The FDNY EMS Command responds to more than 4,000 calls per day. They range from car accidents to building fires to cats stuck in trees, and responses vary accordingly. Sometimes they might take hours, sometimes they take just a few minutes. With such unpredictable conditions, the FDNY focuses on improving what they call “response time.” That’s the amount of time between a 911 call being made and emergency responders arriving on the scene. This might sound familiar.

Netdata provides a comprehensive set of charts that can help you understand the workload, performance, utilization, saturation, latency, responsiveness, and maintenance activities of your disks. In this blog we will focus on monitoring disks as block devices, not as filesystems or mount points. The Disks section in the Overview tab contains all the charts that are mentioned in this blog post.

Scalability is crucial for monitoring systems as it ensures that they can accommodate growth, maintain performance, provide flexibility, optimize costs, enhance fault tolerance, and support informed decision-making, all of which are critical for effective infrastructure management.

If you're accustomed to running software in production, you know that every minute counts when there's a disruption. However, not every issue is obvious enough to immediately find and remediate. That can be a big obstacle to overcome, which is where StackState's Kubernetes remediation guides come into play. They contain expert knowledge that guides you step by step to understand the issue, enabling swift remediation.

We're excited to announce the launch of project-level branch restrictions. This feature is part of our efforts to help teams manage code at scale.

There are numerous instances where a single buildpack falls short in app building, for instance when working on a NodeJS app with a PHP backend. We are thrilled to announce the global and immediate availability of Multi-Buildpacks for all app sizes, including our Free tier. The Multi-Buildpack feature allows you to: Alongside the introduction of multi-buildpacks, we're expanding support for Add-on buildpacks (such as APT, Static, or the newly introduced FFmpeg buildpacks).

We’ve all read the headlines about spectacular data breaches and other security incidents, and the impact that they have had on the victim organisations. From LastPass to SolarWinds, “data security” seems to be the phrase on the lips of every CTO these days. And in some ways there’s no place more vulnerable to attack than a big data environment like a data lake.

The PodSecurityPolicy API, initially deprecated in Kubernetes v1.21, was entirely removed in Kubernetes v1.25. Because the API was removed, you cannot create, edit or query PodSecurityPolicy resources in a Kubernetes v1.25 cluster. Also, because its admission controller was removed, your clusters can no longer enforce any PodSecurityPolicy rules that were created in Kubernetes v1.24 and prior.

Many people think cloud migrations are a binary decision: either lift-and-shift or completely modernize applications. However, the reality is that there is a spectrum of transition types available, each offering different levels of value.
