Cloud Cost Estimation with Infracost

Introduction

Estimating costs can be a nightmare for many enterprises. Cloud cost estimation is important for organizations to plan their budget and forecast expenses accurately. It is essential to monitor and analyze cloud usage regularly to optimize cloud spending and avoid unexpected expenses.

This process is very time-consuming, so there was a need for change. With Terraform, you can easily estimate cloud costs by leveraging Infracost, and you can easily compare potential bills between different vendors.

Working with cloud providers and DevOps is all about speed, efficiency, and cost management.

Infracost is a tool that is used to figure out how much the cloud resources will cost.

What is Infracost?

Infracost is a super cool tool that lets you calculate the cost of your Terraform resources on AWS, GCP, or Microsoft Azure before you even hit deploy. This enables you to see cloud cost estimates for Terraform in pull requests.

Unlocking the Power of AIOps

In today’s complex and rapidly evolving IT landscape, organizations face increasing challenges in managing their IT operations. The sheer volume of data and the need for real-time insights require a paradigm shift in how IT operations are approached. Here is how AIOps comes into the picture. AIOps is the transformative fusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and IT Operations.

The estimated market size for AIOps is $1.5 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 15% between 2020 and 2025.

Here, in this blog, we embark on a journey to unlock the power of AIOps and explore how it revolutionizes IT operations management. From automating routine tasks to predicting and preventing incidents, AIOps do it all. AIOps platforms have the potential to reshape the way organizations monitor, manage and optimize their  IT infrastructure.

We will delve into the fundamental concepts of AIOps implementation and also highlight its benefits. After reading this article, you’ll know how AIOps platforms leverage AI and machine learning to analyze vast amounts of data from various sources, such as logs, metrics and events. By harnessing this data-driven intelligence, AIOps helps IT teams proactively detect anomalies, identify root causes and take swift action to mitigate risks.

Azure CDN

How it works?

Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a CDN service provided by Azure Cloud Platform that enables storing and accessing data on different content servers and locations – used by online or cloud services.  A CDN store the content cached on the edge servers that are available in the POP locations to reduce latency. Azure CDN is important for us which requires multiple hits to boost up the process of our applications.

Benefits of using Azure CDN –

  • Better performance and improved user experience for end users
  • Large scaling to better handle instant high loads
  • Distribution of user requests and serving of content directly from edge servers so that less traffic gets sent to the origin server.

Hybrid Cloud vs Multi-Cloud Management: Which Offers Greater Flexibility and Scalability?

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses operate, offering unparalleled scalability, flexibility and cost-efficiency. As organizations increasingly embrace cloud technology, they are confronted with various cloud migration techniques, deployment models and management strategies to meet their unique needs. Two prominent approaches in this domain are Hybrid Cloud Management and Multi-Cloud Management.

Here, in this blog, we will explore the key differences between Hybrid Cloud Management and Multi-Cloud Management. So, let’s dive into the world of Hybrid Cloud Management and Multi-Cloud Management, unravel their differences and unlock the potential of cloud computing in today’s dynamic business landscape.

 

What is Hybrid Cloud Management?

Hybrid cloud management refers to the practices, tools and strategies involved in effectively managing and controlling a hybrid cloud environment. It encompasses the tasks and processes required to integrate, monitor, secure and optimize the hybrid cloud infrastructure.

To effectively manage a hybrid cloud environment, organizations may utilize various hybrid cloud implementation tools, automation solutions and cloud management platforms that provide centralized control and visibility across the hybrid infrastructure. These tools help streamline operations, improve efficiency and simplify the management complexities associated with hybrid cloud environments.

How to Setup SSO in Jenkins?

Introduction

Providing OAuth 2.0 user authentication directly or using Google+ Sign-in helps us to achieve a modern authentication method. It also provides a trusted and secure login system that’s familiar to users, consistent across devices, and removes the burden of users having to remember another username and password. One of the hurdles in implementing a Gmail authentication is that the Google developer console and your  Jenkins server should be in the same network or in simple terms they can talk to each other.

What is SSO ?

SSO stands for Single Sign-On, which is a method of authentication that allows users to access multiple applications and services with a single set of login credentials.

With SSO, users are only required to enter their login credentials once, and they can then access all the applications and services that are part of the SSO system. This simplifies the authentication process, improves user experience, and reduces the risk of security breaches.
