Cloud testing, in simple terms, means testing software applications using the resources provided by the cloud. Resources can be any element i.e., hardware, software, or infrastructure which are necessary to carry out tests. Cloud testing helps an organization gain competitiveness by reducing the cost of testing.

Log monitoring, log analysis, and log analytics are more important than ever as organizations adopt more cloud-native technologies, containers, and microservices-based architectures. Driving this growth is the increasing adoption of hyperscale cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP) and containerized microservices running on Kubernetes.

If you replicate from one server to the next, are you replicating what you need? Take some to check how the server is being accessed, as you do not want a project to use the root access for all queries. Check the versions of database connectors, programming languages, and proceed all the way down to the operating system.

One initial, easy step to moving your SQL Server on-premises workloads to the cloud is using Azure VMs to run your SQL Server workloads in an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) scenario. You will still have to maintain your operating system, SQL Server and databases just like you would in an on-premises scenario.

Do you have a web server? Great, your system was ready to be deployed. Once the system was deployed, to ensure everything was running smoothly, it only took a couple of simple checks to verify.

A modern commodity server can contain up to 1TB of RAM, and Lambda functions can use as little as 128MB. So you need up to 8000 functions on a server to fill the RAM (more in practice due to soft allocation). The memory overhead is very low, at around 3MB per MicroVM (compared to 13MB for Cloud Hypervisor, and 131MB for QEMU).

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error.

Load averages are an industry-critical metric – my company spends millions auto-scaling cloud instances based on them and other metrics – but on Linux there's some mystery around them. They can be also useful when a single value of demand is desired, such as for a cloud auto scaling rule. I've never seen an explanation.
