Becoming a Data-Driven Organization: Hidden Potential and Challenges

Data is a business gold mine for organizations, yet many companies struggle to unlock its complete potential. Through data, organizations can gain a better understanding of their operations and customers. Acting on the data to make informed business decisions is not necessarily a straightforward process. A data-driven organization can glean deep insights from data to update internal processes and respond directly to market feedback and improve their customer relationships. A data-driven organization can also leverage data to identify to create value for their consumers.

Statista predicts that by 2022, the big data and analytics market will reach 274 billion dollars. Organizations are playing a vital role in the exponential growth of data by utilizing Big Data technologies for analytics to become data-driven. In this article, we will explore how organizations can benefit from data and what challenges they face in the process. 

After the Lift and Shift: 10 Steps to Optimize Your Cloud Efficiency

The majority of enterprises and companies move into the cloud to leverage performance optimization and efficiently handle their workloads. Although cloud infrastructure proves to be efficient for most companies, there is always some room to further optimize your cloud efficiency by making minor improvement changes to your infrastructure.

If you have just migrated your applications and workload into the cloud, then it’s time to optimize your cloud infrastructure by using our ten most performance-oriented steps below:

Kubernetes Cluster Federation With Admiralty

Kubernetes today is a hugely prevalent tool in 2021, and more organizations are increasingly running their applications on multiple clusters of Kubernetes. But these multiple cluster architectures often have a combination of multiple cloud providers, multiple data centers, multiple regions, and multiple zones where the applications are running. So, deploying your application or service on clusters with such diverse resources is a complicated endeavor. This challenge is what the process of a federation is intended to help overcome. The fundamental use case of a federation is to scale applications on multiple clusters with ease. The process negates the need to perform the deployment step more than once. Instead, you perform one deployment, and the application is deployed on multiple clusters as listed in the federation list.

What Is Kubernetes Cluster Federation?

Essentially, the Kubernetes cluster federation is a mechanism to provide one way or one practice to distribute applications and services to multiple clusters. One of the most important things to note is that federation is not about cluster management, federation is about application management.
