When looking at any automation task in System Center Orchestrator, it will inevitably need to connect to other enterprise management systems to automate the process. This means using an Integration Pack or writing your own piece of PowerShell script to build an integration yourself.

After a span of 5 long years, we've bid farewell to Cycle's old portal. Our engineering team has been working tirelessly over the last 10 months to bring a fresh, new interface to the platform for our users. This new design encapsulates the wealth of insights we've gained during this period. Just last week, we took the decisive step of launching it into production, and the initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Gartner recently published its Hype Cycle for Site Reliability Engineering, 2023, (July 2023) report. OnPage was inspired by this report to share its prediction about the future of site reliability engineering. In this blog, OnPage will review evolutionary tools that can improve site reliability engineering practices.

Large language models (LLMs) are the topic of the year. They are as complex as they are exciting, and everyone can agree they put artificial intelligence in the spotlight. Once LLms were released to the public, the hype around them grew and so did their potential use cases – LLM-based chatbots being one of them. While large language models have been available for some time, there are still a lot of challenges when it comes to building your own project.

Microservices architecture has become increasingly popular in modern software development due to its scalability, resilience, and flexibility. However, with the benefits of microservices come the challenges of debugging and monitoring these distributed systems. Using the Istio service mesh, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, and Apica’s Kubernetes-native observability platform, developers can easily collect and visualize performance data in real-time to identify and fix issues quickly.

We're excited to introduce a new enhancement to help teams build more reliable software: Detected Risks. Available today, Detected Risks helps you find and fix the most common causes of infrastructure outages and incidents in minutes—without running Chaos Engineering experiments or reliability tests.

We’ve all experienced latency in some form. It’s unfortunately something we’re all too familiar with. We’ve even gone so far as to accept it as a regular albeit undesirable part of the user experience. Yet despite various steps taken over the years, it still exists and is as disruptive as ever.

Operating Kubernetes reliably and efficiently involves adhering to a set of best practices. These practices help ensure the stability, scalability and maintainability of your Kubernetes clusters and their applications. It's crucial for platform teams (responsible for the infrastructure) and software development teams (responsible for deploying applications) to work together in applying these practices.
