A well-functioning IT infrastructure and application fleet is one of the core elements to powering a successful modern business. But how can we ensure it’s indeed well-functioning? Continuous monitoring is one of the methods to ensure an infrastructure setup is managed successfully.

Planning a hybrid application migration? There’s plenty to deal with already, and now your manager wants to know—how are you going to make sure that the migration is a success? The secret is to take a subjective judgment and turn it into an objective one. As you probably know, there is no way that you can guarantee a problem-free migration. Don’t leave it up solely to how your boss or anyone else feels about the migration.

Imagine being offered an electronic lock for your front door. One that allows you to open the door through a mobile application in the cloud, would you accept it? They promised that they would never lose the key, that with the app your would be able to open the door remotely and even through a webcam in the peephole, the device will be able to recognize your face and welcome you.

Network management is the process that helps you know the working state of your network. It also enables you to fix various discovered or undiscovered network problems.

Javascript is often criticized for being a simple language, but if you take a closer look, there is actually a lot of nuance to it.

At first glance, there seems to be a conspicuous absence of this functionality for javascript.

Kubernetes allowed us to manage application deployments and infrastructure components using declarative configuration files (yes, those YAMLs that you may not be a fan of ). While dealing with a myriad of YAML files may be loved by some and hated by others, it enables us to host all these files into a Git repository, hook it up to a pipeline (Jenkins, GitLab, etc.), and have a tool apply those changes to a cluster—and voilà, you have GitOps.

Splunk Cloud Architect Paul Davies recently authored and released the GCP Application Template, a blueprint of visualizations, reports, and searches focused on Google Cloud use cases. Many of the reports included in his application require Google Cloud asset inventory data to be periodically generated and sent into Splunk. But HOW exactly do you craft that inventory generation pipeline so you can "light-up" Paul's application dashboards and reports?
