Prior to the pandemic, the notion of hybrid work was foreign and in most cases was for the “exceptional situation”. There used to be a small group of remote workers who weren’t near the office, and the road-warriors who were rarely in the office. On average though, working in the office was the norm. Beginning in 2020, there were headlines, articles, research, and statistics on how hybrid work is here to stay.

In recent years, Software-Defined WAN Technology (SD-WAN) has changed the way networking professionals secure, manage, and optimize connectivity. As organizations continue to implement cloud applications, conventional backhaul traffic processes are now inefficient and can cause security concerns. SD-WAN is a virtual architecture that enables organizations to use different combinations of transport services that can connect users to applications.

The path to production has long been a space of custom pipelines, continuous integration (CI) sprawl, manual intervention, and tribal knowledge. Surely, there must be a better way? Something loosely coupled, more flexible, less error-prone, and doesn’t need deep integration with the tooling it controls. These goals motivated us to create Cartographer, our open source supply chain choreographer.

Here's how to configure the OpenTelemetry Community Demo application to send telemetry data to AppDynamics Cloud.

For the last few years, many development teams have replaced traditional data centers with cloud-hosted infrastructure. Cloud adoption continues to grow, and teams are updating applications to leverage cloud-based services. But for many organizations, adopting a single cloud provider to host all their applications and data can put their business at risk. To reduce these risks, some organizations are distributing resources across multiple cloud providers in a specifically designed way.

Implementing integrations without a mountain of technical debt can be challenging. But it doesn’t have to be all bugs, burn out, and outages when shipping integrations at a high volume. We’ve unlocked a pattern at FireHydrant to rapidly build and release integrations without swiping the technical debt credit card each time — and that gave us a fastlane to building premier integrations.

Application development trends guide industries (tech and non-tech alike) toward a more cloud-native and distributed model with digital-first strategies. Many organizations are adopting new technologies and distributed workflows. Software development pipelines enable teams to collaborate efficiently and maintain productivity. However, organizations that were early to embrace modern application development strategies and tools, including containerization and multi-cloud environments.

Content Learning how to monitor the Kubernetes API server is crucial when running cloud-native applications in Kubernetes environments. The Kubernetes API server can be considered as the front end of the Kubernetes control plane. Any interaction or request from users or internal Kubernetes components with the control plane go through this component. Ensuring you monitor the Kubernetes API server properly is of vital importance to ensure your Kubernetes cluster works as expected.
