Think of containers as the packaging for microservices that separate the content from its environment – the underlying operating system and infrastructure. Networking. This is essential for operators to understand the health and behavior of the container infrastructure as well as the applications running in it.

If your app runs in a public cloud, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the provider secures the infrastructure, while you’re responsible for security measures within applications and configurations. What are some key characteristics of securing cloud applications?

Organizations can offload much of the burden of managing app infrastructure and transition many functions to the cloud by going serverless with the help of Lambda. You will likely need to write code to integrate systems and handle complex tasks or incoming network requests. Optimizing Lambda for performance.

There was a time when standing up a website or application was simple and straightforward and not the complex networks they are today. Web developers or administrators did not have to worry or even consider the complexity of distributed systems of today. Great, your system was ready to be deployed. Do you have a database?

This includes latency, which is a major determinant in evaluating the reliability and performance of your Redis® instance, CPU usage to assess how much time it spends on tasks, operations such as reading/writing data from disk or network I/O, and memory utilization (also known as memory metrics).

The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. The next layer is operating system platforms, what flavor of Linux, what version of Windows etc. Above that there’s a deployment platform such as Kubernetes or AWS Lambda.

This tradeoff is unacceptable to public infrastructure providers, who need both strong security and minimal overhead. The ideal isolation solution would have the following properties: Strong isolation (multiple functions on the same hardware, protected against privilege escalation, information disclosure, covert channels, and other risks).

DevOps is not a single system, rather it is a combination of many processes – testing, deployment, production, etc – thus, it’s better termed as a ‘distributed infrastructure’. Cloud-based solutions are extremely cheap when compared to building and maintaining a DevOps infrastructure on-premise. Cost-Saver.

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.

Developers work with tools that tend to be deterministic: compilers, linkers, operating systems are complex beasts, certainly, but we think of them as more or less deterministic: if we give them the same inputs, we generally expect the same outputs. It’s just an operating system or networking bug.
