Kubernetes is a container orchestration system for automating deployment and managing containerized applications. Helm is a Kubernetes package manager that helps you define, install, and upgrade Kubernetes applications. It lets you define reusable templates for Kubernetes components (deployment, service, hpa, service account, etc.) that can be published and shared across applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to build and install Helm charts for your application to an AWS EKS cluster.
As the amount of data generated by organizations grows exponentially, the need for efficient and cost-effective storage solutions becomes critical. Cloud storage providers like Microsoft Azure offer a range of storage options to meet these demands. One such option is Azure Cool Tier Storage, a part of Azure Blob Storage, which is designed for cost-effective storage of infrequently accessed data.
If you are like most organizations, your technology environment is a complex mixture of tools needed to run your business. In this environment, monitoring and observability are critical to making sure everything is running smoothly. You use monitoring tools to measure server resources, log-parsing tools for troubleshooting, application tools to observe application performance, and audit-request tools to comply with regulations. While these are all valid observability needs, there are risks to overdoing it by introducing too many tools. Here are some ways to avoid monitoring proliferation when developing your observability strategy.
Microsoft Azure Blob Storage is a scalable, cost-effective, and high-performance cloud storage solution that enables businesses to store massive amounts of unstructured data. With Azure Blob Storage, users can access and manipulate data from anywhere in the world through the Azure Storage REST API or the Storage Client Library. One of the key considerations when using Azure Blob Storage is the choice of storage tier, as it significantly affects cost and performance.
Canonical is committed to enabling Ubuntu users to leverage the strong run-time confidentiality and integrity guarantees that confidential computing provides. That is why we are happy to announce we have joined the confidential computing consortium, a project community at the Linux Foundation that is focused on accelerating the adoption of confidential computing and driving cross-industry collaboration around relevant open source software, standards and tools.
Shouldn’t your alerts be doing more of the work for you? A noisy channel with every alert from hundreds of monitors and microservices is a chaotic place to actually find the incidents that are impacting your customers. And it still requires a heck of a lot of human intervention. We think it’s time for something better. Today we’re releasing Alert Routing: the next phase of worry-free automation from FireHydrant.
When containers and container orchestration were introduced, they opened the possibility of helping companies utilize physical resources like CPU and memory more efficiently. But as more companies and bigger enterprises have adopted Kubernetes, FinOps professionals may wonder why their cloud bills haven’t gone down—or worse, why they have increased.
Logistics does not only involve getting company resources from point A to point B. When a company has a logistics arm, they also need to develop the practice of field service management. This applies to any kind of customer-facing logistics, whether they are service vehicles for on-site support or company cars for client visits. Unfortunately, some organizations are immature when it comes to their field service management, employing only the most bare-bones approach to the discipline.
