Monitor AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia with Datadog for holistic visibility into ML infrastructure

AWS Inferentia and AWS Trainium are purpose-built AI chips that—with the AWS Neuron SDK—are used to build and deploy generative AI models. As models increasingly require a larger number of accelerated compute instances, observability plays a critical role in ML operations, empowering users to improve performance, diagnose and fix failures, and optimize resource utilization.

AWS Lambda Demystified: How It Works, Pros And Cons, And Pricing

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers over 200 services. But, AWS Lambda continues to stand out for several reasons. This AWS Lambda tutorial will help explain Lambda in simple terms so you can decide if the service suits your computing needs. We’ll cover AWS Lambda, how it works, how it compares to EC2, use cases, benefits, limitations, and more. Additionally, we’ll cover how you can monitor and manage your Lambda costs without the burden of cost management.

Gain comprehensive visibility into your ECS applications with the ECS Explorer

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a container orchestration service that enables you to efficiently deploy new applications or modernize existing ones by migrating them to a containerized environment. Building on ECS gives you the flexibility, scalability, and security that containers offer, but also presents challenges in monitoring and troubleshooting your applications and infrastructure.

Simplify operations across hybrid cloud with OpsRamp

According to IDC, 80% of organizations are running hybrid and multicloud environments, bringing new complexities and risks for IT leaders*. When it comes to operations, IT teams find it challenging to maintain visibility across cloud and on-prem systems, optimize more and more tools, and automate operations—all while ensuring cost efficiency and staying agile. Traditional approaches complicate things further, often leading to silos and inefficient resource use.

What is cloud-native automation and why is it important for telcos?

Automation. It’s not something most of us think about often, and that’s the whole idea. But automation plays a critical role in the IT world, especially for those who remember when software had to be updated manually. That importance takes on an added urgency when you consider next-generation telecommunications networks, as a cloud architecture brings with it layers of complexity that make automation a necessity.

How Are Cloud VPNs the Backbone of Secure Remote Access?

At a time when remote work and cloud-based solutions are shaping the business world, secure access to data has become essential. Cloud VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are central to this process, offering secure, scalable, and efficient solutions for remote access. Unlike traditional VPNs, which operate on-premises, Cloud VPNs integrate directly with cloud environments, making them indispensable for modern organizations reliant on cloud infrastructures and remote workforces.

"With great power..." what Spiderman can teach us about sustainable growth for the data centre sector

The Foundations of the Future report recently commissioned by techUK, and developed by Henham Strategy, raises many points for consideration. It is an important attempt at quantifying the UK’s data centre assets. As a sector, the UK data centre industry is worth £4.7 billion in Gross Value Added (GVA) annually, supporting 43,500 jobs and contributing £640 million in tax revenue to the exchequer.

ECS Vs. Kubernetes: A Detailed Guide To Container Solutions

Containers improve application development with portability, efficiency, and scalability while accelerating deployments. Amazon ECS and Kubernetes are two of the top choices for container orchestration, but how do they stack up against each other? In this guide, we’ll break down the key differences, helping you choose the right solution for your containerization needs.

How to query private network data without an agent using AWS and Grafana Cloud

Connecting to data sources in a private network or an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) can require extra attention to the network security configuration to prevent unintended network exposure. For example, if you wanted to query a network-secured data source, like a MySQL database or an Elasticsearch cluster, that is hosted in an on-premises private network, you would need to open your network to inbound queries from a range of IP addresses.
