With artificial intelligence and machine learning in the news of late, what might they mean for cloud computing? Michael Vitale explains how we’re positioning these technologies to benefit our customers.

A few months ago, I wrote an article about a serious outage of Azure and how eG Enterprise enabled us and our customers to understand the issue long before Microsoft had confirmed the issue and updated their service status pages.

Is an on-premises or cloud infrastructure better for your business? It depends. Here’s how to make an informed decision. In the world of technology, there is often a tendency to fall into the trap of “shiny object syndrome” — when we assume newer must mean better. But if that’s the case for cloud environments, could it spell the end of on-premises infrastructures? Cloud computing adoption has become synonymous with modernizing IT infrastructures.

When it comes to deploying web applications, two popular options are Heroku and AWS Elastic Beanstalk. While both services aim to simplify the deployment process, they differ in several key areas. In this article, we'll compare Heroku and AWS Elastic Beanstalk and discuss the pros and cons of each service.

During MWC 2019, we first announced project Spire. Project Spire was the codename for our Cloudify edge strategy. It was designed primarily for handling orchestration at extreme scale (10k sites, x millions of devices). The design was based on a unique distributed orchestration architecture as could be seen in the diagram below.

Since the very first version, Epinio has made use of an internal S3 endpoint to store the user’s projects in the form of aggregated tarballs. Those objects are then downloaded and staged by the internal engine’s pipeline and, finally, they are deployed into the Kubernetes cluster as consumable applications. Epinio makes use of S3 as an internal private service. In this scenario, S3 can be thought of as an internal ephemeral cache with the purpose of storing temporary objects.

Virtual machines (VMs) have been around for quite some time now and have become a cornerstone of modern-day IT infrastructure. They provide a convenient way to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine, allowing users to consolidate their hardware and save costs. However, as VM technology has evolved, newer versions of VMs have been introduced, such as generation 1 and generation 2 VMs.
