Remote teams that work on dependent products face resource crunches and delays. When several teams work on interrelated projects, the chances are high that they will soon end up meeting at some point where they have to wait for resource release from another team or teams. 

For instance, when team A wants an update to an app currently maintained by Team B, they would want to automatically access the latest version of the app whenever a  new bug is fixed and an update is made. A simple single-tenant cloud solution may not be the right fit here. 

You would need the help of a scalable multi-tenant solution to make software deployments, testing, and development work seamlessly, no matter how big or small your teams would be. Here is a brief guide on how you can make the best use of multi-tenancy for increased productivity and efficient workflow in your team. 

There’s a lot of talk about serverless computing lately, especially with the big tech giants investing in the idea and offering exclusive products built on it. But is it just a buzzword, or does it have the potential to become the next big thing in technology? 

Cloud computing was once a buzzword, too, one may argue. But that buzzword ended up revolutionizing the whole industry, with 90 percent of companies now using cloud hosting. Serverless is the next step in that movement, one that’s poised to grow exponentially over the next few years. A survey by Cloud Foundry Foundation of 250 companies showed 22 percent of them were using serverless technology. 

What is Serverless?

Serverless or, as it’s technically called, serverless computing is an execution model of cloud-based computing where the cloud provider dynamically assigns resources and storage. It basically runs pieces of code as functions rather than whole applications. And the client is charged only for the actual resources used. 

IT Infrastructure Monitoring has evolved beyond imagination over the last decade and continues to, courtesy of new technology. It’s not focused on IT elements anymore, as Infrastructure & Operations (I&O) is becoming more business-centric. That also gives rise to challenges for IT leaders who need to adapt at a quick pace. 

It’s not news that infrastructure monitoring is extremely important for the health of any enterprise. But the changing trends point out that adaptability may just be even more important. Of course, cloud computing is playing a huge role in this, as it is in virtually every industry. 

Top IT Infrastructure Monitoring Trends 2020

For those responsible for infrastructure monitoring, it’s vital to stay on top of the latest trends and to adopt the new technology. Part of that transition is adopting IT monitoring tools that are up-to-date with the changing scenario in the industry. 

As a concept, observability has been a relatively recent entrant into the world of information technology and cloud technology. The idea originated initially from controls system engineering. Observability refers to the concept of inferring the internal status of the system based on the outputs derived from the same. 

This is the conventional definition of observability. When the same idea is applied to the realm of cloud computing and information technology, some of the technicalities change while the core remains the same. Let’s find out more about how it works in IT and cloud computing.
