We here at JFrog have long advocated for promoting – never rebuilding – release candidates as they advance across the stages of your SDLC. For many JFrog customers, that meant using JFrog’s “Build Promotion” capabilities. Now you can level up your CI/CD game with promotions using Release Lifecycle Management (RLM)! In this article we’ll show you why promotions with RLM are more simple, secure, and scalable than our legacy build promotion API.

As systems grow more distributed and complex, having a reliable way to monitor and understand what's happening across your infrastructure becomes essential. Telemetry data provides the visibility needed to keep everything running smoothly, whether you're managing microservices, cloud environments, or sophisticated AI systems. In this guide, we’ll break down what a telemetry data platform is, why it’s so important, and how you can choose the right one to meet your needs.

When working with Kubernetes, pods are the fundamental building blocks of deployment. But not all pods are created equal. Understanding the different types of pods and their use cases is crucial for optimizing workloads, ensuring reliability, and maintaining efficiency in your cluster. Let's break it all down.

Designing AWS architecture is a complex task. It requires careful planning; a deep understanding of cloud services; and the ability to balance performance, cost, security, and scalability. As organizations migrate to the cloud or expand their existing cloud infrastructure, they often face several challenges that can impact the success of their architecture. Once the architecture is deployed, effective cloud monitoring becomes critical to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Kubernetes has become the go-to platform for managing containerized applications, but its architecture can seem complex to DevOps teams. Let’s break it down into simple terms and explore how tools like Site24x7 can simplify the process of designing and monitoring Kubernetes architecture.

Cloud architecture diagrams play a crucial role in communication, planning, and execution within the realm of cloud computing. They provide a visual depiction of the infrastructure, highlighting the interconnections between different components and their collaborative functionality. In this guide, we will delve into the five fundamental factors that every cloud architect should consider when crafting a cloud infrastructure.

The Grafana Loki 3.4 release is here, and it brings a fresh wave of enhancements aimed at standardizing Loki’s object storage, helping you right size your instance, and improving the ability to ingest out-of-order logs. Loki 3.4 also represents the official merging of Promtail into Grafana Alloy as part of our efforts to give our users a single telemetry collector. There’s a lot to go over, so let’s dive in.

Managing and knowing where your cloud spend goes is nearly impossible without the right cloud cost management tools. Cloud-native, distributed technologies like microservices, containers, and Kubernetes can make it even more difficult to have full visibility into resource usage — and the associated costs. This cost information is also often buried in rows and columns of text on cloud providers’ bills. In addition, a lot of cloud cost management tools are clunky and inexact.
