Protect PII and add geolocation data: Monitoring legacy systems with Grafana

Legacy systems often present a challenge when you try to integrate them with modern monitoring tools, especially when they generate log files that contain personally identifiable information (PII) and IP addresses. Thankfully, Grafana Cloud, which is built to work with modern observability tools and data sources, makes it easy to monitor your legacy environments too.

Datadog On Reliability Engineering

There are many different ways to implement Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). From team structures to roles and responsibilities to planning and prioritization flows, there’s no golden path for how to organize things. As Datadog has shifted from a startup to a quickly-growing public company, we’ve seen our own SRE practice evolve. With over 22,000 customers sending trillions of data points each day, keeping Datadog reliable is critical to our business.

That's why it's crucial to take steps to prevent them from occurring in the first place. Enter Docker image security scanners.

Webinar on 'Evolution of Incident Management from On-Call to SRE' | Squadcast

This Incident Management has evolved considerably over the last decade, more so in the last few years. What was traditionally limited to having just an in-house on-call team and an alerting system, has now grown well beyond that to ensure Automation, Collaboration, Transparency, and Retrospection are deeply entrenched in Incident Response.

Site Reliability Engineer: Responsibilities, Roles and Salaries

DevOps gained popularity in order to combat siloed workflows, decreased collaboration and a lack of visibility across the software development lifecycle. While establishing a culture of DevOps has helped teams collaborate better and deliver reliable software faster, DevOps teams don’t necessarily have someone specifically dedicated to developing systems that increase site reliability and performance. That’s where a site reliability engineer (SRE) comes into the picture.

Strategies for Kubernetes Cluster Administrators: Understanding Pod Scheduling

However, as the complexity of a Kubernetes cluster grows, managing resources such as CPU and memory becomes more challenging. Efficient pod scheduling is critical to ensure optimal resource utilization and enable a stable and responsive environment for applications to run in.
