Azure Local Migration: Monitor Both Sides In One View

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

More organizations are moving workloads from Azure public cloud to Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) than most people realize. The reasons vary: data sovereignty requirements, latency-sensitive workloads that need to be closer to the edge, cost optimization for predictable workloads where reserved cloud capacity doesn’t make financial sense, or regulatory constraints that require data to stay on-premises.

Azure Monitor Collector: Monitor Azure Infrastructure

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you’re running infrastructure on Azure, you’ve probably dealt with the split between your Azure-native monitoring and the rest of your stack. Your VMs, databases, and Kubernetes clusters generate platform metrics through Azure Monitor, but those metrics live in a separate world from the OS-level, application, and on-prem metrics you’re already watching in Netdata. You end up checking two (or more) places during incidents, building mental bridges between dashboards that don’t talk to each other.

Secrets Management: Remove Credentials From Configs

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you’re running Netdata collectors that connect to databases, APIs, or other authenticated services, there’s a good chance you have passwords sitting in plain-text configuration files right now. It works, but it’s the kind of thing that makes security teams nervous and makes credential rotation painful. Every password change means editing config files and restarting collectors.

Netdata now supports secrets management natively. Instead of putting credentials directly in your collector configurations, you reference them using a resolver syntax, and Netdata resolves the actual values at runtime from whatever source you choose: environment variables, files on disk, the output of a command, or a centralized secret store like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.

Monitoring Multi-Cloud & Hybrid-Cloud Infrastructures

Tue, 16 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The advent of multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures has created new opportunities for organizations to leverage best-in-class features from various cloud service providers. However, these complex environments present their own unique challenges, especially when it comes to monitoring and managing performance.

Visibility

The visibility challenge in multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments often stems from the use of disparate monitoring tools that are native to each cloud provider. While these native tools (like Amazon CloudWatch, Google Cloud Monitoring, and Azure Monitor) are excellent within their respective ecosystems, they don’t necessarily play well together when it comes to consolidating data and providing a comprehensive, unified view of your entire infrastructure.

Cloud Optimization: Cost, Performance & Resource Strategies

Sun, 14 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Cloud optimization is the ongoing process of analyzing, configuring, and refining cloud environments to improve performance, reduce costs, and align resource usage with business needs. As cloud adoption grows, organizations must move beyond cost-cutting alone and treat optimization as a strategic practice.

Cloud Optimization Strategies To Achieve Business Goals

Cloud optimization strategies generally focus on cost control, performance enhancement, and efficient resource utilization. These strategies range from selecting the right cloud service model (IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS), right-sizing your resources, adopting a multi-cloud approach, automating processes, and investing in robust monitoring tools that can reliably reveal resources utilization and help you ensure that services are tailored to meet business objectives.
