Why microservices needs AIOps

Source:- itproportal.com Microservices – a legitimate trend or just hype? Undoubtedly microservices are part of a legitimate trend, they are a specific instance of a more general trend towards making IT systems more modular and independent. As a consequence of modularisation, there is also a desire within IT to miniaturise components – in essence, building applications with less code and less functionality. Historically, system components would be around for years. However, due to the nature of microservices they now only

How to improve DevOps value with containers and microservices

Can IT admins benefit from a DevOps environment?

Source- searchdatacenter.techtarget.com If DevOps is implemented poorly, it increases the pressure on admins to deal with uncontrolled code rollouts in the operational environment, which can drain hardware resources and increase troubleshooting time. However, a good DevOps environment with all the right checks and balances in place reduces the number of mind-numbing tasks that admins face, and it provides more time for interesting, value-add tasks that help the business. DevOps also gives admins oversight of developers. Powerful DevOps tools place all the correct filters

Microservices: How to prep DevOps teams

Source- enterprisersproject.com The first reaction non-development IT people have when seeing their company’s microservice is very similar to a parent looking at their child’s art. “Oh!
