How MSPs Can Maximize Network Observability: 3 Keys to Success

In today’s increasingly dynamic digital world, the need for end-to-end network visibility has never been more critical. These requirements are especially profound for managed service providers (MSPs) and communications service providers (CSPs). MSPs and CSPs find themselves at the epicenter of digital transformation.

Deploy The ELK Stack on Kubernetes with Helm

The main objective of the ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) is to aggregate logs. However, with the increased usage of ELK and Kubernetes as a pairing the solution can go beyond the aggregation of standard logs and include monitoring and analysis of Kubernetes telemetry data. Therefore, more users are looking at deploying the ELK stack on Kubernetes. Yet, deploying the ELK stack on Kubernetes can be a complex task but with the assistance of Helm charts, the process is much simpler.

Internal vs External APIs - What is the Difference?

APIs are an important part of modern software development, allowing communication between different systems and services. However, not all APIs are the same. Internal APIs and external APIs have different purposes and characteristics that affect their management and security needs. In this article, we will look at the main differences between internal and external APIs, focusing on their definitions, purposes, advantages, and disadvantages.

The Cost Crisis in Metrics Tooling
