An Easy Guide to Getting Started with Elastic APM

Code in production will break. Maybe a request takes too long, maybe it fails quietly, or maybe it works fine one minute and falls over the next. Logs can help, sure—but they don’t always show the full picture, especially when performance issues are involved. Elastic APM gives you a clearer view. It traces what your application is doing from incoming requests to database queries and everything in between.

A Simple Guide To GKE Cost Allocation And Cluster Spend

Running workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) delivers impressive scalability and flexibility. Yet, it can also introduce a tricky challenge: tracking GKE costs accurately. Remember, GKE costs rarely scale linearly. Overprovisioned nodes, idle autoscalers, and orphaned workloads can quietly balloon your bill in the background. And while GKE’s native tools offer some visibility, they often miss the full picture.

Achieving Sovereign AI with the JFrog Platform and NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory

Introducing Environment Policy- Gain Unified Control Over Compliance Requirements Across Your Runtime Environments

In modern software development, different environments often have different compliance requirements. Your development environment might allow more flexibility, while production demands strict controls around security scans, testing, and code review. Environment Policy helps you codify these requirements and enforce them consistently.

Sustaining the demand for AI in Asia with investment in subsea cable infrastructure

Across the Asia Pacific region significant investment is going into new subsea cable infrastructure that will help sustain the long-term demand for AI. We’ve written a lot on this blog about the impact of AI on networks and how AI workloads require low latency, high-capacity data transfer. This in turn puts more pressure on existing network infrastructure and in particular subsea cable systems - which provide the global backbone for cloud platforms and data centres.

Infrastructure Management: When to Pick Bare Metal or Virtualized Servers

Infrastructure management isn't about taking sides. Too often, teams get pulled into “X is better than Y” debates that miss the bigger picture: your compute stack should serve your needs, not industry hype. A common decision point in the past has been the choice between bare metal or cloud hyperscalar virtualization. Nowadays, the answer isn't 1 or 0.

The Future of WAN Design Depends on Network as a Service (NaaS)

Megaport and AWS explore how Network as a Service (NaaS) transforms WAN design with cloud-native agility, on-demand provisioning, and GenAI-ready flexibility. Co-authored by: Rishi Katdare, Leader – AWS Core Networking & GTM, AWS Mokshith Kumar, Sr. GTM Specialist Solutions Architect – AWS Core Networking, AWS As enterprise architectures grow more distributed and cloud-native, traditional methods of building and managing Wide Area Networks (WANs) are reaching their limits.
