In an earlier blog post, we had discussed how server performance monitoring is not just about monitoring CPU, memory, and disk resources anymore. There is more to server performance monitoring than just three resources or metrics. That blog post covered several key performance indicators (KPIs) that IT teams must track to ensure that their servers are performing well. In this blog post, we focus on another KPI – server uptime.

Before continuous integration came to be, setting up builds was no fun because the complexity and overhead involved in a release cycle was compounded by inflexible, manual processes. The release cycle was slow and often resulted in breaking changes. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) has changed much of that through pipelines that automate how we build and test software—today, we can deploy, have builds fail, and resolve any errors faster than ever.

Over the last couple years, cloud transformation has become increasingly critical, evolving from a preferable priority to an urgent imperative. In our rapidly changing world, organizations have had to innovate at unprecedented rates — and those most successful are harnessing the power of cloud to move faster and smarter.
