We're Joining The Snowflake Partner Network - Bringing Cloud Cost Intelligence

Early on in our journey as a company, CloudZero split with legacy data architecture, migrating to Snowflake and opening up a world of resource flexibility. With the centralized, limitless processing power that Snowflake provided, our team could focus more energy on value-added work, less on managing inefficiencies. With a rapidly expanding customer base, Snowflake allowed us to maintain peak velocity, scaling without running into storage-based slowdowns.

Top Benefits of Containerization For Your Startup

A container is an isolated unit of software running on top of an operating system. Containers are getting popular among startups because containerized applications are portable, have built-in scalability and fault tolerance, are more secure, and promote faster development cycles. That’s why startups prefer containers for new application development to gain a business advantage over competitors who are still using VMs for application deployment and packaging.

How to Test Microservices in Kubernetes

In this article, you will learn about some of the tools to test microservices running in a Kubernetes cluster. In particular, we will compare the Speedscale CLI tool with other tools and the main benefits of using Speedscale CLI. In the last few years, software companies have been shifting from building monolith applications to utilizing smaller microservices. In a microservices architecture, you operate with decentralized applications. This means that there's a separation in which each service is responsible for a specific component of your application.

A practical approach to Active Directory Domain Services, Part 6: FSMO roles in AD

Do new users created on one domain controller (DC) of an Active Directory (AD) environment, ever get erroneously deleted only after a few minutes by DCs of other sites within an AD forest? Do changes made in a particular AD site ever get rewritten by DCs in other sites? Can AD objects be erroneously identified? Can more than one AD user account, for example, with all its associated attributes, be a replica of another user account?

Use the Proxy Protocol to Preserve a Client's IP Address

In this blog post, you’ll learn how the Proxy Protocol preserves a client’s IP address when that client’s connection passes through a proxy. You will also find resources for how to integrate the protocol into your own proxy or web server software. What is the Proxy Protocol? It is a network protocol for preserving a client’s IP address when the client’s TCP connection passes through a proxy.

Docker image versus container: What are the differences?

If you are new to Docker, you may find it challenging to understand all the terms. It can seem like everyone has a different idea of what Docker terms mean, and sometimes, terms get used interchangeably. For instance, you — like others who are learning about Docker — may wonder how a Docker image differs from a Docker container. Their contrasts are subtle but significant.

Using Brotli Compression in NGINX

Brotli is gaining steam as the compression algorithm du jour for high performance websites. Created back in 2013 by Google to decrease the size of WOFF files, Brotli was standardized in 2016 as part of RFC 7932. The sales pitch for Brotli is better compression than Gzip - with similar CPU usage. Better compression leads to faster performance, but how much better is it?
