Recently we announced in our blog post, "The OpenTelemetry Tracing Specification Reaches 1.0.0!," that OpenTelemetry tracing specifications reached v1.0.0 — offering long-term stability guarantees for the tracing portion of the OpenTelemetry clients. Today we’re excited to share that the first of the language-specific APIs and SDKs have reached v1.0.0 starting with OpenTelemetry Java and OpenTelemetry .NET.

Have you ever used the term bandwidth? Probably. Have you ever used the term network throughput? Maybe. Have you used them interchangeably? Most likely. So let’s see where we get these mixed up. Namely, let’s look at the key differences between network throughput and bandwidth.

Cloud-native and serverless come hand in hand. One of the initial motivations to move business workflows to the cloud was related to cutting costs related to provisioning infrastructure and elasticity that on-demand allocation of resources is offering.

One of the advantages that Ubuntu brings to the cloud equation is improving an organization’s ability to run in multiple clouds. Running containers on top of Ubuntu further increases portability. Mist is an open-source multi-cloud management platform that helps teams centrally manage and control their Ubuntu instances across many different cloud environments and/or bare metal. This removes some of the operational and financial barriers to running applications in multiple clouds.

To keep up with today’s competitive landscape and with the new normal induced by the pandemic, organizations must modernize their ventures, instigate innovation and be more agile.

Gartner predicts that large enterprise exclusive use of AIOps and digital experience monitoring tools to monitor applications and infrastructure will rise from 5% in 2018 to 30% in 2023. And this prediction is soon turning into a reality. AIOps is showing promising business value as it impacts measurable metrics such as mean time to detect (MTTD), mean time to acknowledge (MTTA), mean time to restore/resolve (MTTR), service Availability, percentage of automated versus manual resolution, and so on.

Azure Storage is like an all you can eat buffet, except the more you eat, the more you pay! This has provided organisations an almost limitless supply of storage, and as we all know, the more that’s available, the more we’ll use.
