Log Management Best Practices
Following best-in-class logging practices can provide your team with better visibility into application and infrastructure performance data, helping to reduce mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR).

Cloud Native is the New Normal
It seems that everyone’s talking about “cloud native” — distributed systems, microservices, containers, serverless computing, and other emerging technologies and architectures. It’s clear that we’ve quickly evolved from the cloud age to the cloud native age. Are you ready and able to succeed in this new era?

The 451 Take on Cloud-Native: Truly Transformative for Enterprise IT
Microservices. Kubernetes. Service mesh. Serverless. These “cloud native” technologies are becoming an essential part of digital transformation efforts for modern enterprise IT.

There is an old adage in carpentry that you should measure a board twice before you make a cut so you can limit the need to make a second cut correcting a mistake.

7 Requirements for Monitoring Cloud Apps and Infrastructure
Cloud computing changes everything, and application and infrastructure monitoring are hardly exceptions. The flexibility, scale, services, and pay-as-you-go pricing options provided by modern cloud platforms—Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and tools like Pivotal among them—have completely changed how companies architect their applications as well as how they deploy the corresponding infrastructure.
