5 BIG BENEFITS OF CLOUD DEVOPS

Image
Cloud computing and DevOps are both game changing practices in their own right, but together they are a powerhouse of digital transformation. The benefits of using them together accelerate software development significantly as compared with development done in isolation. Industry predictions estimate more than 500 million new apps and services will hit the market within the next two years—almost all of them cloud-native. That’s equal to all the apps and services developed in the past 40 years. Magnified Benefits The inter-dependence of Cloud and DevOps is a potent combination that simplifies development and deployment. A basic element of DevOps is Infrastructure-as-a-Code (IaaS) and this is a fundamental aspect of Cloud computing. IaaS allows developers to provision resources at will to eliminate any inefficiencies associated in conventional infrastructure procurement. The union of Cloud and DevOps thus offers significant benefits; here are the top five Higher  Cost-efficiency Trad...

Six Ways to Optimize your Azure Cloud Costs

Image
One of the biggest reasons of moving to the cloud is reduced costs. But cloud computing can be tricky; failure to correctly assess requirements and identify best-fit services can end up costing an organization a lot more than they may have originally anticipated. If you’re moving to Azure or already have workloads on MS Azure, these are six areas where you can—and should— implement changes to realise significant savings using Azure’s cost-optimization tool, which comes integrated into Azure. It is also a cache for data collection and analysis. There are also other tools that Azure offers to help with your cost optimization and planning, for instance: Azure Advisor, Cloudyn, Azure Budgets, Cost Analysis and Cost Calculator. You can use these tools to monitor resource usage and spending and run comparisons with other cloud environments. The following six best practices have proven to help organizations better leverage their existing resources on Azure and optimize costs. Try them, you ha...

Meeting diverse compliances with a single solution: AWS Config.

Image
Enterprise sized organizations regularly allocate multiple AWS accounts to their various teams. In such an environment it can be a big challenge to keep track of all the accounts and ensure they meet different compliances. AWS Config service is indispensable in helping organizations check, and assess configurations of all these diverse AWS resources. By enabling continuous monitoring & recording of the different configurations AWS Config facilitates evaluations, helping organizations confirm to accepted governance norms. Non-Compliance Problems Without continuous compliance, an organization can experience problems such as inability to scale, or conduct thorough assessments, exhaust compliance events, and receive sub-optimal feedback. Scaling Failure Rapid, real-time changes demand rapid scaling. This is one of the prime benefits of a cloud environment. Lack of compliance, or manual compliance approach sabotages ability to scale rapidly. Inaccurate Assessments Changes are another re...

Increase Value, Agility and Scalability with AWS Serverless

Image
Serverless architecture frees organizations from routine infrastructure management and allows developers to focus on creating code and businesses to focus on meeting strategic goals. By abstracting infrastructure  and application development lifecycles, they provide a simplified environment for application development. AWS leads the race in Serverless with their Serverless platform that pools AWS services to provide end-to-end application development environment allowing developers to build and run applications without the routine management tasks associated with servers. This means businesses using AWS Serverless service now enjoy the following benefits: Enhanced IT agility With no need to spend time and effort in management and configuration of infrastructure, developers are free to focus on core tasks like writing code, building application logic, etc. Eliminates time and effort expended in administration and provisioning of IT resources. Reduces time-to-market and turnaround ti...
