Recruiting talent to your organization is one thing, keeping said talent is a different beast. Everywhere Work has given the workforce an increased sense of power in choosing where and how they work. As a result, retaining employees has become a challenge for organizations. Research has shown that 31% of employees quit a job within the first six months and France experienced record-high turnover in 2021, with a rate of 24.20%.

Just about everything you interact with digitally is enabled by the cloud. Whether you’re doom-scrolling on Instagram, binge-watching on Netflix, ride-hailing on Uber, or downloading super-cool cloud podcasts (hint, hint) on Spotify, you’re using the cloud. But most people don’t have any idea what the cloud is, where it came from, or what we, as a species, spend on it.

For Amazon to survive, they needed the cloud. But they had to invent it — and creating the cloud meant overcoming obstacles fundamental to the nature of software development at the time.

An easy way to understand what the early cloud did is to think of it like a public utility. The same way buildings depend on a common set of utilities — gas, electricity, and water — software projects depend on a common set of services: compute, storage, and database. “Compute” refers to the power it takes to run the software.

Your Apache HTTP server access and error logs contain a wealth of actionable insights about potential server configuration and web application issues. The problem is that this information is hidden within millions of log messages, so you need analytics to efficiently extract these insights so you can respond to problems before they impact your users. Apache log analysis revolves around two activities: monitoring and troubleshooting.

DevOps teams are used to working with data that is spread out across lots of different systems and environments. In organizations that have achieved tight collaboration with security teams to transition to DevSecOps, this is even more true! Log management is part of how all these teams keep track of information and make vital business decisions. It’s important to take a moment to understand what is meant by log management.

Cyber crimes are expected to cost the world roughly $10.5 trillion per year by 2025, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. And these attacks don’t just cost money. Businesses impacted by these kinds of crimes can expect to experience not only financial losses but also loss of productivity, damage to their reputation, potential legal liabilities and more.

Faced with an important business decision? Do you have the data you need to make it? Odds are, you probably don’t. Or, if the data is captured somewhere, can you count on it being in one place and easily accessible? This is a common issue, easily solved by proper log management. This practice is vital for data-driven businesses, helping you maintain security, troubleshoot operations more quickly and enhance user experience.
