The latest News and Information on Cloud monitoring, security and related technologies.
Cloud native observability is at a watershed moment. The explosion of microservices has created previously unseen amounts of monitoring data, limiting the ability of humans and computer systems to extract meaning from data with last-generation tools. Debugging is often a process of detecting correlation, and then turning correlations into causal connections. This is where modern cloud native tooling comes in.
TL;DR – Get started with Mattermost on Azure using the Mattermost on AKS quickstart from the Azure CNAB Quickstart Library. The quickstart provides a fast and simple way to get running with Mattermost, without the need to learn or install any new tooling. By using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), the infrastructure is fully managed for you, and the quickstart handles configuring networking and SSL certificates so you can instantly access the Mattermost application after installation.
Today, AWS announced enhancements for AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry. We’re working with AWS to build in additional support from partners. In tandem with that launch, Honeycomb is announcing support for event ingestion using OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP). With that change, you can simplify management overhead and configuration by no longer needing to maintain a separate OpenTelemetry exporter.
Say you are an awesome developer sitting contentedly at your desk when a Slack message suddenly interrupts your peaceful mental flow: It would appear there is a data issue with the new Activity History service released last month… Or at least a couple people think there is. Now, instead of making progress on new tasks, you now need to drop those and look into what’s happening here. Sigh.
Serverless is synonymous with Event-Driven Architecture, where Events are a fundamental block of information that is passed around to execute certain application logic. It is very important that events are delivered to the right destination with expected behavior to make sure the whole serverless application works as one. Events are relayed from one place to another through communication services, either in sequence or in parallel.

There’s a lot of talk about serverless computing lately, especially with the big tech giants investing in the idea and offering exclusive products built on it. But is it just a buzzword, or does it have the potential to become the next big thing in technology? Cloud computing was once a buzzword, too, one may argue. But that buzzword ended up revolutionizing the whole industry, with 90 percent of companies now using cloud hosting.
