This delivers a better user experience without the need for managing separate sets of credentials.

A seamless employee experience requires the workflow of user onboarding and offboarding requires integration between HR systems, ITSM tools, cloud resources, identity and access control, and intelligent automation. To address these common needs, Relevance Lab worked closely with AWS to create an intelligent automation solution using RLCatalyst, ServiceNow, and Jira Service Desk. In this post, walk through the workflow and learn about this solution for automated user onboarding and offboarding.

AppDynamics (part of Cisco) is an application and business performance monitoring solution that allows you to prioritize your workflows with unified visibility, ensuring your cloud-native apps deliver business value in production. AppDynamics can now retrieve data from Amazon CloudWatch metrics via an AWS metric retrieval API endpoint called GetMetricData, enabling you to pull as many as 500 different metrics in a single request, with a total of 100,800 data points per call.

Learn how image scanning implemented at various points of the container and Kubernetes lifecycle can provide you with critical insights to ensure security and compliance, without impacting the flexibility you need to build and run your applications. Built on open source, the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform enables cloud teams to secure build pipelines, detect runtime threats, validate compliance, and monitor performance.

When moving workloads to AWS, one of the most important considerations is connectivity. With the goal of delivering the best application experience, AWS and Citrix collaborate on many different solutions. Citrix SD-WAN provides a unique combination of proactive application traffic management, end to end. Learn how to architect a scalable SD-WAN solution with the new AWS Transit Gateway Connect attachment and streamline the deployment with Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator.

Though Kubernetes has helped accelerate application delivery and improved the agility of developers, it’s not without its challenges. Organizations are often restricted in their ability to leverage Kubernetes from their own lack of knowledge and limited talent available to their development and infrastructure teams. Learn how Rancher and Amazon EKS together make it easier for users looking to adopt a cloud-native strategy for their infrastructure.

Many SaaS applications boast of microservices as a means to divide a monolithic architecture into easily manageable solutions. Sometimes these microservices have their own databases. To maintain data consistency across the system, you need to implement a data synchronization system between source and target data persistence layers. Learn how Trantor has developed a solution using Amazon AppFlow to easily synchronize the data between Salesforce and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL in near real-time.
