AWS Fargate allows you to run applications in Amazon Elastic Container Service without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. With Fargate, you can define containerized tasks, specify the CPU and memory requirements, and launch your applications without spinning up EC2 instances or manually managing a cluster. Datadog has proudly supported Fargate since its launch, and we have continued to collaborate with AWS on best practices for managing serverless container tasks.

Charmed OSM and Managed Apps let telecom operators accelerate adoption of NFV. This is needed because the way we consume data has changed. We want data at a cheaper price with faster speeds and in larger quantities. To meet the challenge, telecom operators are changing the underlying network infrastructure that delivers data. Software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualisation (NFV) are enabling this by lowering costs and improving infrastructure flexibility.

Stackery’s secure serverless platform for AWS offers teams a key resource to help realize the promise of serverless – by automating otherwise complex infrastructure processes, we enable you to leverage the massive suite of AWS tools and services with minimal management overhead. It’s crucial for teams to do this while enforcing security and ensuring adherence to compliance guidelines.

Digital transformation can be a rewarding endeavor for any enterprise, especially now considering the current remote work scenario. Often, organizations leverage the support of the cloud to set up robust digital transformation frameworks. The cloud offers scalability, making it easy to scale up or down. The cloud is also far more dynamic in terms of consumption—you pay for what you use.

Today Sysdig announced the availability of IBM Cloud’s new IBM Cloud service monitoring solution. The new capability – an extension of IBM Cloud Monitoring with Sysdig – provides pre-defined service metrics and dashboards for IBM public cloud services.

Today we’re very excited to announce a partnership with Amazon to support Fargate in Sysdig’s product line. We are also announcing that Falco, the world’s most popular runtime security tool for containers, will soon be able to work on Fargate. This is an important milestone. For the first time, Fargate users will enjoy the benefit of deep instrumentation. This will make their workloads more secure, reliable, and efficient.

IAM is the de-facto method of authorization in AWS. Most Kubernetes “Quick Start” guides for AWS do not adequately cover how to manage IAM access in your pods. This blog series will first go over the security issues specific to AWS IAM on Kubernetes, then compare solutions, and then we will end with a detailed walkthrough for setting up your cluster with one of those solutions.

Azure Serverless Applications are indeed powerful and super-efficient in delivering the right solution sooner to the market. However, the Azure portal is just not enough to meet the operational and support requirements of the Serverless Application. Organizations cannot afford to invest time and effort in skilled Azure resources in proving support.

Moving applications to a public cloud, no matter why you’re making that journey, is a high-stakes proposition. As an industry, we’re focused on rapidly moving forward to give our businesses the competitive edge they need. However, when it comes to cloud migration, we often fail to stop and ask some critical questions, and as a result we end up overspending and underperforming.
