Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration system that enables applications to run on a cluster of hosts. It’s a critical part of cloud native architecture because it can work on public or private clouds and on-premises environments. With an orchestration layer on top of traditional infrastructure, Kubernetes allows the automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

The job of a financial planning and analysis (FP&A) professional is to oversee the building of financial models, track budgets, and partner with stakeholders across their organization to make better decisions. For FP&A professionals in charge of partnering with engineering and product organizations, this means understanding how investments in innovation, from software purchases to headcount, are driving business outcomes. Like any team in an organization, this comes with its own unique set of challenges.

Whenever you move data into or out of a cloud, the traffic crosses one or more networks, potentially resulting in transfer charges. These are known as ingress (moving data into the cloud) and egress (moving data out of the cloud) charges - and there's incentives in most of the pricing models by cloud service providers (CSP) to encourage an organisation to use a direct connection to transfer data, rather than go via the public internet.

Required fields have been a hot topic at FireHydrant. Choose too many (or the wrong ones), and you unnecessarily annoy your team during an incident or encourage sloppy data entry that someone has to come back and clean up manually. Don't use them at all and risk insufficient data to efficiently propel an incident toward resolution.

Citrix Hypervisor, formerly known as Citrix XenServer, is a type 1 hypervisor that enables organizations to run and manage an entire virtual infrastructure—including VMs, virtual desktops, and virtual applications. Organizations can also use Citrix Hypervisor to optionally host these virtual workloads with higher availability and flexibility by implementing managed server groups called resource pools.

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a de-facto standard as a container orchestration tool. In this tutorial, you will learn how to deploy a Node.js application on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD).
