How Choosing The Right DLT Tier Can Reduce Databricks Costs

Databricks is a critical part of many organizations’ tech stacks, facilitating analytics, machine learning, and other leading-edge data engineering tasks. But when a service like Databricks becomes essential, it also tends to become a cost black hole, leading engineering teams to a quandary: How can you keep Databricks costs in check without hurting application performance? At CloudZero, we give organizations unparalleled visibility into their Databricks costs.

The Top 4 Kubernetes Misconfigurations You Can Avoid on Cycle

Most cloud infrastructure and deployment misconfigurations start innocently enough: a dev under pressure to ship quickly tweaks a configuration file or adjusts a permission setting to make something work. It's not malicious and it might even be well thought out, but these small changes can cause a cascade of reactions that bring down production in seconds.

Why Puppet Vulnerability Remediation is a Game-Changer for Enterprise Infrastructure Ops

Effective vulnerability management has become a growing priority for organizations. Aided in part by AI, threats and vulnerabilities grow in speed and sophistication while IT environments become more complex. The skill gap for cybersecurity keeps widening (further worsened by a sprawling toolkit), exposing critical systems to exploitation. Managing secure infrastructure manually just isn’t possible at the scale and speed today’s enterprises demand.

Introducing Support for Chocolatey and PowerShell Packages

In February, we announced our support for Hex packages, which further solidified the JFrog Platform as the most universal package management solution. We’re excited to announce we’re continuing to build on our universality with our new official support of Chocolatey and PowerShell, which allows both technologies to be used with our NuGet repositories in JFrog Artifactory.

Distributed Network Monitoring: Guide to Getting Started & Troubleshooting

When systems span clouds, containers, and regions, knowing what’s happening under the hood is more than a nice-to-have—it’s critical. Traditional monitoring tools often fall short in these complex setups. That’s where distributed network monitoring steps in. This guide cuts through the noise to offer a clear, practical approach to keeping tabs on distributed systems—without drowning in dashboards or alert fatigue.

Automating vulnerability scanning for Gradle dependencies with CircleCI

Detecting dependency vulnerabilities in a Gradle-based project is crucial because it prevents applications from using libraries (dependencies) with security holes. Imagine an application as a house. Each dependency, or library used in the project, is like building material (such as wood, glass, or bricks). If there’s a flawed or easily penetrable material, the house can become unsafe, such as being more vulnerable to thieves or collapsing during an earthquake.

Top Linode Alternatives for 2025: Why Kamatera Stands Out for DevOps Teams

Businesses continuously explore alternatives to Linode to discover cloud hosting solutions that align perfectly with their diverse needs. Alternative platforms like AWS, Amazon, OVHcloud, and Kamatera offer varied options in terms of pricing, features, and performance capabilities. Shifting to these alternatives might provide better integration options, improved customer support, or pricing benefits suited for different business scales. This exploration enables organizations to secure a cloud platform that meets their specific requirements and supports their growth trajectory effectively.

How to find Kubernetes reliability risks with Gremlin

Part of the Gremlin Office Hours series: A monthly deep dive with Gremlin experts. Most Kubernetes clusters have reliability risks lurking just below the surface.
