Managing cloud infrastructure is challenging enough without adding the burden of deploying and maintaining monitoring agents. What if there was a simpler, more efficient way to monitor your virtual machines (VMs)? In the first part of this series, we looked at the (link) and presented a better solution: agentless monitoring. Agentless monitoring is an efficient approach to observability that eliminates the need to install and manage software agents on each monitored device.

Imagine discovering that 40% of your cloud infrastructure went unmonitored for a week because monitoring agents failed to deploy during an auto-scaling event. This scenario isn’t just hypothetical—it’s a growing reality for organizations relying on traditional agent-based monitoring in dynamic cloud environments.

When you’re spending close to $8 million for a 30-second Super Bowl ad, the one thing you don’t want to leave to chance is your website—especially when millions of viewers, whether they came for the game, Kendrick Lamar, or to catch a glimpse of Taylor Swift in the stands, might head there right after the spot airs. Make no mistake: web performance is just as critical as the ad itself.

Data is the lifeblood of every business, but most of it is underutilized, buried under high costs and complex schema management. Simply funneling data into an analysis platform or cheap storage isn’t enough. Data deserves better.

The days when an antivirus and common sense were enough to guarantee an organization’s cybersecurity are long gone. Especially if you work in a critical sector. That’s why the NIS2 Directive (2022/2555) of the European Union establishes cybersecurity obligations for these key activities… and the consequences of non-compliance. These consequences are significant, so let’s analyze the regulation, when it applies, and how to implement it.

We all know that Checkly is a ‘secret weapon’ for engineering teams who want to shorten their mean time to detection (MTTD). With Checkly, you can know within minutes if your service is unavailable for users, or acting unexpectedly. In this article we’ll talk about how Checkly traces can help you expand on the benefits of Checkly, adding insights that will help you diagnose root causes, and further reduce your mean time to resolution (MTTR) for outages and other incidents.

In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is leaping forward — growing at a CAGR of almost 36% from 2024 to 2030 — questions about governance and ethics with the use of AI are surfacing. As humans continue to develop AI systems, it is crucial to establish proper guidelines to ensure powerful technologies like generative AI and adaptive AI are used in a responsible manner.
