Kubernetes CronJobs are a feature that lets you automate tasks in a Kubernetes cluster. They let you schedule and run jobs on a regular basis, making them good for tasks like data backups, database maintenance, log rotation, and more. CronJobs help make operations easier and reduce manual work, letting you focus on other important parts of your application. In this guide, we will explain what CronJobs are and how they are different from regular Kubernetes Jobs.

One of the fundamental promises of the cloud, when organizations embrace it, is significant cost savings compared to its on-premises costs. However, organizations to realize savings is required to proactively plan and monitor the application’s cost at a granular level. Azure cost anomaly detection involves promptly identifying, rectifying, and analysing unexpected Azure cost events to minimize their impact on the business.

In today’s digitally-driven world, organizations rely heavily on software applications to streamline services, provide operations, engage customers, and drive innovation through digital transformation. Software has also become the lynchpin for securing an entire business’ services and keeping them up and running. Yet, this omnipresent force comes with its own set of challenges.

CPU usage is one of the most common metrics used in observability and cloud computing. It’s for a good reason: CPU usage represents the amount of work a system is performing, and if it’s near 100% capacity, adding more work could make the system unstable. The solution is to scale - add more hosts with more CPU capacity, migrate some of your workloads to the new host, and split the traffic between them using a load balancer.

If you’ve been keeping up on what’s buzzing in the IT operations and software development space in the past few years, then you know that the concepts of AIOps and observability have been getting a lot of attention. And while they are related, they each address a different aspect of managing and monitoring IT systems.

We have officially released the first version of the NeuVector UI Extension for Rancher! This release is an exciting first step for integrating NeuVector security monitoring and enforcement into the Rancher Manager UI. The security vision for SUSE and its enterprise container management (ECM) products has always been to enable easy deployment, monitoring and management of a secure cloud native stack.

Cloud cost management and FinOps best practices rely on getting as much meaningful data as possible into decision-makers’ hands. Without the ability to pull data from all your various cost sources, you cannot get 100% visibility into your cloud spend — let alone make decisions to optimize that spend.

Throughout the years, many users have asked us if it’s possible to only deploy to Upsun when a tag is pushed using a source code integration. The answer is: with our current source integrations, it's not—but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Upsun is based on Git and because of this, acts as a remote for your code repository.
