In the world of datacenter management, it’s not uncommon to encounter a complex maze of networks and servers. Over time, these environments can become fragmented and difficult to navigate, making it challenging to maintain a comprehensive inventory of your IT assets.

Today, almost 90% of organizations use cloud computing services to reduce their operating expenses and scale with changing business requirements. With the adoption of cloud computing technology, businesses are able to operate better and more efficiently. However, the whole process of cloud computing demands access to a wide range of data center resources for processing, storing, and providing services. This requirement can indirectly affect our cloud computing expenses.

Cloud computing, which is the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence, and more over the internet, has completely transformed the technology landscape in what seems like a heartbeat. Cloud computing provides an alternative to the traditional data center.

Network Address Translation Gateway or NAT Gateway is a managed service provided by Amazon Web Services(AWS) that allows instances in a private Subnet within a Virtual Private Cloud(VPC) to connect services outside the VPC. NAT ensures that even though your instances can connect to the outside world, outside services can’t establish a direct connection with them. It’s a tool that secures the instances, simplifies network architecture, and reduces administrative overhead.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing, Azure stands out as a powerhouse for businesses seeking scalable, reliable, and efficient solutions. One of the fundamental aspects of Azure’s appeal is its vast array of resources catering to diverse needs. Azure offers a rich ecosystem of resources, ranging from virtual machines (VMs) and storage accounts to databases, networking components, and beyond.

In the last years, Kubernetes has grown tremendously and is considered by most companies to be the best platform to run applications today. In simple words, Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that allows you to run and manage containerized applications at scale. In this article, I will explain how you can run Kubernetes on AWS in 3 different ways. But before getting down the road, let me explain why it does make sense to run Kubernetes on AWS.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles…OK, OK, OK, for any of you that read My Five Favourite Things to Automate blog know where I’m going with this, so I’ll save you the rest. Instead, let’s get stuck into what brings us here today: Cloud Commander. Prior to its launch I worked with partners previewing the product, and seeing first-hand how it can have a significant impact on anyone responsible for managing Microsoft 365, Azure, and Intune environments.

As a cloud cost intelligence solution, we often get asked where we fit in the cloud cost universe — and whether or not we’re an alternative to CloudHealth. The short answer is: it depends. The landscape of cloud cost tools is busy, with lots of different solutions that take different approaches to helping companies optimize their cloud costs. To help answer this question, we thought we’d lay out the cloud cost landscape as we see it.

Many articles that you may find on the web discuss the importance of reducing Azure costs by identifying and removing unused resources. Still, they often fall short of providing practical methods to achieve this. However, Turbo360 has introduced a new feature that simplifies identifying idle or unattached Azure VM disks, eliminating the need for complex queries or PowerShell scripts.
