Customers have been running Microsoft workloads on AWS for over 16 years. Through conversations with these customers, a common challenge we’ve found is that as they back up their Windows applications to fulfill data protection needs, they often spend significant time and manual effort managing the orchestration of backup workflows. The time- and labor-intensive process […]

Many organizations have the need to retain data for a number of years to comply with regulations or IT requirements. They move cold data to archive storage in the cloud to optimize storage costs while staying compliant. For example, Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a critical data resource that many customers want to retain long term to meet compliance. Until […]

As distributed systems get more complex, anticipating disruptions becomes even more challenging. Conventional techniques of verifying known situations through unit or integration testing leave gaps that don’t cover component failures, which can result in expensive outages. Chaos engineering is a disciplined approach to unhide failures before they become outages. By proactively identifying how a system […]

It’s no secret that the increased adoption of cloud computing has transformed the way enterprises are managing and protecting their mission critical applications and data. Security and compliance becomes a shared responsibility between cloud providers and their customers. The shared model helps clarify which aspects the cloud provider is responsible for, and which aspects fall […]

To leverage the benefits of modern software development and automation, the telecommunications industry (telco) commonly employs containerized network functions (NF). The containerized environment demands certain requirements from the underlying infrastructure as opposed to a legacy monolithic IT workload. For example, a single network interface is reused for multiple workflows: network operations and maintenance (O&M) traffic, […]
