We are excited to announce that Elastic is joining forces with Cmd to accelerate our efforts in Cloud security - specifically in cloud workload runtime security. By integrating the capabilities of Cmd's expertise and product into Elastic Security, we will enable customers to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks on their cloud workloads.

While we know the many benefits of going serverless – reduced costs via pay-per-use pricing models, less operational burden/overhead, instant scalability, increased automation – the challenges of going serverless are often not addressed as comprehensively. The understandable concerns over migrating can stop any architectural decisions and actions being made for fear of getting it wrong and not having the right resources.

A WS is a comprehensive platform with over 200+ types of cloud services available globally. As organizations adopt these services, monitoring their performance can seem overwhelming. The majority of AWS workloads behind the scenes are dependent on a core set of services: EC2 (the compute service), EBS (block storage), and ELB (load balancing).

Today’s decision-making is different than even a few years ago. More “data” is used, and the data inputs take several forms, including humans. A big part of today’s strategy and decision-making at enterprise-class organizations are committees, made up of a company’s subject matter experts and relevant stakeholders for a critical company initiative.

Many enterprises accelerated their multi-cloud strategies in the last 18 months as they grappled with pandemic-induced infrastructure changes. In this blog, we look at some of the new trends in multi-cloud and examine the growing challenge of multi-cloud connectivity .

We’ve seen time and again how serverless architecture can benefit your application; graceful scaling, cost efficiency, and a fast production time are just some of the things you think of when talking about serverless. But what about serverless security? What do I need to do to ensure my application is not prone to attacks? One of the many companies that do serverless security, Protego, came up with an analogy I really like.

Migrating workloads to the cloud can be tricky. In fact, a study Virtana conducted earlier this year found that 72% of respondents had to move applications back on-premises after migrating them to the public cloud because they ran into a variety of problems. Clearly, organizations need to address these showstoppers.

How can you run a fully managed Kubernetes in a private cloud at half the cost of Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service)?

When existing software applications fail to fulfill the complex requirements of evolved modern businesses, it requires an upgrade to a more higher-end version of the applications. This entire process of modernizing or shifting an existing application to a new computing environment is known as migration.
