Kentik Bytes - Cloud Network Performance Metrics

Aug 19, 2024 By Kentik In Kentik
Phil Gervasi introduces a quick and easy way to see network performance metrics among multiple cloud instances. Synthetic tests can be deployed in multiple public clouds to test for loss, latency, and jitter among public cloud instances, such as between AWS and Azure. Phil demonstrates the ability to adjust the time range and shows inbound and outbound traffic, average latency, packet loss, and jitter. A spike in any of these metrics would trigger an alert tied to the ticketing system. He also shows the ability to click into the path view between cloud instances to see a hop-by-hop breakdown.

Kentik Bytes - Identifying Idle Cloud Resources

Aug 19, 2024 By Kentik In Kentik
Phil Gervasi introduces a method for identifying idle resources in AWS using the Kentik platform. By selecting dimensions such as Logging Status, Observing VPC ID, and Observing Region, users can filter the data to determine if a resource is actually doing anything from a network perspective. “No Data” messages indicate resources with no network activity, and a more specific filter can be created based on this message to isolate idle resources. By adjusting the time frame and observing bits per second, users can determine how long resources have been idle.

aNN vs kNN: Understand their differences and roles in vector search

Aug 19, 2024 By Elastic Platform Team In Elastic
In today's digital era — where data grows exponentially and becomes increasingly complex — the ability to efficiently search and analyze this vast ocean of information has never been more important. But it's also never been more challenging. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack but with the added challenge of the needle constantly changing its form. This is where vector search emerges as a game-changer, changing how we interact with large data sets.

Aligning Business and Engineering Goals with Honeycomb SLOs

Aug 19, 2024 By Priscilla Lam In Honeycomb
Setting clear, measurable goals is essential for any successful team. However, aligning those goals with the technical work can be challenging in the fast-paced world of software engineering. Engineers might focus on reducing latency or improving uptime, while business leaders look at revenue and customer satisfaction. It gets tricky to track the impact between the two to justify when specific engineering initiatives are important, why, and how they impact the bottom line.

What are networks? Part 2: Network devices and why we need to monitor them

Aug 19, 2024 By Rama Venkatesan In Site24x7
In an era dominated by GenAI technologies, the critical role of robust network infrastructure—the backbone of AI's expansive capabilities—often remains in the shadows. At the heart of this infrastructure lies an intricate array of network devices, including routers, switches, modems, firewalls, wireless access points, etc. These devices, each serving a distinct yet interconnected role, collectively ensure the seamless transmission of data across the network.
