The future is DevOps is Serverless DevOps!

Serverless computing has been in the news for a long time. A growing number of Independent Software Vendors (ISV) and enterprises alike have adopted it due to its ability to run event-driven functions without the need to manage the underlying hardware or software stack. 

In traditional IT setups, business enterprises installed their hardware and network infrastructure in-house. The advent of the cloud changed all that. Companies can now increase their storage and computing capacities whenever they want to. According to Spiceworks Ziff Davis (SWZD), 36% of business enterprises plan to improve their IT operations and system performance. 

As the rate of cloud adoption continues to surge, many organizations are struggling to monitor and operate dynamic and complex cloud instances. This is especially true given the widespread popularity of microservices environments that allow code to scale to hundreds of thousands of nodes. 

Making sense of growing volumes of data in real-time within the context of the entire technology stack requires organizations to embrace the practice of observability that uses data to deliver answers and drive better business outcomes.

Did you know that in August of 2021, Microsoft encountered one of the biggest Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in history? The attack had an intensity of 2.4Tbps and targeted its Azure services for a European customer. Few attacks on cloud vendors have reached this scale before, but no one is taking any bets that more big attacks won’t follow. The bottom line is that enterprise cloud infrastructure is becoming a core target for cyber threats.
