The latest News and Information on Cloud monitoring, security and related technologies.
If you have discovered that your application demand changes over time, you’re probably wondering how you can continuously adjust your cloud capacity in accordance to application demand. If you use CloudFormation, then you’re in luck! This article walks through how you can update your template code to automatically implement infrastructure adjustments, periodically.
Now that you've learned your way around Log Analytics and Application Insights, let’s move on to discuss how you can set up alerting in Azure Monitor. Azure Monitor is the centralized console where you can create alerting around various resources in your subscription and also manage it.
Cloud applications don’t just run flawlessly by way of magic. Many things can go wrong, and rest assured some will go wrong at one point. For small teams, this can be cumbersome and take a toll at the development speed. A monitoring system will detect these issues on behalf of the development team, so that they can act accordingly. At Dashbird, we think there’s much more to it, though, than just detecting and alerting issues, especially for small teams of developers.
A good software design tool enables rapid visualization of application architectures, much like a virtual whiteboard. A great design tool validates service architectures, their communication flows and the infrastructure required to execute them—and builds a scaffold that can be seamlessly taken forward into development. Security is a vital component of that scaffolding, starting at the design stage and extending through the application lifecycle.
