Kubernetes has become the go-to platform for container orchestration, allowing teams to more efficiently manage their containerized applications. Vanilla Kubernetes, as well as managed Kubernetes, are the two options available when building up a Kubernetes system. A group of programmers using vanilla Kubernetes must download the source code files, follow the code route, and set up the machine's environment.

Titles within an organization evolve nearly as fast as the technology itself. For a long time, the title of DevOps was considered a literal interpretation of “Development” and “Operations” – a catch-all term for hybrid roles encapsulating everything from on-prem, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures, to code execution and lifecycle management. Sounds like a lot? It is.

AWS EC2 Monitoring- Guidance Report recommendations Getting visibility into your Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances is a challenge. Site24x7 enables you to enhance your visibility into AWS EC2 instances, consolidating all information in a unified location. You can replace the isolated monitoring approach for EC2 instances by combining instance metadata with system-level metrics. This allows for effective monitoring of your dynamic AWS EC2 environment.

Corey Dinkens and Carol Pereira contributed to this blog post. As enterprises deploy modern containerized applications to their Kubernetes clusters, managing data protection centrally is necessary to run critical business applications, especially in multi-cloud distributed environments.

In the ever-expanding landscape of Azure data management, two powerful tools emerge as essential assets for tech professionals: AzCopy and Azure File Sync. While each has its unique capabilities, together they create an intricate symphony that enhances data transfer and synchronization within Azure. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll unravel the functionalities of both, explore their common use cases, delve into their integration processes, and weigh their benefits and drawbacks.

In Part 1 of this series, we introduced you to the key metrics you should be monitoring to ensure that you get optimal performance from CoreDNS running in your Kubernetes clusters. In Part 2, we showed you some tools you can use to monitor CoreDNS. In this post, we’ll show you how you can use Datadog to monitor metrics, logs, and traces from CoreDNS alongside telemetry from the rest of your cluster, including the infrastructure it runs on.

Kubernetes liveness probes are a critical component for monitoring the health and availability of application containers running within a Kubernetes cluster. They allow Kubernetes to determine whether a container is running as expected and take appropriate actions if it is found to be unresponsive or in an unhealthy state. Liveness probes periodically check the health of containers by sending requests to a specified endpoint or executing a command within the container.

Gartner recently published its Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering, 2023, report. This blog reviews the future of site reliability engineering based on Gartner’s Hype Cycle. Additionally, the OnPage team is pleased that Gartner mentioned OnPage as a sample vendor in the Automated Incident Response category.

The scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of cloud-based applications are well known, but they’re not immune to performance issues. We’ve got some of the best practices for ensuring effective application performance in the cloud.

Since 2018, our annual State of Kubernetes survey has consistently found that organizations achieve significant operational benefits from using Kubernetes, especially “improved resource utilization.” This year, we wanted to understand how Kubernetes impacts the business as a whole. The results are unequivocal.
