Increasingly, we are seeing on-prem workloads being moved onto the cloud. Elasticsearch has been around for many years with our users and customers typically managing it themselves on-prem. Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud — our managed Elasticsearch service that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure across many different regions, is the best way to consume the Elastic Stack and our solutions for enterprise search, observability, and security.

In December, AWS announced the new VPC Reachability Analyzer tool. Using this tool, AWS can analyse the paths within your VPC to determine whether the various components in your VPC can communicate with each other or not.

We all know that debugging serverless is time-consuming and hard and that AWS Console doesn’t make it much easier. CloudWatch isn’t quite known for its ease of use. Why? Well to start with, it has suboptimal search features, logs scattered across multiple buckets and groups, little visualization capability, and no structure of Lambda function invocations.

One of the keys to CloudWatch’s success is its no bang, no buck billing system. The pricing structure has been designed from the outset to ensure that CloudWatch users only pay for what they actually use. In addition, the CloudWatch Free Tier allows first time users to test the waters without shelling out. The downside of this flexibility and adaptability is complexity.

One of the many aspects of CloudZero’s cloud cost intelligence is anomaly detection. Unlike solutions which require you to set budgets or thresholds, CloudZero uses machine learning to automatically detect and alert on anomalies, then send them directly to dev team Slack channels where the responsible engineers can view and take action. Here are just a few examples of real customer anomalies, what caused them, and the action the customer took.

This is everything you need to know about FlashDrive, and how it can help you reduce your infrastructure costs while improving your applications' responsiveness and overall quality.

Cloud computing sometimes spoils one with choices. Let's just take a look at a couple of common cloud services. You can use cloud services to deploy and scale web and mobile apps besides monitoring them. AWS and Heroku provide cloud computing resources. AWS is from Amazon, while Heroku is from Salesforce. In this article, let us see which one is better to use from the start-up perspective.

Come December, it’s traditional in the industry to meditate on emerging trends and make predictions about how these will shape the year to come. I have my fair share of prognostications for 2021, but I want to take this moment to reflect on a year that could never have been predicted.

Developers and operators on IT and development teams want powerful metric querying, analysis, charting, and alerting capabilities to troubleshoot outages, perform root cause analysis, create custom SLI / SLOs, reports and analytics, set up complex alert logic, and more. So today we’re excited to announce the General Availability of Monitoring Query Language (MQL) in Cloud Monitoring! MQL represents a decade of learnings and improvements on Google’s internal metric query language.
