Megaport and AWS explore how Network as a Service (NaaS) transforms WAN design with cloud-native agility, on-demand provisioning, and GenAI-ready flexibility. Co-authored by: Rishi Katdare, Leader – AWS Core Networking & GTM, AWS Mokshith Kumar, Sr. GTM Specialist Solutions Architect – AWS Core Networking, AWS As enterprise architectures grow more distributed and cloud-native, traditional methods of building and managing Wide Area Networks (WANs) are reaching their limits.

It’s 3 AM. Your phone screams. You stumble to your laptop, eyes half-closed, wondering the same question every SRE has asked mid-incident.

Private cloud infrastructure adoption is accelerating rapidly. This move is driven by the ongoing “cloud reset” as leaders rethink their hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, seeking greater control, security, and flexibility for their IT workloads. As a matter of fact, leaders in 69% of organizations are considering repatriating workloads, and one-third already have.

If you’re working with metrics in Grafana Cloud, chances are you’ve come across DPM (data points per minute). It shows up in usage dashboards, invoice breakdowns, and occasionally pops up in Slack when your ingestion numbers start looking suspicious. DPM can also be seen in the Grafana Cloud billing and usage dashboard, which is available by default in every Grafana Cloud account. It helps you understand how much data you’re sending—and whether it’s more than you need.

Infrastructure management isn't about taking sides. Too often, teams get pulled into “X is better than Y” debates that miss the bigger picture: your compute stack should serve your needs, not industry hype. A common decision point in the past has been the choice between bare metal or cloud hyperscalar virtualization. Nowadays, the answer isn't 1 or 0.

Across the Asia Pacific region significant investment is going into new subsea cable infrastructure that will help sustain the long-term demand for AI. We’ve written a lot on this blog about the impact of AI on networks and how AI workloads require low latency, high-capacity data transfer. This in turn puts more pressure on existing network infrastructure and in particular subsea cable systems - which provide the global backbone for cloud platforms and data centres.

In modern software development, different environments often have different compliance requirements. Your development environment might allow more flexibility, while production demands strict controls around security scans, testing, and code review. Environment Policy helps you codify these requirements and enforce them consistently.

OpenSearch is a powerful, scalable search and analytics engine that can do amazing things for logging, observability, and full-text search. But like any distributed system, it only performs well if you keep it properly tuned and healthy. Ignore it, and you risk slower queries, higher costs, and even data loss. Here are five practical tips to keep your OpenSearch cluster running smoothly and efficiently.
