When deploying an application using Kubernetes, you get used to all your resources being manageable by describing them to the Kubernetes API. Whether it’s deployments, secrets, configurations, or entire machines, everything exists as code somewhere. Introducing a cloud service into such an environment often means introducing additional ways to configure it, which can become cumbersome, given the rising number of cloud services modern applications depend on.

Modern monitoring systems depend heavily on ‘Alerting’ to reduce the Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) faulty systems. But, alerting hasn’t evolved to meet the demands of modern architectures. We’re changing that with Alert Studio.

Monitoring tools are critical for DevOps, enabling them to quickly find and rectify performance issues. With the increasing popularity of Docker, it has become crucial that organizations can effectively monitor these containers. But, as monitoring Docker containers is particularly complex, developing a strategy and an appropriate monitoring system is not simple. However, this process can be streamlined by utilizing a Docker monitoring tool.

KubeCon Europe 2024 in Paris was the biggest event of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to date. With over 12,000 participants, it was a monumental event, setting the stage for the latest trends and developments in cloud-native computing. As your loyal CNCF Ambassador, I’m here to share some of the important updates you don’t want to miss. I also invited fellow CNCF Ambassador Thomas Schuetz to join me with his own insights.

Mitigating the risk of operational failure is top of mind—and a top budget priority—for executives.

As a cloud cost intelligence solution, we often get asked where we fit in the cloud cost universe — and whether or not we’re an alternative to CloudHealth. The short answer is: it depends. The landscape of cloud cost tools is busy, with lots of different solutions that take different approaches to helping companies optimize their cloud costs. To help answer this question, we thought we’d lay out the cloud cost landscape as we see it.

As the healthcare industry has introduced more complex IT infrastructure, it now faces many challenges as it strives to deliver high-quality services to patients. From adapting to remote work and telemedicine to resource constraints, healthcare organizations must continually adapt to new technologies. Some of the nascent technologies, like remote triage of patients, telemedicine, and IoT, have all seen an acceleration in innovation as the industry pivots to visit patients remotely.
