Automatically Create Incidents from Alerts with Alert Routing

Shouldn’t your alerts be doing more of the work for you? A noisy channel with every alert from hundreds of monitors and microservices is a chaotic place to actually find the incidents that are impacting your customers. And it still requires a heck of a lot of human intervention. We think it’s time for something better. Today we’re releasing Alert Routing: the next phase of worry-free automation from FireHydrant.

Canonical joins the confidential computing consortium

Canonical is committed to enabling Ubuntu users to leverage the strong run-time confidentiality and integrity guarantees that confidential computing provides. That is why we are happy to announce we have joined the confidential computing consortium, a project community at the Linux Foundation that is focused on accelerating the adoption of confidential computing and driving cross-industry collaboration around relevant open source software, standards and tools.

What is Azure Blob Hot Tier Storage?

Microsoft Azure Blob Storage is a scalable, cost-effective, and high-performance cloud storage solution that enables businesses to store massive amounts of unstructured data. With Azure Blob Storage, users can access and manipulate data from anywhere in the world through the Azure Storage REST API or the Storage Client Library. One of the key considerations when using Azure Blob Storage is the choice of storage tier, as it significantly affects cost and performance.

Avoid kubernetes security risks with hardening best practices

Hardening a system is synonymous with reducing its attack surface: remove unnecessary software packages, lock down default values to the tightest possible settings and configure the system to only run what you explicitly require. Why would you want to harden your infrastructure and systems to start with? Isn’t Linux secure enough already? A fully secure system is made up of many layers, from the hardware to the operating system and the application servers running your mission-critical code.

Avoid Downtime with Azure VM Disk Space Alerts: Best Practices

The emergence of cloud computing has led to the rise of independently deployable components that increase the availability of the application. As many organizations move their infrastructure to the cloud, it becomes essential for them to have an Azure VM monitoring tool to process, store, scale, and maintain their applications.

Platform Engineering Is the Future of Ops

Ops and DevOps roles as we know them are on their way to becoming extinct—the future is platform engineering. While DevOps engineers typically focus on the application layer, platform engineers focus on the underlying infrastructure layer. Without a solid and reliable platform, it can be challenging to deploy and maintain software applications effectively. This can result in downtime, poor performance, and security vulnerabilities. Platform engineering enables software applications and services to run effectively and efficiently and has a direct impact on the user experience and the success of the entire organization.
