Building Organizational Trust for Cloud Optimization Software

You’ve loaded data into Densify and after reviewing recommendations your developers don’t want to take the recommended action – they aren’t trusting, yet. This is one of the top issues identified by the FinOps Foundation and many of our customers of Densify – but not all. Let’s explore what some customers do differently to build organizational trust in taking optimization recommendations.

Streamlining Kubernetes Workflows The Power of CI/CD Integration

In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, where agility and reliability are paramount, Kubernetes has emerged as a game-changer with its container orchestration capabilities. However, as applications become more complex and distributed, managing Kubernetes workflows presents a unique set of challenges.

GraphQL and Cloud-Native Architecture: Is There a Better Way? Civo Navigate NA 2023

Explore the transformative power of GraphQL in solving application networking challenges with Jim Barton at Navigate NA 2023. Barton uses a fictional scenario involving "Wayne Telecom," a telecom services provider in Gotham City, to illustrate the challenges faced by businesses in managing data and network requests. The talk emphasizes the advantages of GraphQL, such as reducing over-fetching of data, improving developer efficiency, and simplifying the architecture by eliminating the need for dedicated GraphQL servers.

Automating Kubernetes Deployments with GitHub Actions

Kubernetes orchestrates the management of containerized applications, with an emphasis on declarative configuration. A DevOps engineer creates deployment files specifying how to spin up a Kubernetes cluster, which establishes a blueprint for how containers should handle the application workloads.

Simplifying Microservices Debugging on Kubernetes with Istio, OTel, and Apica

Microservices architecture has become increasingly popular in modern software development due to its scalability, resilience, and flexibility. However, with the benefits of microservices come the challenges of debugging and monitoring these distributed systems. Using the Istio service mesh, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, and Apica’s Kubernetes-native observability platform, developers can easily collect and visualize performance data in real-time to identify and fix issues quickly.

Cycle's New Interface, Part 1

After a span of 5 long years, we've bid farewell to Cycle's old portal. Our engineering team has been working tirelessly over the last 10 months to bring a fresh, new interface to the platform for our users. This new design encapsulates the wealth of insights we've gained during this period. Just last week, we took the decisive step of launching it into production, and the initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Why you should monitor Kubernetes in SCOM

Why you should monitor Kubernetes in SCOM Kubernetes is one of the most prominent container orchestration platforms available today. As cloud-native and container solutions gain attention, so does Kubernetes. With the new incline towards cloud-native application development, there is a big focus on software development and how to migrate to the cloud. What cannot be forgotten is what needs to be taken care of once the applications are up and running – monitoring.
