How To Unlock Granular Kubernetes Cost Metrics

Oct 28, 2022 By CloudZero In CloudZero

It can be a challenge to measure costs within a SaaS company. While a business with physical inventory can count the number of items sitting on the shelf and the money needed to create, store, and ship those items, operating within the cloud means SaaS companies have to measure their costs through a layer of abstraction. The number of users a given product supports and the resources needed to keep that product up and running could change by the minute.

Preventing PII in Test environments

Oct 28, 2022 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale

Data privacy and security are a top concern for most organizations. It’s easy to see why given changes over the past few years. These types of protections can be great for us as consumers. However, they also make it extremely difficult to create realistic production simulations in pre-production. It’s hard to rapidly develop new applications if you can’t iterate against realistic data.

Network automation tools and their importance in today's networks

Oct 27, 2022 By ManageEngine In ManageEngine

A network, as we all know, is the linking of two or more devices for resource sharing, file exchanging, or electronic communication. In a huge network organization consisting of more than 10,000 devices, managing every device manually is a hectic task and near impossible for network admins. To overcome this challenge, a software-based feature known as network automation was invented. The main purpose of network automation is to automate tasks and reduce both the workload and human errors. This automation works through a network automation tool.

It's almost Halloween, and we have a spooky and scary story for you. Don’t jump out of your seat, but did you know that most data centers are haunted and overrun by the undead? That’s right.
