Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) are crucial for maintaining software security and supply chain transparency. They provide a detailed list of all components, libraries, and dependencies within a software application, enabling organizations to identify and address potential vulnerabilities, license compliance issues, and other risks. By generating and tracking SBOMs in Kosli, you can establish a centralized and auditable repository for your software’s supply chain information. This allows you to.

For those deep in the day-to-day operations of a data center, the value of a modern Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution is often clear. It helps improve capacity planning, uptime, energy efficiency, and the productivity of people. Data center professionals understand this, and most would love to have DCIM software that simplifies their jobs and helps them deliver better results. But for leadership who controls the budget, the benefits of DCIM software aren’t always so obvious.

Within the realms of microservices and distributed systems, gRPC has emerged as a cornerstone technology. Its adoption by tech giants like Google, Netflix, and Square underscores its capability to facilitate high-performance, scalable inter-service communication. Built as a modern take on the traditional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) paradigm, gRPC enables services, potentially written in different languages, to communicate efficiently and reliably across networks.

The SQL Server PowerShell module is a set of tools that enable the use of PowerShell for SQL Server instances, databases, and objects.

As businesses increasingly transition to cloud-based services, the demand for data center resources has surged, leading to higher electricity consumption. Currently, data centers contribute to about 3% of global carbon emissions and account for roughly 1-1.5% of global electricity demand. As a result, the need for sustainable solutions in cloud computing has never been more urgent.

Over the last few years, Google Cloud has grown at the fastest rate of any cloud service provider today. From 2020 to 2021, Google Cloud’s IaaS offering, GCP, grew 64%, followed by Microsoft Azure (51%) and Alibaba Cloud (42%), according to Gartner. Yet Google Cloud isn’t flawless. Here’s what we mean and some of the top Google Cloud alternatives you’ll want to consider today.

Databricks is a critical part of many organizations’ tech stacks, facilitating analytics, machine learning, and other leading-edge data engineering tasks. But when a service like Databricks becomes essential, it also tends to become a cost black hole, leading engineering teams to a quandary: How can you keep Databricks costs in check without hurting application performance? At CloudZero, we give organizations unparalleled visibility into their Databricks costs.

Most cloud infrastructure and deployment misconfigurations start innocently enough: a dev under pressure to ship quickly tweaks a configuration file or adjusts a permission setting to make something work. It's not malicious and it might even be well thought out, but these small changes can cause a cascade of reactions that bring down production in seconds.

Effective vulnerability management has become a growing priority for organizations. Aided in part by AI, threats and vulnerabilities grow in speed and sophistication while IT environments become more complex. The skill gap for cybersecurity keeps widening (further worsened by a sprawling toolkit), exposing critical systems to exploitation. Managing secure infrastructure manually just isn’t possible at the scale and speed today’s enterprises demand.
