As developers, we spend most of our time thinking about code: how to design it, write it, debug it, integrate it. Our thoughts are of our source files, our attention is on the repositories and branches that populate our version control system. That’s our job, that’s our world. But to become DevOps professionals, we must think about what happens to take our code to the clusters where it runs. DevOps means taking our applications from development to delivery.

If you're in FP&A, it can sometimes feel like outsiders think your job is all about routine tasks, like tracking budgets and reporting on cost — which couldn’t be further from the truth. A great FP&A professional deeply understands the business, has a strong command of its metrics, and uses that data to serve as a trusted advisor and partner to stakeholders. You’re not just a “counter” and “tracker” — you’re a driver of strategic outcomes.

New regulations like virtual banking licensing frameworks, advances in open banking and big techs rapidly gaining ground in financial services, are dramatically changing the banking landscape, forcing incumbents to reinvent themselves. To be successful, the bank of the future will need to embrace emerging technologies, focus on providing exceptional customer experiences and take a more holistic approach to ‘change’.

When Squadcast was founded back in 2018, we had a concise yet clear goal—we wanted to make it as easy as possible for companies to manage their IT incident and reliability needs. In the spirit of continuing that mission, today I’m excited to announce our $6M fundraise led by DNX Ventures and backed by Wipro Ventures, Nexus Ventures, and Chiratae Ventures. We’re also pleased to announce the addition of DNX and Q Motiwala to our Board of Directors.

Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) provides shared, persistent, and elastic storage in the AWS cloud. Like Amazon S3, EFS is a highly available managed service that scales with your storage needs, and it also enables you to mount a file system to an EC2 instance, similar to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS).

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at EFS metrics from several different categories—storage, latency, I/O, throughput, and client connections. In this post, we’ll show you how you can collect those metrics—as well as EFS logs—using built-in and external tools.
