The Reliability industry needs a managed, non-vendor lock-in answer to spiraling costs, high cardinality and the toil of managing a tsdb.
When it comes to the world of cloud computing, Microsoft Azure is one of the top players in the game. However, managing an Azure environment can be complex and requires a good understanding of its various components. One such component is an Azure tenant. An Azure tenant, also referred to as a directory or a subscription, is essentially a dedicated and isolated instance of the Microsoft Cloud that holds your organization’s data and accounts.
The global COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a new era of remote work. The Pew Research Center reports that over 71% of people had transitioned to working from home at the height of the pandemic. As of 2023, that number is still relatively high, with 59% of workers remaining at home though social distancing restrictions have long been relaxed. As remote work becomes increasingly common, many managers are considering transitioning to the new model.

Users can now launch Ubuntu Pro on-demand instances and purchase Ubuntu Pro Compute Savings Plans from the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) console.
If you’re in DevOps, you know the word ‘Kubernetes’. While saying that mouthful of a word (generally shortened to k8s in text) would have gotten you a weird look and someone asking if you need to lie down before 2017, it’s been sacrilegious to even consider starting a project without architecting your solution on top of it in the last few years.
The different states of system processes are essential to understanding how a computer system works. Each state represents a specific point in a process's life cycle and can impact system performance and stability.
As a system administrator, understanding how your Linux system's CPU is being utilized is crucial for identifying bottlenecks and optimizing performance. In this blog post, we'll dive deep into the world of Linux CPU consumption, load, and pressure, and discuss how to use these metrics effectively to identify issues and improve your system's performance.
Context switching is the process of switching the CPU from one process, task or thread to another. In a multitasking operating system, such as Linux, the CPU has to switch between multiple processes or threads in order to keep the system running smoothly. This is necessary because each CPU core without hyperthreading can only execute one process or thread at a time.
Swap memory, also known as virtual memory, is a space on a hard disk that is used to supplement the physical memory (RAM) of a computer. The swap space is used when the system runs out of physical memory, and it moves less frequently accessed data from RAM to the hard disk, freeing up space in RAM for more frequently accessed data. But should swap memory be enabled on production systems and cloud-provided virtual machines (VMs)? Let's explore the pros and cons.
