Check our June 2023 health report on the top most popular cloud providers. We analyze the health of the cloud providers based on the number of outages and problems during the month. The source of the data is made available by the cloud providers themselves via their status page. We normalize it and use it to generate the report.
In the dynamic landscape of IT service management, ITSM, two concepts reign supreme - Incident Management and Problem Management. They might seem similar, and many use these terms interchangeably, but they serve distinct purposes. Through this article, we’ll navigate the nuanced differences between Incident Management and Problem Management, and apply these concepts in our own approach to incident management.
Next to the many checks we can perform, we can also render beautiful status pages to inform your audience about the health of your service. Today, we've deployed a redesign of these status pages. In this iteration, everything is more polished. We picked a new font and colors and added some icons to make the status page a bit more visually interesting. In addition to the cosmetic upgrade, we also added a significant new feature. We can now display 60 days of uptime history for your sites.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a systematic process designed to uncover the fundamental, underlying issues that lead to IT incidents.
