Azure Flexible Server joins the suite of PostgreSQL hosting platforms supported by Redgate Monitor, which also includes Linux hosts or VMs, Amazon RDS and Aurora. Our goal is to provide you with a single-pane-of-glass view of your entire PostgreSQL estate, whether it’s running in Azure, AWS, or on-prem, ensuring simpler troubleshooting, better insights, and faster performance tuning.

Without the right frameworks in place, software development often feels like managing a project with too many moving parts and no cohesive plan. A good solution to this problem would be having a unified platform that streamlines processes, integrates tools, and provides consistency across the development lifecycle. That’s what platform engineering offers—it simplifies the complexities of software development by making it easier to build, deploy, and maintain digital infrastructure.

Cut your traditional NAT gateway costs by 70% or more with Megaport’s new software solution. For large businesses, Network Address Translation (NAT) is a must. But when speaking with our enterprise customers about the software side of their architecture, the complaint was always the same: The ballooning egress fees that come with moving massive amounts of data quickly become a major cost burden.

Managing enterprise IT infrastructure isn’t just about staying afloat—it’s about being one step ahead with strategic IP address management in modern enterprise IT. Each day, IT teams grapple with network sprawl, security challenges, and the constant demand for scalability. But here’s a question: how does your enterprise manage its IP address space? If your answer is “manually” or “through spreadsheets,” it’s time to rethink your approach.

AI offers a world of promise for security teams, including potential for advanced threat detection, automated response capabilities, and enhanced data analysis for cybersecurity. But the same technology that supports cybersecurity teams can also be weaponized by threat actors — a true “Good vs. Evil", or “Jekyll and Hyde” scenario.

Keeping your organization secure is more important than ever. Microsoft Sentinel, a cloud-native Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution, helps detect and respond to threats effectively. But to get the most out of it, it’s important to understand how the pricing works.

Observability in Azure isn’t just about tracking metrics—it’s about truly understanding how your cloud infrastructure, applications, and services are performing. It helps you spot issues before they become problems, optimize performance, and ensure security. In this guide, we’ll break down Azure Observability in a way that’s easy to follow, covering key concepts, best practices, and some useful tricks to give you an edge.

Amazon Aurora offers up to five times the throughput of standard MySQL and three times that of PostgreSQL. Its architecture combines the database engine with a cloud-native, SSD-based storage system built for high I/O operations to achieve this. That said, AWS Aurora pricing can be a real headscratcher for customers, with concerns about the cost structure, pricing components, and ways to cut expenses.

Google Cloud remains the third-largest provider, holding a 13% share in the global cloud infrastructure services market. In Q3 2024, Google reported a 30% year-over-year revenue growth reaching $12 billion in sales. However, it is a competitive market so they are working hard to accelerate this momentum and drive future growth with developments in AI innovation and infrastructure investments.
