While the world is largely returning to a semblance of comfort with larger public events, COVID is still a real and present threat, something we keep in the backs of our minds all the time.

How to gain Kubernetes visibility in just a few clicks

Enterprises are increasingly adopting Kubernetes for the value that it brings to their organizations, from IT cost savings to improved time to market for application development. But with this shift comes a fundamental challenge: how to gain comprehensive visibility into your Kubernetes applications, when most existing monitoring tools are hard to scale or provide little or no visibility into Kubernetes? This challenge stems from two unique characteristics of Kubernetes. One, it is ephemeral.

Learn how application monitoring helps lay the foundation for operational success

This blog is about how to communicate changes in your application monitoring process as your operations, environments and services evolve. Approaching your operations with a “monitoring as code” mindset - which means automating as much of the entire observability lifecycle, including automated diagnosis, alerting and incident management, and even automated remediation - is foundational to the success of your operational technology.

geeks+gurus: Modern Application Architecture

In this episode of geeks+gurus, Sumo Logic's Melissa Sussmann and NGINX's Damian Curry will discuss the 4 key pillars of modern application architecture: Portability, Scalability, Resilience, and Agility. We then delve into a discussion around Open Telemetry (OTel) in the context of collection and logs management for modern applications. Disparate tracing, metrics, and logging can make it difficult to abide by the modern app pillars we outline. However, OTel offers a unified standard that can elevate observability in your deployment cycles.
