Background

As more businesses continue to adopt the cloud for their IT infrastructure, the demand for cloud services, especially Amazon Web Services (AWS), has grown rapidly. AWS provides a vast array of services to help businesses manage their cloud infrastructure, and with AWS subscription management, businesses can efficiently manage their cloud resources and scale up or down based on demand.

Microsoft Azure provides a scalable public cloud platform with a substantial range of different Virtual Machine configurations that enable it to be used to host many different types of application and makes it a suitable choice for businesses who want a cost effective, secure, and flexible cloud environment that can evolve to meet their changing needs.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a range of cloud tools that allow your business to develop a secure virtualisation environment using public cloud technology. Using AWS gives you access to a range of configurability options that allow you to tailor the infrastructure to the specific needs of your organisation and application to deliver exceptional performance.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) promises significant advantages, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. Whether the advantages outweigh the challenges largely depends on the context in which it is implemented. Read more for a balanced analysis:

In contrast, Microsoft Azure shows significant growth in both revenue and new user acquisition, accompanied by higher profit margins. The CMA is also investigating potential competitive barriers, such as Microsoft's software licensing practices and data egress fees.

As Software as a Service (SaaS) continues to grow as a business model, DevOps teams are increasingly used in isolation within a business to deliver seamless, scalable, and secure services. Often, some of the supporting functions are scaled back or removed to focus on DevOps and faster feature delivery.

However, implementing effective DevOps for your business has its challenges. Here we explore the top five challenges faced by SaaS DevOps teams and strategies to overcome them.

If you are running infrastructure in AWS or Azure then it seems pretty obvious that as a CEO or IT Manager then you would want to full-stack observability. But most cloud teams only have elements of this provided by the cloud provider.
