You're Clouding - But are you Clouding Properly?
If you even partly believe Marc Andreessen’s 2011 “software is eating the world” comment, it stands to reason that companies who are good at software will be the winners in a digital world. Given this, I find it ironic that little large-scale research has gone into what it takes to be good at software.
An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - Everything You Need to Know
AI and ML adoption in the enterprise is exploding from Silicon Valley to Wall Street. Ubuntu is becoming the premier platform for these ambitions — from developer workstations, to racks, to clouds and to the edge with smart connected IoT. But with new developer trends comes a plethora of new technologies and terminologies to understand.
Global Serverless Apps with AWS Lambda & API Gateway
Serverless technologies are lowering the barrier to entry for global deployments with on-demand pricing and scaling. AWS’ serverless offerings are now supported in 16 regions, and with the help of Up Pro’s latest v1.2.0 release we’re going to take a look at setting up a globally distributed app to decrease latency for your customers.
Native Kubernetes Monitoring, Part 2: Scaling and Life Cycle Management
This article is a follow up to Native Kubernetes Monitoring, Part One. In this chapter we’ll finish the two remaining demos for the other built-in tools, Probes and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA).
Stackdriver Profiler - Stack Doctor
Welcome to another episode of Stack Doctor. In the last episode, we worked set up tracing with Stackdriver to debug latency issues. This time, Customer Engineer Specialist Yuri Grinshteyn demonstrates how to install and use Stackdriver Profiler to see what happens inside a service.
Deploy CodeDeploy Application Action
AWS CodeDeploy is a deployment management service offered by AWS. You can use it to deploy updates of your applications to your EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and on-premises servers. This can be a powerful tool in your CI/CD pipeline. Today, I’m happy to announce a new action: Deploy CodeDeploy Application.
Key metrics for Amazon EKS monitoring
Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes, or Amazon EKS, is a hosted Kubernetes platform that is managed by AWS. Put another way, EKS is Kubernetes-as-a-service, with AWS hosting and managing the infrastructure needed to make your cluster highly available across multiple availability zones. EKS is distinct from Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), which is Amazon’s proprietary container orchestration service for running and managing Docker containers.
Tools for collecting Amazon EKS metrics
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at key metrics for tracking the performance and health of your EKS cluster. Recall that these EKS metrics fall into three general categories: Kubernetes cluster state metrics, resource metrics (at the node and container level), and AWS service metrics. In this post, we will go over methods for accessing these categories of metrics, broken down by where they are generated.
Monitoring your EKS cluster with Datadog
In this post, we’ll explore how Datadog’s integrations with Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS will let you track the full range of EKS metrics, as well as logs and performance data from your cluster and applications. Datadog gives you comprehensive coverage of your dynamic infrastructure and applications with features like Autodiscovery to track services across containers; sophisticated graphing and alerting options; and full support for AWS services.
