A multi-cloud strategy has become the status quo for many organisations. It provides access to the broadest range of cloud services and best-of-breed technologies, along with a reduced risk of vendor lock-in. As a result, most organisations will use a number of the most popular service options alongside more niche or localised offerings.

Lots of organizations do not get the expected result they want from their asset management system. They start thinking that this software is not good for them.

It is crucial for understanding what exactly your organization’s requirements are and what problem you want to solve with this software. After that, one should do asset management planning before purchasing asset management software!

Artificial intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) encompasses technologies that augment human decision-making with autonomous decision-making driven by AI and ML technologies that learn patterns and relationships from underlying datasets.

Google Fonts is a fantastic tool for web designers and developers, but it is sometimes one of the slowest resources on your website. It’s frustrating and ironic that Google’s own font service is the long pole in so many web performance reports, but it doesn’t have to be!

The latest Jaeger v1.35 release introduced the ability to receive OpenTelemetry trace data via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), which all OpenTelemetry SDKs are required to support. This is a follow-up to the previous announcement to retire Jaeger’s “classic” client libraries. With this new capability, it is no longer necessary to use the Jaeger exporters with the OpenTelemetry SDKs, or to run the OpenTelemetry Collector in front of the Jaeger backend.

If you’re part of a design team, chances are that you have at times experienced slow-paced product development coupled with a long dev backlog (with limited space for additional tickets from the UX team). But to optimize how the product team (whether PO, UI, UX, or frontend devs) work together, it helps to experiment with useful tools, physical boards, and new processes. For example, here is an exhaustive yet simple UX project checklist.

Product roadmap templates make it easy to structure and communicate your product plans.

Routing problems tend to emerge when you’re first setting up a new piece of network equipment, and when something has failed.

Being at the helm of a project is both exciting and scary! If you jump straight into it without a good plan you run the risk of your voyage ending in a shipwreck.

Yes, as a project manager, it sounds tempting to just go with the flow and wing it, but the dangers of not sticking to a project plan are many.

Multi cloud has long been a contentious topic when you talk about cloud infrastructure. Infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform and Pulumi have made deploying to any cloud much easier - you can now use a single interface to deploy infrastructure to virtually any cloud environment. However, the effort of creating infrastructure for each cloud provider still requires significant expertise and time to get right, leading many to see it as a effort not worth taking.
