Armed with a Ph.D. from UC San Diego, our guest started off with internships at Google and Microsoft before gaining valuable experience as a VP and a highly sought-after consultant for startups and SMBs. Now he’s one of the world’s foremost experts on wrangling vast data sets and maximizing efficiency.

Many years ago, I attained my private pilot’s license. This entailed completing a very structured program, similar to how most companies introduce a product to a new user. Let’s be honest, there is a really good reason for this – to avoid the crash and burn. With flight training, it’s literal, while with products it’s a bit more figurative (except when you YOLO something into production–that can cause a crash and burn–and leave for a bad first impression).

As organizations look to become cloud-first to meet the growing demands of the shifts in the ways we do business, we have seen the pace of digital transformation accelerate. As a result, organizations have evolved their cloud strategies to multi-cloud environments and are adopting more containers, microservices, and cloud native technologies. This is creating increasingly distributed systems, making it harder to gain a comprehensive view into how they’re performing.

When GreenRoad experienced a period of intense growth and expansion within a short time, the organization knew that it would need to upgrade its NOC support services to meet the standards of its new prominent and international clients. In addition, as their platforms rely on cloud support, finding a provider that could offer high availability and fast and efficient service was critical, and MoovingON seemed the perfect candidate.

This day started a bit abruptly, with several services experiencing outages due to a Cloudflare outage. It started approximately at 06:34 AM UTC. Check the official announcement. What came next was a domino effect through many popular services over the internet. Major services like Gitlab, Notion, Hubspot, Digital Ocean, Monday, Recurly, and a lot more. We registered incidents from 230 services between the outage was published until it was marked as resolved.

Digital transformation, no matter what form it takes within your organization, is a high-stakes initiative to deliver strategic impact to the business. The cloud is a pivotal enabler to that effort. But there’s a flip side—challenges related to migrating and managing workloads in the cloud can have a negative impact on the success of your transformation efforts.

In the past couple of months, after nearly a decade of huge returns and steady growth, the tech industry has officially slowed down. Companies are tightening their belts — laying off employees, freezing spending, and lowering budgets. If you work in tech right now, it’s likely you’ve felt it.

Kubernetes is an open source software that helps you manage and deploy your containerized applications. Kubernetes consists of two major component control planes (which decide where to run your pod) and a worker node (where your workload runs). As Kubernetes is a complex system, managing these components is challenging, and this is where you can use a Kubernetes as a Service solution like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

A recent study from Juniper Research predicts the value of enterprise cybersecurity spend will continue to climb, exceeding $226 billion in 2027; up from $179 billion in 2022. This growth of 26% over the next five years reflects a rising awareness of vulnerabilities, not least of which is DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) as a key driver behind the increasing spend.
