Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform, providing an array of services to manage a business’s data infrastructure to help it grow and expand. With the wide range of services provided, it has multiple options to provide you with an elastic approach to optimize your costs. However, many users struggle with controlling their expenditure due to a variety of factors. Getting a complete understanding of how to reduce your AWS operational costs may be a daunting task.

Logz.io has deepened its partnership with Hashicorp over the last few months. Recently, we announced our integration with their service mesh, Hashicorp Consul. Simultaneously, we have worked on and completed an integration with their infrastructure orchestrator (a.k.a, infrastructure-as-code or IAC), Terraform. IACs take manual configurations and treats them as, well, code (along with procedures, build guides, run books, etc.).

Infrastructure monitoring is often equated to infrastructure management, which can blur the line between two very distinct jobs. While they are different, it’s safe to say that both infrastructure monitoring and management have the same end goals, i.e., to maintain the integrity of the network, secure the server, and optimize performance. Infrastructure management (IM) has many use cases, and one of those uses cases is infrastructure monitoring.

If you’re a SaaS business — especially B2B — you know that your profitability can vary significantly from customer to customer. We all have a sense of our “expensive customers,” who use the product heavily and push things to the limit. That also means there are more profitable customers. Who are they? And how do they use the product?

In the Information Age, data is currency. Controlling the flow of information and more importantly, protecting it has increasingly become a focal point for companies who want to remain competitive in modern markets. Improving data efficiency, integrity, and security is often how companies separate themselves from their peers. We present two of the most common methods for data transfers: FTP and SFTP.

At times, directing projects in multiple locales from a desktop or laptop feels like conducting an orchestra in the dark. Coordinating with diverse, remote teams of developers producing software on an agile schedule of continual updates and releases can be especially nerve-wracking. At Sleuth, we’re crushing the remote-work challenge because, in 20 years of managing from afar, we’ve learned a thing or two — actually three — about how to do it right.
