Throughout the workweek or during the process of any project, even the best small teams can hit obstacles. Issues with miscommunications, unproductive meetings, too many emails, and not knowing what the other members of the team are doing can all work together to stall your team's productivity and efficiency. The term Team Efficiency refers to a team achieving maximum productivity with minimal wasted effort or expenses.
Calico and Kubernetes go hand-in-hand. Kubernetes is the de facto standard for deploying and managing container-based applications at scale, both on-premises and in the cloud. Calico continues to be the most popular open-source networking and network security solution for Kubernetes. Despite the cataclysmic events that occurred in 2020, the Calico community, supported by the team at Tigera, remained focused and achieved several major successes. We are excited to share these highlights.
As 2020 comes to an end, it’s normal to reflect upon the year’s challenges, innovations, and achievements. When we look back on 2020, the hardships we all endured collectively across the globe seem to stack higher than other recent years. A pandemic swept across the world, rapidly shifting the ways we communicate, work, and connect with others. And hacks, scams, and ransomware attacks were at an all-time high.
One of the many aspects of CloudZero’s cloud cost intelligence is anomaly detection. Unlike solutions which require you to set budgets or thresholds, CloudZero uses machine learning to automatically detect and alert on anomalies, then send them directly to dev team Slack channels where the responsible engineers can view and take action. Here are just a few examples of real customer anomalies, what caused them, and the action the customer took.
The realm of computing is endlessly vast, and programmers can utilize numerous programming languages that facilitate logging. Novice programmers often wonder, why is Python considered the ideal language to learn logging?
Monitoring Telegraf — the open source, plugin-driven server agent for collecting metrics from stacks, sensors and systems — is important because it allows you to track the health of Telegraf plugins in your stack. It’s for this purpose that the Telegraf Monitoring Template was developed. Before introducing the template, it’s helpful to recall how Telegraf works.
Kubernetes continues to be a popular platform for deploying containerized applications, but securing Kubernetes environments as you scale up is challenging. Each new container increases your application’s attack surface, or the number of potential entry points for unauthorized access. Without complete visibility into every managed container and application request, you can easily overlook gaps in your application’s security as well as malicious activity.
Service experience is more important than the service itself! Successful service experience goes beyond simply delivering the right business outcome. As your user base has all sorts of individuals, it is necessary to make sure that your solution is the perfect fit for all of them. It should satisfy their professional needs in the best possible way and also deliver a service experience that meets the contextual needs and professional expectations of the end-user.
A memory leak in an application deployed on the cloud can affect the availability and reliability of the application. Therefore, it is highly important to identify and ultimately resolve it quickly. However, in the production environment running on the cloud, memory leak detection is a challenge without the knowledge of the application or its internal object allocation details.
