Software systems are increasingly complex. Applications can no longer simply be understood by examining their source code or relying on traditional monitoring methods. The interplay of distributed architectures, microservices, cloud-native environments, and massive data flows requires an increasingly critical approach: observability.

Relabeling is an important feature that allows users to modify metadata (labels) of scraped metrics before they ever make it to the database. As an example, some of your scrape targets may generate metric labels with underscores (_), and some of your targets may generate labels with hyphens (-). Relabeling allows you to make this consistent, making database queries easier to write.

Microsoft Teams has emerged as a cornerstone of modern workplace collaboration, offering a suite of tools designed to streamline communication and project management. Despite its widespread adoption, it’s crucial to acknowledge that no platform is without its limitations. Understanding these constraints is essential for organizations to navigate potential roadblocks effectively and make informed decisions about their communication infrastructure.

In Part 1 of this blog series, I proposed that closed-loop orchestration (CLO) is a data management problem. Data extends beyond your medical history, social media, and other PII in the digital world. Configurations, inventories, and monitoring systems are based on managing, interpreting, and actioning data. CLO is a workflow about manipulating the data around the target environments. Even the policies and constraints need to be expressed as data.

Since its initial release in 2010, Elasticsearch has grown into the most popular enterprise search engine with use cases that range from web crawling and website search to application performance monitoring and security log analytics. But despite its widespread adoption and success, Elasticsearch does have some notable disadvantages that you should consider - especially if you’re envisioning a high-scale deployment with a large amount of daily ingestion.

If you missed KubeCon North America 2023 in Chicago, or you were there and spent more time in the “hallway tracks,” you may have missed some of the big news that came out of the show. We covered the big happenings in the open source cloud native and observability realm in the latest episode of OpenObservability Talks!

In a traditional DevOps implementation, you automate the build, test, release, and deploy process by setting up a CI/CD workflow that runs whenever a change is committed to a code repository. This approach is also useful in MLOps: If you make changes to your machine learning logic in your code, it can trigger your workflow. But what about changes that happen outside of your code repository?

With automation and CI/CD practices, the entire AI workflow can be run and monitored efficiently, often by a single expert. Still, running AI/ML on GPU instances has its challenges. This tutorial shows you how to meet those challenges using the control and flexibility of CircleCI runners combined with Scaleway, a powerful cloud ecosystem for building, training, and deploying applications at scale.
