Amazon Elastic Beanstalk allows you to quickly provision the infrastructure needed for an entire application without the hassle of managing the configuration of EC2 instances, Elastic Load Balancers, Auto Scaling, and many other AWS services. Elastic Beanstalk also automatically monitors these resources and provides a simplified view into your application’s health.
Now that we’re all saving money on our Azure bills, it’s time to backup those Azure VM disks. Skeddly now supports the creation and deletion of Azure disk snapshots with our two new actions: Backup Virtual Machines, Delete Disk Snapshots. Both of these actions work like their AWS counterparts.
First, let me say that I know AWS doesn’t promise anything about network performance as it relates to packets. At best, they leave it as a multivariate calculus problem for the reader — inclusive of CPU performance, code optimization, MTU, and current network congestion under the VLANs. But still, I was curious to see if there was any correlation to Amazon’s published “Network Performance” and the actual packets per second metric I tested.
Victory Square Technologies and Plug and Play Ventures invested in the Vancouver and California-based startup with participation from key angels in the enterprise and infrastructure space.
Have you been bitten by unexpected costs in the cloud? Whether you are all in with serverless, cloud-native services, on demand and reserved instances, or you build systems and applications with all those things, it is very likely you have had a bad experience with unexpected costs. Why is that? Let me ask you, what is your DevOps tool for observing cost?
Remember the customer who reported a hard-coded packet per second (PPS) limit in AWS? His use case was a reverse-proxy server to a very active database cluster, complete with heartbeats, keep-alive connections, and a heavy load of queries and traffic. When the network throughput was sustained for an hour or so, the throughput would drop despite increasing demand.
