Many non-human identities – workloads in the cloud, service accounts in IT systems, autonomous agents in AI applications – are poorly managed or not managed at all. We present a strategic, holistic approach to managing these identities.
Prometheus is the standard application when it comes to monitoring, alerting, and trending, but the software is slow when faced with a large volume of historical data. Cortex comes to the rescue and offers cluster support, as well.
Formerly a hobbyist project, Uptime Kuma has developed into one of today's most popular open source monitoring tools in just a few years.
Learn how to manage, automate, and perform diagnostics with Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, which also supports Azurite storage integration, shared access signature management, and error analysis.
Orchestrating API-first agents and local vector stores on constrained hardware without GPUs.
IPv6-mostly networks primarily use IPv6 for communication but also support IPv4 as a fallback, simplifying address management, reducing the load on the IPv4 infrastructure, and allowing IPv6-only and IPv4-enabled endpoints to coexist on the same network. We describe transition mechanisms that facilitate the operation of an IPv6-mostly network and the few technical hurdles to overcome.
Java's memory management has quite a steep learning curve when you are tasked with operating a Java Virtual Machine efficiently in production. We guide you through the waters of keeping applications up and running and what signals to look for to prevent crashes.
The Azure Firewall network security service combines threat protection, packet filtering, and application firewalling for cloud workloads in a platform-based offering.
