Notifications don't let silent disasters crush your dev team

Smart notifications and nudges are table stakes tools for developers looking to streamline their work and stay focused on building improvements. These automatic alerts are key to a more efficient workflow, freeing us from the burden of repetitive, overwhelming, and time critical tasks — aka, toil.

Making the Move to Consolidation: Reducing Sprawl in 2023

For DevOps, 2023 is the year to reduce tool sprawl and start tool consolidation efforts. Sprawl is often seen as a natural result of the flexibility and empowerment of dev teams to choose their own tools, but organizations now understand the need for a single, streamlined system. While flexibility to choose the right tool for the job has enabled teams to move quickly, the result is a complex web of systems and processes to deliver software.

Cloud Expenditure - A Storm is Brewing

Expenditure on cloud computing services reached a mammoth 225 billion dollars in 2022. Companies start their cloud-native journeys with the best intentions and consume the many benefits including: But current cloud expenditure growth levels are unsustainable for many organizations and with 82% of organizations investing in FinOps staff it shows that cloud expenditure is top of mind in the c-suite.

Solving the top 7 challenges of ML model development with CircleCI

Amid an AI boom and developing research, machine learning (ML) models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Midjourney’s generative text-to-image model have radically shifted the natural language processing (NLP) and image processing landscape. Due to this new and powerful technology, developing and deploying ML models has quickly become the new frontier for software development.

Monitoring High Cardinality Metrics

Monitoring is all about data. When you implement a monitoring tool, you have to make sure that the monitoring software can handle data. Today, data flows at high speeds and in large volumes. Data also comes in diverse forms, which increases the complexity of data ingestion. Because of this, monitoring solution providers promote, among others, their data processing capacities. If a monitoring platform can handle large and diverse data that comes in at a high velocity, it becomes a big advantage.

Machine Learning Made Simple - Civo Navigate NA 2022

Josh Mesout explores the complexities and challenges of adopting machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). He discusses the struggle to embrace and understand these technologies, leading to a high failure rate. Mesout highlights the significant time spent on infrastructure engineering and the need for expertise across various disciplines. He addresses the difficulty in justifying ROI and the risks associated with machine learning. Civo introduces KubeFlow as a service to simplify machine learning, including lower pricing points, GPU Edge box, and partnerships.

How to Handle Kubernetes Resource Quotas

A containerized approach to software deployment means you can deploy at scale without having to worry about the configuration of each unit. In Kubernetes, clusters do the heavy lifting for you—they’re the pooled resources that run the pods that hold your individual containers. You can divide each cluster by namespace, which allows you to assign nodes (ie the machine resources in a cluster) to different roles or different teams. Resource quotas limit what each namespace can use.

Strengthening Aviation Cybersecurity: Take Flight with Teneo and Akamai Guardicore

In today’s digital landscape, the aviation industry faces increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that can compromise the safety and security of critical systems. To combat these challenges, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented new cybersecurity requirements. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Teneo, in collaboration with Akamai Guardicore, can help aviation organizations meet these requirements and strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.
