In this series, we’ve been exploring the different layers of business value you can gain from deploying software more frequently. We’ve already looked at the hard costs you can save, and the valuable developer time you can recoup. But that’s not the end of the story. Not by far. Picture an iceberg. The top, the visible part, is those hard costs. Just beneath the surface is that time that can be gained by redeploying wasted time to projects that matter.

In my last blog I took a look at some of what I see as the most obvious signs that your MSP business might have outgrown its RMM. These included: In this blog, I’m going to turn my attention to looking at some of the less obvious signs to reconsider your RMM.

Prometheus metrics are usually visualized as numeric values on a graph, with the metrics categorized by labels. But what do you do when the numerical value doesn’t matter, and all of the information is in the labels? In that case, you might need to visualize the labels themselves. This scenario can arise because you’re not always in control of how the metrics get reported, but you do often need to visualize what’s there.

With the current financial climate, cost reduction is top of mind for everyone. IT is one of the biggest cost centers in organizations, and understanding what drives those costs is critical. Many simply don’t understand the cost of their Kubernetes workloads, or even have observability into basic units of cost. This is where FinOps comes into play, and organizations are beginning to implement those best practice standards to understand their cost.

Prometheus is one the the most acclaimed solutions for Kubernetes monitoring. There are multiple add-ons and exporters that facilitate the task of pulling Kubernetes metrics. Sysdig Monitor is a cloud-native observability platform that helps businesses with the whole observability lifecycle. It provides simplicity at all times, allowing companies to rapidly pull their Kubernetes and Prometheus metrics without headaches.

We have added reports to Risk Spotlight – Risk Spotlight can show you which packages with vulnerabilities are currently in use in a running container across your whole Kubernetes environment.

Main Distribution Frames (MDF) and Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDF) are integral components of modern data communication networks. Buildings or campus facilities have one or more MDFs which are the demarcation points where public or private telecommunication networks interconnect with the internal network. The MDF then connects to any number of IDFs in the building, and the devices in those IDFs connect to end devices such as workstations.

There is always something new on the horizon when it comes to technology. Isn’t it human nature to want to wait for the next 'new' model car, the next 'bigger' TV or the next 'faster' smart phone? The newest release might be more appealing – especially to higher-ups, who want the latest and greatest trending technology. But there are hidden risks associated with waiting to implement a new tool or solution.

Reliable SSL monitoring is crucial to every website and online service. Without it, you can lose customers, profits, and even your position in search engine rankings. But which SSL certificate monitoring is the best?
