13 Cloud Cost Management Strategies (And How CloudZero Can Help)

Cloud cost management is a big deal right now. For instance, 58% of organizations say their cloud costs are too high, according to our State of Cloud Cost report. Over the last five years, several other studies have shown that controlling cloud spend is a top cloud computing challenge. There’s more. As AI adoption accelerates, a new challenge has emerged: managing the rapidly growing costs of AI in a scalable and intelligent way.

Mastering Kubernetes Testing with Traffic Replay

Kubernetes has become the backbone of many modern application deployment pipelines, and for good reason as a container orchestration platform, Kubernetes automates the scaling, deployment, and management of workloads, allowing developers to make their applications easier to manage and deploy at scale without worrying about their service’s dependencies, their user’s operating system, or the intricacies of their data center or infrastructure provider.

5 Ways To Align Engineering And Finance On Cloud Spend

Finance and engineering both thrive on efficiency. So when companies realize they’re wasting cloud spend, but aren’t sure where or how, both teams become frustrated. It’s remarkable how common this scenario has become, particularly over the past five years. Before the pandemic, Gartner reported that companies wasted over $14 billion on cloud services. During the cloud adoption surge in 2020, IDG found that 70% of US businesses overspent by as much as 62%.

Software-Defined Healthcare: Modernizing Through DevOps, Observability & AIOps

Healthcare delivery is undergoing a transformation unlike any other. Digital systems now shape how physicians deliver care, how practices are managed, and how patients experience the health system. From cloud-native platforms to intelligent automation, the shift toward software-defined healthcare is revolutionizing clinical operations. At the heart of this change are three critical enablers: DevOps, Observability, and AIOps. Together, they form the backbone of a modern healthcare IT environment, driving resilience, agility, and patient-centered outcomes.

Bringing Canonical Kubernetes to Sylva: a new chapter for European telco clouds

The telecommunications industry is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades. The move from vertically integrated, proprietary systems to disaggregated, cloud-native infrastructure has unlocked enormous potential for agility and innovation. Yet, for many operators, the challenge has been how to realize that potential while meeting the stringent performance, security, and interoperability requirements that telecom networks demand.

How to Improve MariaDB Performance: Track Slow Queries with Logs and Metrics

Database latency rarely starts in your app layer because it’s almost always a query doing more work than it should. Metrics tell you when that happens, but slow-query logging tells you which statement did it and how. That’s gold for tracking down missing indexes, inefficient filters, or accidental full scans. Pair the logging with a some lightweight counter metrics, and you get both an early warning and a clear path to a fix.
