Content delivery networks (CDNs) such as Amazon CloudFront generate a flood of log files. In today's world where your customers are all around the globe, it's important to make sure that your websites' application assets are as close to the users as possible.

If you're familiar with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), you already know how defining your infrastructure in declarative files can streamline deployments, reduce errors, and foster reproducibility. Environment as Code (EaaC) takes this concept further. Instead of just defining virtual machines, networks, and storage, EaaC encapsulates the entire environment-including services, configurations, and dependencies-so you can spin up, manage, and tear down complete environments easily. Think of EaaC as the next level of IaC.

Businesses must always be prepared to handle unexpected disruptions. Whether it's a cybersecurity breach, a system outage, or a natural disaster, an efficient Incident Management Team is crucial for minimizing damage and restoring normal operations quickly. This specialized team ensures that incidents are identified, assessed, and resolved in a structured and efficient manner, safeguarding business continuity and customer trust.

Cloud Foundry is possibly the most popular environment on SAP Business Technology Platform. When customers build applications with the SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) framework to extend SAP S/4HANA solutions and achieve a clean core, they typically deploy using Cloud Foundry. After the applications on Cloud Foundry go into productive use, they become business critical and that creates a need for observability in those applications and the platform. Monitoring of Cloud Foundry is now an essential requirement of SAP operations teams.
