The latest News and Information on Monitoring for Websites, Applications, APIs, Infrastructure, and other technologies.
Uptime Robot can already check the status of servers/devices who have public IPs with its ping and port monitoring feature. Yet, there are many other servers/computers/devices that are inside an intranet (but connected to the internet) and need to be monitored.
What makes synthetic monitoring a crucial tool to measure the customer experience? When I buy something online, it takes about one to three minutes. That time depends on the complexity of forms I encounter, whether I have an account with the retailer, and how easy the site is to navigate. Of course, there are lots of other variables I don’t notice that also affect my buying experience.
Returning from VMworld 2019 a couple weeks ago, one thing was clear: we’re seeing a convergence of IT Operations and DevOps in the marketplace, and with that, an infrastructure transformation which will rely heavily on process and workload automation. But, as we move more and more towards the automated datacenter (private and/or public), it’s important to keep in mind two critical components to make automation successful: data and governance.
Sumo Logic was one of the first in the industry to release a comprehensive set of applications to monitor and secure the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) stack. We are now expanding our support for Anthos. Anthos is Google Cloud’s open source based platform that lets enterprises run apps anywhere on-prem or in the cloud -- simply, flexibly, securely, and consistently.
The history of technology, and Enterprise IT, in particular, is a story of trends colliding with trends. In the case of Kubernetes, we have the intersecting trends of cloud, microservices, and containerization adoption. The orchestration platform born in the juggernaut that is Google has become the focal point for all 3 of these trends. And why do companies care? Because it is life and death.
Oracle’s Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is a service that helps you deploy, manage, and scale Kubernetes clusters in the cloud. With OKE, organizations can build dynamic containerized applications by incorporating Kubernetes with services running on their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We’ve partnered with Oracle so that you can use the Datadog Agent to get comprehensive visibility into your Kubernetes clusters on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Companies around the world are going through digital transformation in some way or another. They are breaking monolithic applications into microservices for more natural development and deployment. Hashicorp Consul is one of the tools helping companies with this transformation. Consul helps with the shift of static infrastructure to dynamic infrastructure through service-based networking instead of host-based.
