The latest News and Information on Cloud monitoring, security and related technologies.
Since launching in 2014, AWS Lambda has dramatically grown in popularity. Lambda allows you to run code 7without having to manage the underlying compute resources. From a monitoring standpoint, you no longer have the need or ability to observe traditional performance metrics like CPU and memory. That doesn't mean you don't need to keep an eye on other things, though. So what metrics should you monitor for your Lambda functions?
Lumigo’s Transaction Timeline lets you see in a glance the flow of a transaction across its components and the latency caused by each, allowing you to easily identify bottlenecks and issues. Distributed tracing is a popular method for monitoring and profiling transactions in a microservices architecture. It’s what developers use to pinpoint failures, performance drops and other problems.
Innovation drives success. And today more than ever, software drives innovation. No matter what product or service you offer, you’re a software company. You may not sell something called “software,” but successfully building, marketing, delivering, and supporting customers for any product today relies on software and technology. Innovation is what software developers do. And software developers are at the center of what CloudZero does.
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in software development is often what we strive for when proving a case for improvement or product. With the movement toward the cloud infrastructure, we should start striving for a Minimum Viable Cloud (MVC). An MVC consists of everything needed to get a cloud environment up and running. The main services of cloud infrastructure are Communication, Application, and Storage.
The current period, with so many working from home due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, has seen a considerable increase in cloud communications consumption. Microsoft Teams’ daily active user count alone has more than doubled in approximately a month. As a long-time partner of Microsoft, Ribbon and our partners have been on the front lines helping organizations keep their communications robust and available during this time.
San Jose, CA, May 13, 2020 – Virtana, the leader in enterprise hybrid cloud migration and optimization, announced today a new $15 million investment from HighBar Partners and Benhamou Global Ventures. The funding will allow Virtana to help more customers optimize performance, cost, and capacity in on-premises and cloud data centers.
In our series on how to deploy an app to AWS with the least effort, we've talked about getting started, preventive measures, and securing your app. Today, we're going to focus on DNS (domain name system), specifically the AWS DNS service Route 53. As you're deploying your web app, you will inevitably use DNS.
Kubernetes is hugely popular and growing, and is primarily used on the cloud — 83 percent of organizations included in a large CNCF survey said they run Kubernetes on at least one public cloud. Amazon is a natural option for Kubernetes clusters, due to its mature and robust infrastructure, and a variety of deployment options with a varying degree of automation.
From the development and operations side, launching a new software application can be quite challenging. Deciding which tools to use, how to organize the task pipeline, managing collaboration among team members, monitoring performance and potential issues after launch, etc. It’s not easy to get it done right. Dashbird recently went through all of this. Behind the scenes, our amazing development team worked really hard to overcome all challenges and deliver the best value to our users.
