted that 86% of communication service providers (CSPs) are optimistic about the future of edge computing on telco networks. This is a market that is expected to grow substantially in the coming years, with our report shedding light on the motivation that CPSs are drawing from the enhancements that 5G networks will bring.

It’s no secret that many businesses rely heavily on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for their infrastructure and application needs. While AWS offers scalability, flexibility, and reliability, managing and monitoring cloud resources can be challenging. That’s where AWS monitoring and observability can be a tremendous asset. Today, we will explore how implementing these practices is crucial for ensuring that your cloud environment operates smoothly, efficiently, and securely.

Kubernetes operators and Helm charts are both tools used for deploying and managing applications within Kubernetes clusters, but they have different strengths, and it can be difficult to determine which one to use for your application. Helm simplifies the deployment and management of Kubernetes resources using templates and version-controlled packages. It excels in scenarios where repeatable deployments and easy upgrades or rollbacks are needed.

Managing your AWS costs is both crucial and complex, and as your AWS environment grows, it becomes harder to know where you can optimize and how to execute the necessary changes. Datadog Cloud Cost Management provides invaluable visibility into your cloud spend that enables you to explore costs and investigate trends that impact your cloud bill.

Kafka brokers are the backbone of your data streaming architecture. They’re responsible for storing, distributing, and managing large amounts of data in real-time. As your Kafka cluster scales, keeping those brokers healthy, optimized, and resilient becomes more critical than ever. Proper broker management ensures that your data streams are running smoothly, that performance is maximized, and that any faults are handled without major interruptions.

As organizations move their application workloads to the cloud, understanding the difference between cloud observability vs monitoring is crucial to ensure optimal performance and seamless operations. While both concepts are often mentioned in tandem, they serve different purposes, and mastering each can help organizations thrive in increasingly complex cloud environments.

With any change, there are risks. Change Management risks refer to potential negative outcomes that could occur during the process of implementing a change. These include things like operational disruptions, financial losses, or security vulnerabilities. When managing a change, it’s crucial not just to focus on the change itself but also to plan for and mitigate these risks. Effective Change Management requires a proactive approach.

In the of IT Service Management (ITSM), balancing performance expectations with actual outcomes can feel like walking a tightrope. Businesses rely heavily on defining measurable targets to ensure smooth operations, and that’s where terms like Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Service Level Objective (SLO) come in. But when we dive into the nitty-gritty, understanding the differences between SLA vs SLO can get tricky.
