Amazon CloudWatch Logs enables you to centralize the logs from different AWS services, logs from your applications running in AWS and on-prem servers, using a single highly scalable service. You can then easily view these logs data, search them for specific error codes or patterns, filter them based on specific fields, or archive them securely for future analysis.

Many businesses operating in the cloud are looking for ways to reduce cloud costs, and enterprises using Google Cloud are no exception. One of the pricing models Google Cloud is offering to users is Committed Use Discounts (CUDs). This pricing model allows customers to commit either to a minimum amount of resource usage or to a minimum amount of spend for a specified term of one or three years. In return for this commitment, customers receive significant discounts compared to on-demand pricing.

Another KubeCon has passed! Now that we have all (hopefully) recovered from the week in Paris with good food, wine, and catching up with colleagues, let’s talk about the important topics that took center stage at KubeCon EU 2024 this year. As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the initial Kubernetes release, it’s evident that the growth and positive impact of containerized computing have revolutionized the industry.

Every day, we hear about new vulnerabilities or exploits that underline the importance of application security in today’s connected world. Such incidents put sensitive user information at risk and threaten applications’ infrastructure. Securing applications is therefore crucial not only from a technical standpoint but also to maintain user trust and ensure service reliability. The challenge lies in identifying and mitigating potential security threats before they can be exploited.

For years “the move to the cloud” implied a singular event – a singular migration to a singular entity. It all sounded so simple. Yet, the “simple” act of moving to the cloud stands in stark contrast to the reality of today’s complex, hybrid IT estates where the overwhelming volume of data flows can make it challenging for IT teams to effectively pinpoint and rectify service incidents.

Traditionally, data centers have been managed using on-premises software – and for many companies, this solution has been sufficient. However, as the data center environment becomes more intricate and dynamic, a new approach to management is required. Cloud-based Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software has emerged as the next generation of management tools, offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Microsoft Azure provides an array of managed services to support many aspects of cloud computing, including application development, workload migration, and data management. To help you monitor the health and performance of these services, Datadog offers integrations with more than 40 Azure services, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Cosmos DB, and Azure App Services. Each integration provides robust data visualizations, meaningful alerts, and one-click Datadog Agent deployment.

Recently when recording an episode of the FinOps on Azure podcast with Rik Hepworth which will be out soon we discussed a scenario where we have a cost issue because something went wrong with an Azure solution. In this article we will explore that problem and how you can implement some protection for it.

In the digital age, effective document management is the cornerstone of operational efficiency, especially within platforms like SharePoint. SharePoint serves as a central repository for a myriad of documents—each vital for the day-to-day function of a business. However, without proper management, this repository can quickly turn into an unnavigable maze.
