Amazon S3 is an object storage service widely used for storing many different types of data in the cloud. While it’s inexpensive and easy to set up and maintain S3 buckets, it’s also very easy to overlook S3 security aspects and expose them to malicious attacks. A typical example is accidentally allowing public access to S3 files. Several recent high-profile data breaches were caused by lax S3 security.
Kubernetes (K8s) is a prevalent open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. However, maintaining the service can be difficult and expensive. For that reason, it is easy to find platforms offering Kubernetes as a managed service. In this article, we will analyze three of the most popular services currently available: Google Kubernetes Engine, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes.
2019 continues to be a great year for ManageEngine accolades. This time, we are proud to announce that we’ve been named a May 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Network Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics Software. The consistent performance of our network performance monitoring (NPM) solutions—OpManager, NetFlow Analyzer, and Network Configuration Manager—has been the driving force behind this recognition.
Metrics are the lifeblood of every data-driven decision. Question after question on forums like Reddit, Stack Overflow and other IT communities ask which metrics teams should focus on for improving website speed and end-user experience. There’s a push in web development circles to focus on Time to First Byte (TTFB) to measure and improve website speed. But every viewpoint has its opposition.
An emerging use case for containerized platforms has been the ability to deploy applications in what is termed as an air-gapped deployment. This deployment pattern is particularly pronounced around edge computing (more on that later in the blog series) – though there exist significant differences between edge clusters and air-gapped deployments. Air-gapped applications are those that run isolated from datacenter or internet connectivity.

The accelerating pace of technological change is the most disruptive force affecting the financial services industry today, with fintech disruptors making significant headway across every segment across the sector—including banking, payments, lending, insurance, and trading.
When it comes to cloud strategy, companies rank “cutting costs” as their top priority for 2019, according to a recent Datamation survey. That’s not to say that they plan to cut back on cloud spending in general; in fact, those budgets are very much expected to grow. Rather, companies are looking for ways to reduce unnecessary costs and optimize cloud spend.
Access to observability is becoming critical to organizations shipping software, running modern infrastructures in production, and to understanding how users are experiencing their service. To achieve success in delivering a complex service, it’s no longer optional to instrument for real visibility and ease of troubleshooting, to optimize alerting to enable a focused response, to do what is needed to drive toward real understanding and ownership of the code we deliver.
