Modern applications are increasingly built using containers and microservices packed with their dependencies and configurations. Kubernetes is open-source software for deploying and managing those containers at scale—and it is also the Greek word for helmsmen of a ship or pilot. Monitoring the health and performance of your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster is critical to ensure that your applications are up and running as expected.

Are you looking to monitor the performance of your IIS web server? This guide will break down everything you need to know about monitoring and troubleshooting Microsoft’s popular web server. IIS performance monitoring helps you to proactively monitor the health of your IIS web server by collecting logs, traces, and metrics of the application performance and the underlying IT infrastructure.

Many believe we’re either in a recession or on the brink of one. It’s a familiar cycle: high inflation, international strife, supply chain challenges, and tightening monetary policies are all driving fears of a downturn. While the IT industry has exceeded expectations for the past few years, it isn’t immune to a recession. As a result, many IT MSPs are thinking about what they can do to ensure a recession-proof business over the next year and beyond.

CrowdSec is an open-source software that allows you to detect peers with malicious behaviors and block them from accessing your systems. It benefits from a global community-wide IP reputation database. Attckers can then be prevented from accessing your resources by deploying bouncers. They are in charge of acting upon actors that triggered alerts: they can block the attacking IP, serve a 403 Forbidden response, and much more.

In the observability toolchain, all of our efforts go into data storage and analysis, and the usability of our system becomes a second-class citizen. Autocomplete is a crucial usability feature that significantly improves the developer experience. It is ubiquitous amongst engineering tools from IDEs to CLIs. Autocomplete has long been a feature of many observability tools, but they all miss a crucial detail – optimizing for developer productivity.

Search is the key to improving the customer experience–and business outcomes Retailers that weathered the global pandemic now face new challenges: emerging shopping patterns, competitive upstarts, and economic uncertainty.

In this era where applications are taking over the world, delivering the service to your customer with scalability and security is of the utmost importance. The software delivery platform helps to manage the data flow, traffic management, and security of the data from both sides of the application. If you are studying software delivery platforms, then most of you must have heard about the Codefresh software delivery platform for continuous integration and continuous deployment of the application.

In my previous blog, I discussed how continuous observability can be used to deliver continuous reliability. We also discussed the problem of high change failure rates in most enterprises, and how teams fail to proactively address failure risk before changes go into production. This is because manual assessment of change risk is both labor intensive and time consuming, and often contributes to deployment and release delays.

Alerting infrastructure is often complex, with many pieces of the pipeline that often live in different places. Scaling this across many teams and organizations is an especially challenging task. As organizations grow in size, the observability component tends to grow along with it. For example, you may have many components, each of which needs a different set of alerts. You may have several teams, each with a different channel where notifications should be delivered.
