Introduction Imagine running a restaurant during lunch hour. Hundreds of customers suddenly arrive, so you quickly bring in more chefs and waiters. When the rush is over, keeping all those extra employees around would be unnecessary and expensive. Applications running on Kubernetes face a similar challenge. At certain times, an application may receive thousands of […]
Overview Scope: This guide covers the Datadog Agent, host metrics, tagging, application logs, APM, AWS/EC2 visibility, dashboards, monitors, synthetic checks, validation and troubleshooting. Container platforms such as ECS/Fargate Datadog Architecture The Datadog Agent runs on a host and collects infrastructure telemetry. Additional configuration enables log collection, application traces and integrations. Datadog then provides a common […]
A note before this starts: I used AI to help write this piece. The observations in it aren’t generated, though — they’re what our DevOps team has actually watched happen over the past while. I’m upfront about the tool because the argument here is that the shift itself is real and lived, even if the […]
Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere now. It helps apps understand text, recognize images, translate languages, and even talk like a human. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers many AI tools that make it easy for companies to add “smart” features to their apps – without needing to build AI models from scratch. In this blog, […]
Introduction Quantum computing represents a fundamentally different approach to computation. Classical computers process information using bits, while quantum computers use qubits and principles such as superposition, entanglement, and interference. At the same time, AI is becoming deeply embedded in business, cloud platforms, finance, healthcare, defense, and everyday applications. The intersection of these technologies could reshape […]
Kubernetes has become the default platform for modern application delivery, but its cost story remains messy. Most teams use Kubecost to instrument cluster spend — and Kubecost does that job well — yet the moment you open the dashboard, you are staring at hundreds of rows of namespace, workload, and resource allocations with very little […]
Integrating AI spend into your FinOps Strategy FinOps has been all about reigning in EC2 sprawl, right sizing S3 storage classes, and finding EBS volume orphans for ten years now. These areas are still very relevant but there is a new area that has emerged at the top of most cloud invoices and for which […]
Introduction When an alarm triggers, a ticket is created in Freshservice, and the on-call team member has to stop everything, open a spreadsheet, find the right person’s name, head to Slack, and tag them. Every single time.It becomes very difficult specially when the team is dealing with multiple alerts, that five step manual process adds […]
Introduction When designing cloud solutions in AWS, one has to make a choice between secure isolation and accessibility. The recommended practice is to place all application servers, databases, and internal API’s in a private subnet and deny their access to the Internet. But then, how can developers, operations engineers, and system administrators access these resources […]
