Everyone is doing it. No, I am not talking about the latest Tik Tok challenge… The thing that everybody is doing—every company, that is—is that they are spending more money in the cloud than they need to. In fact, 82% of respondents in our own recent survey admitted that their organizations have incurred unnecessary cloud costs.

The growth of site reliability engineering (SRE) has demonstrated the need for SRE implementations is here to stay for the foreseeable future. LinkedIn voted SRE jobs as the second most promising positions in the US in 2019, and now as we head into 2022, you can be sure to see the evolution of SRE continue to grow and expand. Below, we’ll get into what SRE is, what SRE engineers do, and how SRE will continue to evolve into the future.

Virtualization is the technique of creating a software-based virtual version of something, whether that be computers, storage, networking, servers, or applications. Virtualization creates a virtual layer over the hardware, enabling the creation of virtual machines (VMs), which are virtual computers that you can run multiple of on a single piece of hardware.

In the digital age, organizations depend more on IT than ever before. The foundation of many IT functions -- including data storage, website hosting, emails, and software -- is server management. Without reliable, functioning servers, most IT functionality would collapse. Many businesses have migrated internal IT to cloud services using servers located in remote data centers, but a significant number still have in-house servers or use a hybrid environment of in-house and cloud services.

The year 2021 has ended, and we are now entering 2022. Last year, Microsoft released a few new Azure services and updated others. This blog post will discuss the most exciting cloud integration-related updates and releases.

Last week I created a guide for our users to set up an NGINX service as an API Gateway with Qovery. The API gateway must redirect the incoming traffic to the appropriate service with the correct port. My problem is that the API Gateway does not know the ports exposed for every service. In this post, I will show you a quick tip on finding the port of a Kubernetes service with a single DNS request. Let's go!

Speedscale is excited to join the AWS Partner Network (APN), the global community of partners who leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build solutions and services for customers. AWS Partners are uniquely positioned to help businesses take full advantage of all that AWS has to offer and accelerate the journey to the cloud. As part of this achievement, Speedscale has completed the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR).

Cloud computing is vast. It encompasses a huge range of architectural styles, classifications, and types. This complex computing network has transformed the way we work and is a crucial part of our daily lives, both at home and at work. For organizations, there are many ways to “cloud”, but let’s start with the basics of cloud computing; the internet cloud.

CircleCI cloud offers over 20 resource classes (varying CPU and RAM) across multiple execution environments. Finding the best resource class size for your job — not too big and not too small — can sometimes be a challenge. But now, you can view CPU and RAM usage for Docker executors within the UI. The new dashboard, found in the new Resources tab on the job details page, displays the CPU and RAM, for all parallel runs in your Docker job.

For the past three years, I have been running and facilitating a community where folks from all levels and departments at CircleCI can come together to discuss diverse topics. We call it “Let’s Talk Engineering.” Some of the topics we’ve covered have been technical in nature, while others have focused more on leadership: how different teams operate, personal growth, and writing to name a few. Let’s Talk Engineering celebrates interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity.
