Hi everyone, Albane here 👋 If you read my changelogs, you probably realized that I have been talking about a V3 in the making; almost a year after our V2, the wait is almost over because after gathering all of your precious feedback and nearly a quarter of work the Alpha testing is coming before the end of the month! 🤩 This V3 is undoubtedly the most significant product evolution of the last twelve months, but what’s so special about it?

As an IT Ops exec, imagine your jubilation upon learning that after a year of hard work across your NOC, DevOps and SRE teams, you are able to automate incident response by 25%. You’re elated as you enter your CTO’s office to share this information, and their response is.

This year's Monitorama is quickly approaching. This year, the event is hosted in Portland, Oregon, from June 27 to 29th. It features talks from industry experts and community leaders on all things monitoring, observability, SLI/SLO, and most importantly, what practitioners are doing (not vendors and providers).

More enterprises are adopting cloud computing to ensure that they can accelerate innovation, stay competitive, and enjoy cost savings. This trend has only increased in the last two years with the rise of remote work necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the rise of cloud adoption, multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployments are increasing in popularity as well. According to a Gartner survey, 81% of survey respondents are using two or more cloud providers.

The modernization of infrastructure and applications is driving the rapid growth of containers, and as companies scale the adoption of Kubernetes, it’s critical to incorporate security and compliance. The challenge? Compliance and security is a journey, not a state in time, and application security in Kubernetes has a large surface area. This challenge increases exponentially as you run more applications, onboard more developers, add more environments, add new pipelines, and more.

Hostile work environments are a real problem in tech and can be a significant driver of IT job stress. This is particularly true for IT helpdesk and support roles. Helpdesk agents often complain of burnout and frustration related to how end-users treat them. IT service roles will never be “stress-free”. The nature of break-fix work for critical systems inherently comes with the job.

Circular IT and Zero Waste Strategies are vital goals for eG Innovations. To support this initiative, we offer flexible licensing options that meet the needs of clients regardless of the solution they choose to employ.

Government agencies are facing a rising need for changes to their IT infrastructure. This need is becoming even more urgent as they continue to migrate operations to the cloud. Leveraging modern cloud applications and resources within an existing legacy agency environment requires IT agility to maintain the balance of security while keeping pace with an agency’s mission.

Accelerating the overall enterprise efficiency is not an easy task as you probably rely on multiple tools to communicate with customers, partners, employees, and vendors. There’s a chance that you’re already working with multiple software vendors to optimize your IT and network infrastructure. However, this can create chaos across your IT landscape – causing poor user experiences, disparate workflows, recurring IT issues, upgrading systems, and more.
