Kubernetes is a popular open-source container orchestration platform. It is highly configurable and feature-rich, but it also requires a deep understanding of containerization. When you are running Kubernetes in production, you need to account for cluster monitoring and logging, governance, and security. In this article, you will learn about Kubernetes security, including pro tips to help you handle architecture concerns, dependencies, and container vulnerabilities.

Networks today span the world and provide many connections between geographically disparate data centers, and public and private clouds. This creates a variety of network management problems. If your network is not working properly, it can be very difficult or even impossible to get the most productive or correct operation of your applications. A sophisticated network requires constant monitoring using the right tools and creating a network performance monitoring strategy.

When you set up on-premise digital infrastructure, it is crucial to enable your devices to communicate with each other. The devices on your network should be able to send and receive data packets to handle requests and send responses back to callers. One of the components that allow data transmission to the proper destination is the network switch. The network switch plays an important role in distributing data packets to devices.

There’s a new term on the technology block: Applied Observability. Gartner estimates that 70% of organizations will successfully adopt applied observability capabilities in coming years. The most common use cases of applied observability will include: But exactly what is applied observability? We’ve got the answers and more here for you to get a full understanding. Read on!

Today, everyone wants data to drive decision-making. Product analytics has emerged as a crucial tool for businesses to optimize their products and create exceptional customer experiences. In fact, 64% of respondents in one survey have achieved their goals through product analytics. But what exactly is product analytics, and how can it benefit your organization?

When you send an email or load a website, you probably never think about how the data gets from your computer to the server that needs to process it. But something does have to decide how the data will move across the vast expanse of the Internet – and, in particular, which of the virtually infinite number of potential routes your data will take as it moves from your device to a server and back again.

One of the value propositions of Upsun is to offer greener hosting. By choosing cloud hosting instead of on-premise hosting, you are selecting a greener way to host your applications and websites. In addition, when creating a project, you have the option to choose the greenest region to host it. How?

In a recent meetup I hosted alongside Kunal Kushwaha, we discussed Cilium, an eBPF-powered open-source cloud-native networking solution that offers security, observability, scalability, and superior performance. Throughout this blog I will explore how the increased usage of Kubernetes has led to the need for advanced networking, security, and observability solutions. This will allow us to take a closer look at how Cilium can benefit Kubernetes users.

Firewall systems are critical for protecting your network and devices from unauthorized traffic. There are several types of firewalls that you can deploy for your environment via hardware, software, or the cloud—and they all typically fall under one of two categories: network-based or host-based. Network-based firewalls monitor and filter traffic to and from your network, whereas host-based firewalls manage traffic to and from a specific host, such as a laptop.

Companies using Zoom and Microsoft Teams as their real-time employee collaboration solution have access from their vendor(s) to the call and session data telemetry gathered by their solutions via a vendor-supplied API. But is this enough for effective management of collaboration tool performance in the enterprise digital workplace?
