Did You Survive This Week's Microsoft Teams Outage?

Though rare, Microsoft Teams outages can impact the productivity of your entire organization. For IT teams, staying one step ahead of an outage has never been more critical. From the time an outage begins productivity can plummet and IT starts to scramble in the dark to identify who, where and what is impacted and why.

Unified Observability is the Solution IT Has Been Waiting For

IT teams have been relying on observability tools to (theoretically) provide intelligence and insights into operating conditions within an organization’s digital infrastructure for years. But most of these tools have come with significant shortcomings that leave IT teams wanting more.

In the modern web, the JavaScript you write is often down-compiled using a compiler like Babel to make sure your JavaScript is compatible with older browsers or environments. In addition, if you are using TypeScript (like the Sentry SDK’s do) or something similar, you’ll have to transpile your TypeScript to JavaScript.

Introduction to Confidential Computing

Public clouds are great! Yet, many users are still reluctant towards moving their security-sensitive workloads away from their private data centers and into the public cloud, due to a set of security concerns. To address these challenges, what we need is a way to perform a privacy-preserving computation that can protect the confidentiality and integrity of your workload. Confidential computing achieves this by running your workload in a hardware-encrypted execution environment, that is isolated from the cloud provider’s privileged system software (e.g. hypervisor, host OS, and firmware), as well as its employees.
