The Future of IT: Smart Tools, Intelligent Technology
In the last few years, the lines between information technology and development have been blurred. Developers need to know about infrastructure, and administrators need to know how to code. Advances like containerization, orchestration, continuous integration and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) happened in tandem with DevOps’ rise. The advantage of DevOps is that you can quickly build and […]
Web Application Firewalls Aren’t Protecting Cloud-Native Apps
Your web application firewall (WAF) is humming at the edges of your network, faithfully blocking malicious attacks before they can do any harm. Better yet, it’s a next-generation WAF (NG-WAF). It consists of signatures, rules, and a sprinkle of machine learning to protect your applications (and user data) from harm. You’ve got it covered, correct? […]

Automatic Right-Sizing is Magical Thinking
Some months ago, AWS evangelist Corey Quinn wrote a short blog post titled “Right Sizing Your Instances Is Nonsense.” As usual, Corey was spot-on in his takedown of cost-reduction-magic-AI industry hype. But his piece only scratches the surface. I would take the argument a step farther and say that anyone who tells you they can […]

Suddenly, it mattered deeply who was maintaining those services we […]
Three Ways Machine Learning Can Change Incident Management
Incident management for important applications has many connotations, many of them negative. Most are well-deserved. Stress, panic, hurry, urgent, drop-everything, all-hands-on-deck, emergency, to name a few. Typically, there is a critical problem, ranging from complete failure to loss of certain functionality or performance. The problem or outage potentially means loss of revenue, loss of customers, […]
