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.

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.

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.

Simplify Your Kubernetes Deployments with ArgoCD and GitOps

In this blog, we’ll discuss how ArgoCD can help you simplify your Kubernetes deployments. ArgoCD is a Kubernetes tool that allows you to automate your deployment process and manage your applications using GitOps. This means that you can define the desired state of your Kubernetes resources as code, and ArgoCD will ensure that your cluster matches this state.

By the end of this blog, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to use ArgoCD to simplify your Kubernetes deployments and streamline your workflows.

Technical Roadblocks in Edtech: Strategies for Success

Knowing the benefits of cloud technology in education is one thing, but making it happen is a whole new ballgame.

A recent report predicts that the edtech industry will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.6% from 2023 to 2030.

That means —

Increased interest to upskill in the comfort of your space and time.
Higher demand for digital content with the benefit of a collaborative space for people of diverse educational backgrounds.
