Removing decommissioned clusters from Icinga for Kubernetes

Clusters get retired. A test cluster is torn down, a workload moves to a new environment, a provider contract ends. Icinga for Kubernetes does not know about any of that.

Monitor Oracle AI Database across clouds with Datadog

Organizations can use Oracle AI Database@AWS, Oracle AI Database@Azure, and Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud to run Oracle databases co-located with the cloud applications they support rather than managing the databases on premises.

Scaling A/B testing to hundreds of experiments across dozens of teams is harder, because teams may make different decisions about metrics, randomization, rollout, and analysis. Experiment protocols in Datadog Experiments turn an approved methodology into a reusable configuration, giving experiments of the same type a consistent starting point. In this post, you’ll learn how to.
