The OpsRamp Monitor captures the latest buzz around what’s trending in the world of ITOps and related technology, and October saw some significant news, including Facebook’s unprecedented outage. Let’s dig in.

Achieving full, 360-degree observability across your entire IT ecosystem and application components can be thwarted by the disconnect between technical monitoring and business outcomes - running the risk of catastrophic service failures.

.NET is a popular open source, cross-platform development framework for building fast and scalable full-stack applications for the web, desktop, mobile, and the cloud. This flexibility makes.NET a leading platform for developing enterprise web applications and makes.NET development one of the most in-demand skills on the market.

Kubernetes 1.23 is about to be released, and it comes packed with novelties! Where do we begin? This release brings 45 enhancements, on par with the 56 in Kubernetes 1.22 and the 50 in Kubernetes 1.21. Of those 45 enhancements, 11 are graduating to Stable, a whopping 15 are existing features that keep improving, and 19 are completely new. The new features included in this version are generally small, but really welcomed. Like the kubectl events command, support for OpenAPI v3, or gRPC probes.

Built on the V8 JavaScript engine of Chrome, Node.js is a very lightweight, open-source framework with minimum modules. And since it is an asynchronous system by default, it is faster than most other frameworks. DevOps still need Node.js monitoring to ensure performance better than other frameworks. In order to understand how relevant Node.js still is, note that PayPal, Reddit, LinkedIn, Amazon, Netflix and other high-use, high-visibility service providers use the framework.

This is a short blog post about a pattern that we’ve observed more frequently among some of the large enterprises: the use of AWS S3 as both an observability lake and a data bus. AWS S3’s simple API, ubiquitous language support, unmatched reliability and durability, retention options, and numerous pricing plans have made it the de facto standard for storing massive amounts of data.

Welcome back to another iteration of “Build Things on Purpose” where we talk with developers and engineers who are creating tools that help us build more reliable systems. Today Itiel Shwartz, CTO and Co-Founder of Komodor, has joined us to chat about what they’re doing to help tame the chaos of Kubernetes. Itiel talks about Komodor’s goal of making troubleshooting Kubernetes not only easy, but potentially even fun!

In this post, we’ll walk through our journey of launching Cribl LogStream Cloud on AWS Graviton instances. In order to put our journey into perspective, it is worth spending a few moments to describe the product and its resource requirements.

Operational monitoring can be like looking down the wrong end of a telescope. There’s no clear picture of the horizon. Everything is blurred, indistinct, and difficult to trace. If you’re relying on traditional, domain-centric monitoring, you’re faced with a similar problem: you can see the performance of individual elements, but you don’t have any visibility into the broader picture.

Written by Microsoft MVP Nick Cavalancia. Earlier this month, Microsoft announced the 2022 rollout of Mesh for Microsoft Teams as the next step in online and virtual collaboration. This seemingly bold step forward into a new type of interaction between individuals is more a natural evolution, taking years of augmented reality research and applying it in a way that provides value to organizations wanting to better collaborate.
