Here\u2019s our weekly update on recent cloud provider news. This week, we cover AWS Snow Family enhancements, Azure Automatic Instance Repairs, Oracle Critical Patch Updates, VMware Cloud Director 10.1 and Google OS Patch Management service.<\/p>\n
Why it matters<\/em>: The AWS Snow Family is a key part of migrating large data sets into AWS. The enhancements allow customers to migrate their workloads in a more secure manner. And, the release of OpsHub and the integration with AWS Systems Manager allows customers to reduce operational and administrative overhead so they can manage more migrations in parallel with a consistency and control of process not previously available.<\/p>\n Why it matters<\/em>: This allows organizations that use application scale sets to automatically shrink and\/or grow their application pools to take advantage of new monitoring capabilities. It ensures that a given application pool with appropriate monitoring parameters will always serve the correct working application functionality. It should also reduce time needed for IT to determine which server is behaving incorrectly, giving IT staff time back to do other (more critical) tasks.<\/p>\n Why it matters<\/em>: CPUs resolve bugs and security issues discovered in the previous quarter. Customers should apply these patches to their Oracle products as soon as possible to avoid encountering issues.<\/p>\n Key updates<\/em>: There is no longer an Adobe flex UI, and NSX-T integration has been enhanced with routed Org VDC networks. The NSX-V side of networking also has a new feature \u2013 using Cross VDC networking within the same vCenter Server. On the storage front, vSphere VM Encryption is now supported within Cloud Director.<\/p>\n Why it matters<\/em>: With this news, Google has announced the capability to manage deployment of patches to VMs in GCP. With this update, customers will be able to reduce the amount of manual intervention required to support a workload on GCP, allowing smaller teams to run much bigger fleets of servers.<\/p>\n If you have any questions about these product updates and how they can optimize your environment, please contact us at hello@navisite.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n We’ll be back next week with another update!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":98,"featured_media":17042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
