On the internet, nothing necessarily stays easy, simple, and reliable forever – but we’re trying to keep it that way for your logs. When our customers use Kubernetes, they want to remain focused on the real challenges of scaling, and avoid infrastructure headaches, so that they can adapt to the unexpected easily and with a minimum of toil. That’s why we continue to invest in the LogDNA Agent. It’s built to handle file logging in even the most intensive Kubernetes deployments.

Ram and I talk about how we support our SignalFx offering at scale, efficiently with resilience and reliability baked in.

SSL (Secure Socket Layers) certificates tell your site’s visitors that you are whom you say you are and creates an encrypted connection between your domain (anexampledomain.com) and the visitor. If your domain doesn’t supply a valid certificate, the browser throws up a wall that warns the user that the site isn’t trusted. Many things may happen that tell the browser to issue the warning, but the most common reason is due to an expired SSL certificate.

Monitoring every resource in your VMware environment is crucial to avoid sudden issues and ensure proper capacity planning. Although VMware offers its own monitoring suite, organizations frequently seek out third-party monitoring tools.

This is because third-party tools provide monitoring for the compute, storage, network, and analytics aspects of VMware environments, all from a single interface.
