Implementing distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry helps track requests across services, providing insights into performance and pinpointing issues.

SNMP monitoring is crucial for tracking network device performance, helping optimize and secure your network with real-time insights.

In modern microservice architectures, requests often span multiple services, making it challenging to monitor and debug performance issues. Distributed tracing provides the ability to follow a request’s journey through these services, identifying performance bottlenecks and dependencies. The W3C trace context standard simplifies this process by introducing two critical headers: traceparent and tracestate.

Amazon has heard FinOps practitioners’ cries asking for new AI tools, and the answer is Titan and AWS Bedrock. These new tools provide the same generative AI abilities of generating images like expected from DALL-E, operating like a Large Language Model (LLM) like ChatGPT, and even transcribing audio to text. But how do these new tools compare to pre-existing ones like Azure’s OpenAI? Most importantly, which of these tools is the best financial investment for your organization?

This article is part of a series on setting up an end-to-end monitoring and alerting stack using Prometheus. Continuing our series on setting Prometheus in a Docker container, we will add a Grafana instance to our Prometheus setup. Please refer to the previous article where we use docker compose to run Prometheus and Alertmanager together as that forms the basis to run multiple related containers. We will add a container to run Grafana to the same compose file in this article.

Network automation through DevOps practices has revolutionized IT infrastructure and configuration management, enabling faster deployments and improved operational efficiency. However, as networks grow more complex and diverse, solely relying on an in-house DevOps team can leave gaps in critical areas like compliance, security, and scalability. This is where Network Configuration Manager becomes indispensable.
