Failover Groups - Cloud 66 Demo
A failover group is a managed, quick-response DNS address that automatically follows your application's web endpoints. You can connect it to up to two instances of an application at any time - a primary and backup instance. Should you need to switch traffic between your instances, you can flip a switch and your traffic will begin flowing to the backup instance within 5 minutes. What is Cloud 66? Cloud 66 gives you everything you need to build, deploy and maintain your applications on any cloud, without the headache of dealing with “server stuff”.

Outages ITOps professionals are thankful to avoid
As we settle into the time of year when we reflect on what we're thankful for, we tend to focus on important basics such as health, family and friends.

The very last thing ITOps, network operations center (NOC) or site reliability engineering (SRE) teams want while eating their turkey and enjoying time with family is to get paged about an outage. These can be extremely costly - $12,913 per minute, in fact, and up to $1.5 million per hour for larger organizations.
