It’s April 22 and everybody knows today is Earth Day. But do you know how much energy your IT infrastructure is consuming and what that translates to in cost and carbon footprint? As we place more demands on our IT infrastructure to store and manage the reams of data we’re collecting and run advanced analytics and artificial intelligence on that data, we are inevitably consuming more energy in our data centers.

What it means to be “enterprise grade” has changed. In software development, the size of new artifacts and the pace of development has increased dramatically. Developers are now releasing new components daily, if not multiple times a day. With containerization, and now AI/ML models, new pieces of software can be multiple GBs or larger.

Kubernetes troubleshooting is a critical skill for developers and system administrators managing containerized applications. It involves diagnosing and resolving issues within a Kubernetes cluster, ensuring that applications run smoothly and efficiently. Troubleshooting can range from simple configuration errors to complex networking issues, requiring a deep understanding of Kubernetes architecture and components.

Bitbucket cloud is on a mission to become the world’s most extensible cloud SCM and CI/CD product, and we're thrilled to be able to share the next stage of that journey. Upcoming Webinar: Join us for a live-webinar on May 8th/9th, 2024 for a deep-dive into building your own Dynamic Pipelines. Today, we're announcing the release of a new capability in Bitbucket Cloud called Dynamic Pipelines.

In the world of Kubernetes, scale-down operations are crucial for optimizing resource usage and reducing costs. The scale-down process involves identifying underutilized nodes and efficiently bin-packing the pods to minimize the number of nodes required.

Serverless architectures have revolutionized how businesses deploy applications, offering scalability and cost efficiency by abstracting infrastructure management. This model, charging only for resources consumed, poses unique budgeting and cost optimization challenges due to its variable pricing structure. Navigating cloud costs in a serverless environment requires a nuanced understanding of leveraging this technology’s benefit while effectively managing expenses.
