Ever since UK regulator Ofcom announced its market study into the cloud industry in 2022, there has been cautious optimism about whether this could be a genuine moment of truth for the hyperscalers. On 5 April 2023, we got our answer. In its interim report, Ofcom did not hold back in its criticism of the dominance that the hyperscalers, especially AWS and Microsoft, hold over the industry and the limits and even “harm” this creates for customers.
There are several reasons you may want to route to Amazon S3 destinations, including routing to object storage for archival, routing to S3 buckets to utilize Cribl.Cloud’s Search feature, and archiving data that can be replayed later. When setting up Amazon S3 destinations in Cribl, there are three authentication methods: Auto, Manual, and Secret. Using the Auto authentication method paired with Assume Role is the most secure way to connect Amazon S3 to Cribl.
Are your storage needs increasing faster than your on-premises storage can handle? We explain why cloud storage is actually the safer option – while also saving you money.
Grafana Alerting enables users to create and customize alert rules as separate entities and link them to Grafana panels. It also supports various data sources with built-in alerting engines, such as Prometheus, Grafana Mimir, and Grafana Loki, allowing users to manage their alert rules directly from Grafana’s UI.
Businesses are generating vast amounts of data from various sources, including applications, servers, and networks. As the volume and complexity of this data continue to grow, it becomes increasingly challenging to manage and analyze it effectively. Centralized logging is a powerful solution to this problem, providing a single, unified location for collecting, storing, and analyzing log data from across an organization’s IT infrastructure.
Contrary to Betteridge’s Law of Tabloid Headlines, the answer to the question, "does OpenTelemetry in.NET cause performance degradation?" is yes, but context is important. I get this question so often that I thought it was time to get some stats on it. I’ve heard comments like: I can only assume that these are based on previous versions, or things like OpenTracing / OpenCensus (the heritage frameworks that were the feeders for OpenTelemetry).
As developers, we all seek to build web applications that can scale seamlessly, adapt to changing needs and do so without incurring excessive costs. One way to achieve this is by migrating web applications to AWS Lambda, which can provide scalability, flexibility, and cost savings. To make this process even easier, AWS provides the Lambda web adapter, a simple and efficient tool that enables you to migrate your web apps quickly.
Within enterprises, it used to be that applications ran on a single server. Owners could directly monitor that discrete machine, conveniently access all the logs they needed, see all the metrics that mattered, and hit the reboot button, without needing to confer with “everyone.” Those days are gone. Modern application architectures stretch the definitions of the words “federated” and “distributed.” We now have distributed applications.
