Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) has become an essential part of modern software development, allowing teams to deliver high-quality code at a faster pace. Teams can either build or buy their CI/CD system. In this blog post, we will compare both options - exploring the advantages and disadvantages of each - and why CircleCI may be the better choice.

There are tons of tools to choose from when it comes to visualizing data, but Grafana has become one of the best ways for organizations to visualize information and get notified about events happening within their infrastructure or data. According to Kubernetes: In this article, we will take a look at the best practices for monitoring Kubernetes using Grafana.

ELB cost optimization- CloudSpend Amazon Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) is a load balancing service that automatically and evenly distributes incoming traffic from client-side applications across multiple virtual server instances, like Amazon EC2 instances, containers, or IP addresses, in different availability zones. It smoothly handles server instance failover and unavailability, thus increasing the application’s fault tolerance.

This is the fifth part of a 7-part series on the salient features that IT professionals should look for in high-performing IT infrastructure orchestration platforms for enterprise use cases.

Unfortunately, no Logic App connector can make the bridge to RabbitMQ, which makes this integration challenge a little bit more complicated. However, we have the ability to create an Azure Function by using the RabbitMQ trigger for Azure Functions to overcome this limitation. The purpose of this POC is to receive a message in a RabbitMQ queue, and that event triggers an Azure Function, which fires a Logic App.
