Is your company looking for ways to work smarter in the ever-changing world? For many businesses, the cloud offers the solutions they’re looking for.

An Azure Resource Group is a required grouping for all your Azure VMs. In this post, we’ll look into what this group structure actually means – and how you can use it for better governance and resource management for your infrastructure.

Almost 70% of enterprise companies have transferred their infrastructure and software to the cloud. As such, it is little wonder those who have not yet moved to cloud wish to do the same. The last thing you would want for your company is to fall behind handling your own online infrastructure when it no longer makes sense.

The event of the season is right around the corner: Apps ON Cloud Summit! 

Turbonomic is thrilled to be hosting this virtual event, bringing together some of the biggest names in tech to discuss the most prevalent challenges IT organizations face—and how to solve them. 

For any digital business, applications are what connect you to your customer. Leading organizations are leveraging public cloud and cloud native to innovate faster, grow their business, and delight their customers. But the promise of the modern technology is often unfilled as organizations grapple with the complexity and cultural shifts they bring along with them. 

Small and medium-sized businesses are always competing with the technology of their corporate counterparts. Large corporations are always seeking ways to accelerate speed-to-market and reduce costs. In the world of cloud services, cloud migration may be the biggest common enabler of SMBs and enterprises alike.

Cloud application optimization is beyond human scale. Allow me to explain.

In my role, I have the privilege of meeting and talking to multiple enterprise customers and prospects every day, discussing their challenges and pains related to the management and control (or lack of) of their cloud applications’ performance and cost.

The number one challenge I hear is around cloud cost optimization. Regardless of whether they are new to public cloud or so-called "Cloud Veterans," almost every organization admits that their cloud bills are beyond what they projected and that their attempts to optimize their cloud based applications did not achieve the desired results.

There are many aspects of cloud computing CIOs, cloud engineers, and IT managers should consider when deciding to add cloud services to their infrastructure. Cost, security, performance, availability, and reliability are some common key areas to consider. Another criterion that has been added to the list recently is cloud scalability and cloud elasticity.

Introduction

Microsoft Azure was officially launched in 2010 (back then, it was named Windows Azure Platform) and Azure’s SQL Services, SQL Azure, was one of the first cloud-based relational database services and one of the first services offered by Microsoft upon launch.

We are thrilled to announce Amazon EBS gp3 as a supported storage tier in the Turbonomic 8 Next-Generation Cloud Volumes Optimization Engine.

The Business Value of Cloud Storage Optimization

Storage is one of the top cloud services globally. AWS and Azure offer various types of storage services, such as AWS object storage, Azure Blobs, Azure Queues, and more. This blog will focus on the block level storage service, which is used with AWS EC2 instances and Azure Virtual Machine instances and provides boot and data volumes.
