How observability helps IT protect modern environments As dynamic systems architectures increase in complexity and scale, IT teams face mounting pressure to track and respond to issues across their multicloud environments. Causes can run the gamut, from coding errors and database slowdowns to hosting or network performance issues.

To get a better understanding of AWS serverless, we’ll first explore the basics of serverless architectures, review AWS serverless offerings, and explore common use cases. Serverless architecture: A primer. Serverless architecture shifts application hosting functions away from local servers onto those managed by providers.

The strongest Kubernetes growth areas are security, databases, and CI/CD technologies. On-premises data centers invest in higher capacity servers since they provide more flexibility in the long run, while the procurement price of hardware is only one of many cost factors. Kubernetes is emerging as the “operating system” of the cloud.
