Cloud-native monitoring is all about keeping an eye on how well your cloud-based apps and services are doing. It's like having a health check-up for your digital operations, making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently across distributed cloud systems.

Cloud computing has transformed the landscape of IT and business over the past several years, offering unparalleled speed, scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency to organizations of all sizes. However, amidst the widespread adoption of cloud technologies, there's a noteworthy phenomenon that's also gaining attention and traction: cloud migrations and repatriations.

One of the fundamental promises of the cloud, when organizations embrace it, is significant cost savings compared to its on-premises costs. However, organizations to realize savings is required to proactively plan and monitor the application’s cost at a granular level. Azure cost anomaly detection involves promptly identifying, rectifying, and analysing unexpected Azure cost events to minimize their impact on the business.

As software systems become more complex, navigating their inner workings has become increasingly difficult due to the evolution of more advanced architectures. While distributed systems, such as microservices and cloud-native architectures, offer benefits in scalability and agility, they also make it more challenging to pinpoint and resolve system issues. Traditional methods for tracking errors are often insufficient in these multifaceted environments.

At Qovery, we're thrilled to introduce a groundbreaking way for AWS users to drastically reduce their costs — by up to 60% on EC2 instances. This significant reduction is made possible through the synergy of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with Karpenter, AWS's powerful autoscaler.

Classified as a "Management and Governance” tool in the AWS console, AWS CloudTrail is an auditing, compliance monitoring and governance tool from Amazon Web Services (AWS). With CloudTrail, AWS account owners can ensure every API call made to every resource in their AWS account is recorded and written to a log. An API call request can be made when: These actions can be coming from: CloudTrail saves the API events in a secured, immutable format, which can be used for later analysis.

Throughout the years, many users have asked us if it’s possible to only deploy to Upsun when a tag is pushed using a source code integration. The answer is: with our current source integrations, it's not—but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Upsun is based on Git and because of this, acts as a remote for your code repository.

Cloud cost management and FinOps best practices rely on getting as much meaningful data as possible into decision-makers’ hands. Without the ability to pull data from all your various cost sources, you cannot get 100% visibility into your cloud spend — let alone make decisions to optimize that spend.

If you’ve been keeping up on what’s buzzing in the IT operations and software development space in the past few years, then you know that the concepts of AIOps and observability have been getting a lot of attention. And while they are related, they each address a different aspect of managing and monitoring IT systems.
