Introduction vSphere HA is a fundamental and frequently used feature of vSphere. If any of several failure scenarios occur, it restarts a virtual machine. The failure scenarios range from VM or host crashes to unresponsive hosts (for example, due to network isolation or outage). Translating vSphere High Availability (HA) to the public cloud can be […]

This blog is the second part to a 2 part series on how to secure your Amazon API Gateway with Amazon Cognito, in machine to machine (M2M) communication use cases. In the previous blog post, we dove deep into the different use cases involving M2M communication and how it contributes to business modernization, and why […]

Introduction When we think about modernization, we’re used to think about the process of breaking down a monolithic application, or moving to a microservices architecture. But let’s think for a moment on the business side. For example, think about the challenges and risks involved in moving information over phone calls or emails. We want to […]

Introduction Technologies such as machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and Generative AI (GenAI) unlock a new era of efficient and sustainable manufacturing while empowering the workforce. Areas where AI can be applied in manufacturing include predictive maintenance, defect detection, supply chain visibility, demand forecasting, product design, and many more. Benefits include improving uptime and […]

Load testing is an integral step in the quality assurance phase of a software development lifecycle, that offers you confidence about the performance of your workload before it is deployed to production. Once that workload moves to production, you monitor its health using synthetic monitoring. Load testing and synthetic monitoring typically test the same application […]

Customers build, deploy, and maintain millions of web applications on AWS and many customers deploy these applications using the Apache web application server. Web application performance is a key metric in modern enterprise applications. On AWS customers leverage Amazon CloudWatch to monitor response times, uptime, and provide SLAs. Engineering teams that run large scale applications […]

As machine learning models grow more advanced, they require extensive computing power to train efficiently. Many organizations are turning to GPU-accelerated Kubernetes clusters for both model training and online inference. However, properly monitoring GPU usage is critical for machine learning engineers and cluster administrators to understand model performance and to optimize infrastructure utilization. Without visibility […]

Some of my customers need assistance while operating their Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) infrastructure. They need to: Review the disk usage of various volumes/ disks within an EC2 instance. To do it in a scalable way, one does not need to access the instance either through a Remote Desktop Session (RDP) or use […]
