As we enter a critical period in the effort to mitigate climate change, organizations are facing mounting regulatory pressure—along with a biological imperative—to reduce their carbon footprint. And for those that maintain significant on-prem infrastructure, energy costs associated with operating hardware components can significantly affect their bottom line.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is an isolated and secure virtual network in which you can deploy resources, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances, while restricting their exposure to the internet. As part of your monitoring strategy, you can collect and analyze VPC flow logs, which record network traffic flow between VPC components.

As your products and client base scale, maintaining effective test suites and providing rapid response to user-facing issues becomes increasingly challenging. Without thorough testing, bugs are more likely to go undetected, which creates poor user experiences and slower release cycles. LambdaTest is a cloud-based platform that supports real-time and automated testing for over 3,000 browsers, real devices, and operating systems.

Many organizations use Kubernetes to orchestrate their containerized applications. But because Kubernetes is complex, application developers may take some time to ramp up on the intricacies of monitoring a Kubernetes environment. This means that teams often need to create internal documentation and offer hands-on training to bridge the knowledge gap.

As organizations continue to expand their cloud footprint, managing costs without risking application performance is a priority. Because of this, Arm processors have become popular for their efficient, cost-effective processing power. Microsoft Azure’s new series of Azure Virtual Machines are powered by Ampere Altra Arm-based processors, which provide excellent price performance for scale-out and cloud-native workloads.
