Today we’re happy to announce two new reports available to Skeddly users: Backup Coverage Report, Start/Stop Coverage Report. Both of these reports will cross-reference resources in your AWS account against actions in your Skeddly account to determine how “covered” you are.

Containers are portable assets that let you design and deploy with little overhead from your development team. They take your monolithic code base and turn it into several lightweight modules that you can more easily manage and interconnect without worry of one small module taking out your entire application. This gives you more granular control of your code, but it also means that you have several moving parts as part of your platform.

Business owners are constantly searching for the next great technology that will help streamline solutions, improve workflow efficiency, and boost their ROI. Cloud computing has quickly become one of the most effective technologies in helping companies increase work output and cut costs.

Cloud computing has been around for so long now that cloud is basically a household word. Yet, despite how widespread cloud computing has become, continued adoption of the cloud is now being challenged by new types of use cases that people and companies are developing for cloud environments.

As time goes on, more and more organizations are abandoning the outdated waterfall development methodology for more practical and efficient Agile development practices. As this movement has occurred, development teams are moving faster than ever by employing Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) practices that are serving to shorten development cycles and get new features into production with increasing speed.

Due to its highly scalable nature, monitoring cloud computing is different from monitoring on-premise servers. The cloud vendor may have tools you can use, but if they fall short of your monitoring requirements you need to seek alternative solutions. Discover the right monitoring tools for your situation.
