The last few decades have seen a remarkable evolution in the technology landscape. Widespread growth has led to a spike in cybersecurity crime, translating into increased regulations globally. In 2016, the EU established the Network and Information Security (NIS) directive as its first comprehensive cybersecurity directive. Now, the EU is updating the directive in response to evolving cybersecurity challenges.

June was a hot month — both in terms of the temperature in North America and because of the FinOps news that has been rolling down the pipeline! (Around here, there’s always excitement in the air when a major FinOps event goes off without a hitch.)

In today's competitive and uncertain tech landscape, engineering organizations are constantly seeking ways to optimize costs without compromising on performance. Efficient resource management and cost reduction have become crucial for businesses aiming to stay alive and ahead. At Cycle, our goal is to offer a robust solution that enhances efficiency while delivering significant cost savings to our users.

At Grafana Labs we believe in shipping features early and often, and in recent years we’ve doubled down on that philosophy. We no longer wait for the yearly major release to give you access to the next big thing. Instead, we regularly make new features, bug fixes, and security patches available to our self-managing users (Grafana OSS and Grafana Enterprise) throughout the year.

In the last few years, many businesses have migrated much of their operations to the cloud, and with increased usage, the complexity of managing cloud costs and achieving operational efficiency has grown as well. In many cases, cloud usage is outpacing the capabilities or availability of DevOps and FinOps teams to effectively manage a larger, more complex cloud infrastructure, so cloud optimization solutions are becoming the lifeline to maintaining reliable and cost-efficient operations.

Optimization is key to achieving cost efficiency and stability for cloud environments. One optimization factor to consider is deciding which availability zones (AZ) to operate in. Location can impact cloud operations availability, performance, and cost. However, it can be a daunting task to look for the most suitable and cost-efficient AZs. There are two key challenges.

If your business is looking to prioritize efficient cross-department service delivery, you are probably in the quest for reliable and feature-rich Enterprise Service Management (ESM) software. It’s no secret that Enterprise Service Management is on everyone’s radar: this practice will make sure all service delivery is aligned with your overall company’s goals, which is no small task.
