Network monitoring and alerting provide the foundation for efficient IT operations and cyber resilience. By keeping track of the status and performance of network infrastructure and applications, network monitoring tools can automatically generate alerts when defined thresholds are exceeded or specific events occur. These network monitoring alerts allow IT teams to detect outages, performance degradation, and potential security incidents so they can respond swiftly to minimize disruption.

Incompatible hardware is a common cause of application failures for distributed teams. Most teams depend on containerization tools like Docker to prevent these failures. But is there any way to automate the deployment of Docker images more efficiently and intuitively? In this article, I will show you how simple it is to do this by combining CircleCI and Microsoft Azure to build a CI/CD pipeline for a Dockerized Spring Boot project.
