In our blog series, we’ve debunked the following observability myths so far: Part 1: You can skip monitoring and rely solely on logs Part 2: Observability is built exclusively for SREs Part 3: Observability is only relevant and beneficial for large-scale systems or complex architectures Part 4: Observability is always expensive In this post, we’ll tackle another fallacy […]

MQTT, an acronym for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, is a lightweight, publish-subscribe network protocol that transports messages between devices. It was designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks. The design principles are to minimize network bandwidth and device resource requirements while ensuring reliability and some degree of assurance of delivery. MQTT is […]

We launched the memory optimized Amazon EC2 R6a instances in July 2022 powered by 3rd Gen AMD EPYC (Milan) processors, running at frequencies up to 3.6 GHz. Many customers who run workloads that are dependent on x86 instructions, such as SAP, are looking for ways to optimize their cloud utilization. They’re taking advantage of the […]

The challenge, however, is that many teams operate in siloes that inhibit them […]

Today we’re announcing general availability of the Amazon EC2 R7iz instances. R7iz instances are the fastest 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable-based (Sapphire Rapids) instances in the cloud with 3.9 GHz sustained all-core turbo frequency. R7iz instances are suitable for workloads where there’s a requirement for more memory to process additional data, larger sizes of instances […]

The effects of climate change grow more tangible by the day. As a result, the electric power industry is hastening efforts to reduce environmental impact. To do so, they need help to get a clearer picture of where they fall on the emissions reduction roadmap, and to better understand their opportunities for improvement. This is […]

While organizations remain focused on trying to extract more insight and value out from their data, they are trying to use services in multiple clouds. This becomes a challenge: data is sprawled everywhere, and that can negatively impact competitiveness. It requires a rethinking of how to architect for the public cloud, and Derek Pilling, Chief […]
