The Observability Dilemma: To SaaS or Not to SaaS, That is the Question!

Enterprises worldwide are adopting more selective stances toward their cloud solutions, with a greater emphasis on meeting strategic business goals and increasing flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This shift involves more rigorous evaluations of ROI and, in situations where the ROI is inadequate, uprooting cloud-based applications, workloads, and data from the cloud back to local infrastructure – a process known as cloud repatriation.  

Cloud repatriation is driven by several factors, including security, compliance, performance, and internal policies. However, the number one reason for cloud repatriation is cost. This session will cover the five most important steps you can take to optimize your cloud spend before taking the drastic step of repatriation.  

In this session, you’ll learn how to:
• Right-size and match the instance types and sizes to your specific workloads while including spot, reserved, and standard instances in your analysis 
• Enable smart autoscaling and microservices to enable workloads to dynamically adjust consumption on demand 
• Be vigilant for unused resources since you must pay for everything running in the cloud, even if unused or unattached 
• Tune existing applications and databases for poor-quality SQL code and database designs since every cycle wasted on CPU, Storage, Memory, and I/O adds cost 
• Assess the cost-benefit choices between cloud VMs and managed services 

Join SolarWinds and the experts from Soaring Eagle to learn more about the world of cloud cost optimization from top experts in the field!

SolarWinds Day AI: Friend or Foe?

It’s rare to find a database completely free from the ills of poor design and/or inefficient queries. The result? Typically, higher I/O, longer user wait times, greater amounts of blocking, and increased resource consumption and contention.   
 
So, what’s the best way to tackle the issues and maximize return on time invested? Tune the SQL statements? Add another index? Add more columns to an existing index?   
 
Join database experts Kevin Kline, technical evangelist for database technology at SolarWinds, and Kellyn Gorman, director of data and AI at Silk, for a discussion about optimizing PostgreSQL database performance. Kevin and Kellyn will cover a variety of critical insights into query efficiency and table indexing on PostgreSQL, such as:  

*Assess query inefficiencies by reading execution plans.  
*Review table and index design for optimal performance.  
*Determine the priority of what options to tune first by reviewing overall workload behavior.  

 Finally, Kevin will demonstrate the newest features in Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) that make the entire performance tuning process faster and easier!

Turn the Tables on Poor Database Performance

The adoption of containerization and orchestration platforms, such as Kubernetes, has grown quickly as DevOps teams look to build scalable and resilient applications. Container environments consist of many moving parts. For example, in a busy application environment, hundreds of pods, the smallest execution unit in Kubernetes, are continuously being launched and decommissioned. 

In this complex and dynamic environment, monitoring the health of your application infrastructure and troubleshooting issues can quickly become challenging. Between resource allocation issues that can cause pod eviction events, an unexpected termination scenario due to a spot instance availability, or CrashLoopBackOff errors arising from missing dependency that results in repeated failed launches; the sheer scale and complexity of a Kubernetes-back application requires more than standard monitoring and alerting to ensure optimal performance and health.

Join SolarWinds as we discuss how SolarWinds Observability provides single-pane of glass monitoring of your infrastructure and applications to provide you with visibility across complex Kubernetes workloads deployed across a multi-layered stack of AWS or Azure cloud services. We will demonstrate how SolarWinds Observability can:

• Detect a failing Kubernetes pod using pod health and performance metrics 
• Detect resource allocation issues such as CPU and memory utilization using threshold alerting
• Connect user-facing availability and latency issues to node and cluster-level health metrics 
• Monitor Kubernetes cluster, node, and pod-level performance metrics over time to optimize performance.
