Scorecards are a Cortex feature that allow you to understand how well your services are doing on the metrics you care about. Scorecards are customizable to your needs, however several are common to most organizations. In our previous post, we shared the top three scorecards that we recommend to Cortex customers. Security maturity is one of the first scorecards we recommend organizations create.

Today we’re announcing the general availability of Icinga Certificate Monitoring in version 1.3.0. You can find all issues related to this release on our Roadmap. Please also refer to the corresponding upgrade section in the documentation.

Organizations that invest in cloud technologies like Microsoft Azure might notice that cloud costs can easily get out of control. When cloud services use the Pay-as-you-go payment model, small amounts must be paid each time a cloud service is used. However, when you have deployed hundreds of cloud resources, the total spending can end up with a much higher monthly bill than expected. By optimizing your cloud costs, you lower your monthly Azure bill and gain cost efficiency and predictability.

In an exclusive Digitalisation World podcast, our CEO, Jad Jebara, delves deep into the ever-evolving hybrid infrastructure landscape. Join us as we explore how companies are strategically optimizing application performance and the infrastructure that fuels their digital ambitions.

Organizations must always be ready to pivot on a dime and adjust their business goals when the market—or their customers—demand it. Whether driven by industry changes or developments in market trends, when goals shift at the top, the teams who execute against them must follow suit. Since network infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex to fit business needs, IT teams are part of these initiatives.

In this second episode, we explore a crucial element of your migration strategy - the Application Owner Interviews, a feature within Tidal Accelerator. These interviews are a game-changer, helping you make your migration not just IT-efficient but also business-driven.

Let me tell you something you already know: Networks are more complex than ever. They are massive. They are confounding. Modern networks are obtuse superorganisms of switches, routers, containers, and overlays; a hodgepodge of telemetry from AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and sprawling infrastructure that spans more than a dozen timezones.

Kubernetes offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability for containerized orchestration. However, this dynamism can also lead to unexpected costs if you don’t efficiently manage your corresponding cloud resources. In this blog, we’ll outline a series of best practices for Kubernetes cost optimization that will help you keep your infrastructure running smoothly while staying within your budget.

The rapid evolution of technology profoundly impacts network infrastructure monitoring. New technologies such as containerization, microservices, and serverless computing introduce complexities that require monitoring solutions to adapt. The shift to DevOps practices, where development and operations teams collaborate closely, emphasizes the need for real-time monitoring and feedback loops to ensure continuous integration and delivery of applications and services.
