The Prometheus monitoring tool can store its metrics either locally or remotely. You can configure a remote data store using the remote_write configuration. This article describes the various data store options available as well as how to set up a remote store.

At Civo, we’ve always believed that the cloud industry should be fair, open, and accessible to companies of all sizes - not just the select few with deep pockets and large platforms. When the Open Cloud Coalition (OCC) was first proposed, we immediately saw it as an opportunity to cut through the noise and amplify the important voices of the cloud industry.

Salt Lake City, Utah, 13th November 2024 – Today we’re delighted to announce the GA release of our innovative logging solution - VictoriaLogs. Our easy-to-use, open source log management solution combines a powerful query language for easy log searching with minimal resource requirements. It’s perfect for managing and analyzing large volumes of log data, especially in containerised environments such as Kubernetes.

Are you prepared for the next leap in AI hardware? According to NVIDIA, the new GB200 NVL72 is poised to “supercharge next-generation AI and accelerating computing.” Highlights of the GB200 NVL72 include it being 25 times more energy efficient than the H100 and 18 times faster data processing compared to CPU. Data centers worldwide are striving to keep up with the AI surge and must assess whether their current facilities can handle the high-power demands of the infrastructure.

In the webinar, the experts explained why a log management strategy is crucial if you want to accurately assess the health and compliance of your applications. Topics include: Cloud native technologies have made it harder to understand how systems are behaving. Logs are the answer, but they can be voluminous and complex in any environment. How do you make sense of them?

AWS logs are fundamental for organizations to conduct performance analysis, troubleshooting, security monitoring, and adhere to compliance requirements. But if you’re using more than one AWS service you can quickly realize that your logs are expanding out of control across decentralized locations. Therefore it’s crucial that you can process and analyze all your AWS logs within a single centralized repository.

For organizations, distributing software artifacts effectively is crucial to building strong developer relationships and delivering a seamless experience. Yet, managing and personalizing the distribution of software packages—like SDKs or container images—can be challenging. Cloudsmith, a leader in cloud-native artifact management, has introduced Broadcasts to address these needs.

As containerized environments evolve, effective artifact management is crucial for any organization using Kubernetes or similar ecosystems. Cloudsmith’s container registry now fully complies with the Open Container Initiative (OCI) distribution specification, allowing customers to store, secure, and distribute images and artifacts with greater efficiency.

As software complexity advances, understanding what’s happening across every part of your software supply chain becomes crucial. You need to see where artifacts are used, how secure they are, and whether they meet compliance standards. The ability to capture this is known as observability. Observability goes beyond data collection to provide essential insights that help teams understand, troubleshoot, and enhance complex systems.

In a rapidly evolving digital environment, organizations across various sectors—including technology firms, financial services, and manufacturing—rely on effective management of software artifacts to secure their software supply chains The risk of supply chain attacks has intensified, revealing vulnerabilities at every stage of artifact management. Compliance breaches, data leaks, and unvetted code present serious threats, and Cloudsmith aimed to tackle these challenges head-on.
