Autoscaling Checkly Private Location Agents in Kubernetes with KEDA

Monitoring load is not always steady. A team might add a new batch of checks or run several ad hoc tests during a rollout. When that happens, your Private Location agents need to pick up more work at once. If there aren’t enough agents available during a burst, checks start piling up in the queue, which can delay or disrupt check execution. But solving this by running a high number of agents around the clock has the opposite problem: most of that capacity sits idle until the next busy period.

ITSM Maturity Playbook Live, Episode 2 | The CMDB is Your Map

Join this 5-part series designed to help IT teams move from reactive, fragmented processes to a more structured, connected way of working. Each session focuses on a core area, from incident resolution and CMDB visibility to employee experience, service catalog design, and change governance, giving you practical frameworks you can apply right away. You’ll walk away with: Faster, more consistent incident resolution.

Any Apple update can break our app. Here's how we find out first.

This is a guest post by Dan Mindru, a Frontend Developer and Designer who is also the co-host of the Morning Maker Show. Dan is currently developing a number of applications including PageUI, Clobbr, and CronTool. It feels like with every release, we are walking a tightrope. We need to keep our app lightweight, stable, and performant, all the while depending on APIs that can shift at any moment (without warning, too!).

Self-Healing ITOps: Close the Loop From Detection to Resolution

Self-healing ITOps helps restore services faster by combining AI-driven analysis, automation, and recovery validation. Organizations have invested heavily in monitoring, observability, and AIOps. These platforms are effective at identifying issues, but incident resolution is often still a manual process. Engineers still need to investigate alerts, determine the appropriate remediation, and verify that services have recovered.

When One Agent Plans and Another Executes, the Planner's View Decides Everything

Split network operations into a planning agent and an executing agent and you have an elegant design on paper. One agent reasons about what should change and validates it. The other carries it out. The elegance is real, and so is the structural consequence: the split puts the entire weight of judgment on the planner. A plan built on a partial view, then executed precisely and at machine speed, is more dangerous than a cautious human who would have hesitated at the part that did not add up.

New in Skylar One - Kyoto: Better Context for Faster, More Confident IT Operations

Modern IT environments do not fail in neat, isolated ways. A network issue in one location can affect a business service somewhere else. A device alert may be the first sign of a larger dependency problem. And when teams are managing infrastructure across data centers, cloud, branches, campuses, and edge environments, the first challenge is often knowing where to look first. The issue is not alert volume alone. It is the missing context between telemetry, service impact, probable cause, and action.

What Is NetFlow, and How Does It Reveal Where Traffic Goes?

In this video, learn what NetFlow is and why it's one of the most effective technologies for understanding network traffic. Discover how NetFlow goes beyond basic bandwidth monitoring by showing who is using your network, what applications are consuming bandwidth, and how traffic patterns change over time. Whether you're a network administrator, IT operations engineer, or infrastructure manager, this video explains NetFlow in simple terms and shows how it helps identify bandwidth hogs, troubleshoot slow networks, and make smarter capacity planning decisions.
