5 Things to Know about Network Monitoring in a Cloud-Centric World
The move to cloud computing has significant repercussions for network management. Cloud computing environments are dynamic, so your tools need to be dynamic as well.
Download this white paper to learn about five best practices for cloud monitoring including:
- Focusing on service monitoring of your own applications instead of network monitoring
- Monitoring within the cloud for service outages and external to the cloud for WAN connectivity problems
- Creating visualizations of how an application is working within the public cloud, your internal network, SaaS environments, and the underlying infrastructure
- Using automation to respond to changes in application load
- Implementing a monitoring platform that is integrated with—yet independent of—the cloud vendor

Embedding security into your cloud-native pipeline
In today’s modern software factories, organizations are shifting security to the left. No longer just the purview of firewalls, security needs to be built in during development and deployment processes. By doing so, organizations can ensure they are limiting vulnerabilities getting into production while cutting costs of both downtime and code rework. Learn about:
- How to ensure that the use of open source doesn’t introduce vulnerabilities and other security risks
- How to automate delivery of trusted images using a policy-driven approach
- Empowering developers to secure their applications, while maintaining segregation of duties
- Ensuring the consistent flow of images through the pipeline, with no side-doors or introduction of unvetted images
- Enforcing immutability of containers, preventing container-image drift

Managing the Performance of Applications in the Microservices Era
Organizations in a wide range of industries are rapidly adopting microservices because of the promise of greater agility and scalability. However, managing the performance of microservices-based applications introduces new challenges. Gartner stated in a recent report that traditional APM tools which were purpose-built for monoliths aren’t well suited to the dynamism, modularity, and scale of microservices-based applications.
During this webinar Tyler Wells, Director of Engineering at Twilio and Dennis Chu, Director of Product Marketing at LightStep share their insights about how to effectively manage the performance of microservices-based applications. You’ll learn how Twilio was able to:
- Reduce the mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 92%
- Analyze all of the company’s performance data generated by more than 40 core services without adding overhead
- Launch segmented and detailed performance monitoring for each top customer including customer-specific root cause analysis

How Connectivity Management Solves Challenges in the Evolving IoT Landscape
Improved efficiency, reduced cost, and new revenue streams are the promised benefits of IoT deployments. To attain these results, connectivity management comes to the forefront, providing the ability to effectively connect, monitor, and manage multiple devices spread out over diverse areas.
Connectivity management, regardless of the number of devices or the amount of data transmitted, must be simplified for cost and efficiencies. The solution comes via a single platform, one that simplifies the connectivity management process, includes heightened security, and enables performance optimizations and cost controls.
In this webinar we look into the issues, the challenges, and the benefits of an evolving IoT landscape. We then then provide insights to solutions and growth in this sector.

4 Steps to a Successful Cloud Journey
Many organizations understand the benefits of cloud computing, but their journey has been done in an ad hoc manner. There is, however, much to consider before moving to the cloud, such as choosing one cloud or multiple clouds to run on, or adopting a hybrid on-premises/cloud strategy.
Some numbers:
56% of F5 survey respondents say their cloud decisions are made on a per-application, case-by-case basis
42% say applying consistent security across all company applications was a challenge.
