Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced an £8billion investment in the UK over the next decade. This investment will be used to expand AWS's cloud computing infrastructure, including the construction and operation of data centres across the country. Firstly, I see this a great news for AWS customers. With an expanded cloud infrastructure, AWS can offer offer improved performance, reduced latency, and enhanced data sovereignty capabilities, empowering customers to innovate and scale more efficiently. Additionally this increased compute power gives more capacity for customers to take advantage of innovative technologies such as AI and quantum computing. Secondly, the investment demonstrates the UKs position as a leader in the rapidly evolving cloud landscape. AWSs desire to create thousands of new jobs reflects their commitment to meeting the growing demand for cloud services, supporting the UK's digital transformation. Exciting times ahead! #AWS #Cloud #Innovation

💡 It's predictions time! This article in APM Digest explores how #observability will impact the business in 2025. 💬 "Observability will evolve from a singular view to a multidimensional approach. Teams will analyze workloads through lenses such as uptime, performance, cost, security, and compliance. This blended perspective will help organizations make better decisions...," said Andreas Prins, VP of Product Marketing at SUSE. 👉 Read more here: https://okt.to/aBo0v1

🚨 **Is AI Moving Faster Than Our Security Protocols?** 🚨 With over **50% of EMEA IT pros** pushing for tighter **AI regulations**, there's a clear message: we’re in a *race* to secure AI's benefits without unleashing its potential risks. 🌍 But here’s the nugget: it’s not just about regulation. **Empowering teams with AI education and proactive governance** could be the real game-changer. After all, the best way to mitigate AI risks is for **security teams to deeply understand** the very tech they’re protecting. 💡 Imagine a future where your IT and security teams don’t just *react* to AI-driven risks—they **anticipate** them, knowing exactly where vulnerabilities may emerge. In a world where AI continues to evolve, **knowledge is our greatest defense.** 🔐 So, security leaders: what **AI knowledge gaps** exist on your teams today? How can we turn regulatory conversations into **real-world education and proactive governance**? #Cybersecurity #AIGovernance #ITLeadership #AIRegulation #DataProtection #Infosec #EmergingTech #SecurityTransformation https://lnkd.in/eAfKKgPH

Observability is so damn expensive - there has to be a better way…the statement our founders were battling with back in 2015, fast forward 8 years, 2000+ customers later, turns out they were onto something. Read this blog below on how you can control your observability/monitoring spend in a structured and measured way.

“Partners influence more than 2/3 of our ARR ''- stresses CEO of Dynatrace, with ARR surpassing $1.5Bn. What's their strategy to 🎯 drive new revenue with partners, and why their “partner momentum is building”? 🏆 Record Wins in Collaboration with Partners Dynatrace recently delivered a strong last quarter, finishing FY 2024 above the $1.5 Bn ARR milestone. “We successfully closed numerous platform consolidation deals, contributing to a record 18 seven-figure ACV wins in the quarter” -  highlighted Rick McConnell, its CEO. Reflecting on the strong performance he adds that “15 of these 18 seven-figure deals were closed in collaboration with partners, especially GSIs and hyperscalers.” 📈 Partners and Hyperscalers Co-sell drive Net New ARR Given this performance, it’s clear why the company made partners a top 3 pillar of their GTM strategy. The CEO explained the opportunity: “Partners, today, influence more than 2/3 of our ARR, but they account for only 30% of deal origination, highlighting the enormous whitespace of opportunity in this area.” That’s why Dynatrace has added focus and simplicity to the core of their partner program. “We are focusing our energy on our highest priority and most impactful partners. We are building a dedicated partner enablement engine to scale our priority partners. And we are simplifying our economic model with partner-neutral compensation and a co-sale approach with hyperscalers to remove friction and drive closer collaboration” - stressed the CEO. 💰 Driving Net New Deals with Partners The focus on partners is for deal origination, explained Rick McConnell. “The real thrust around our partner initiatives is to drive that 30% origination higher, which is precisely what we're doing with the GSIs and the hyperscalers.” Dynatrace relies on partners to win not only in Enterprise, which is clearly working, but also in the Mid-Market. 📊 Mid-market Partner Strategy to Grow ARR & NRR “Relative to the net new ARR... the strategy around mid-market is really partners. We talk about that a lot. We are definitely leaned in relative to GSIs and hyperscalers, and that is really how we would expect to attack the mid-market space.” - emphasized the CEO. McConnell explained relative strengths of hyperscalers and GSIs across segments: “We would expect GSIs to be headed up market, if anything. You look at the nine-digit TCV Accenture deal with a large global financial institution, that's the kind of thing that we're going to see out of GSIs. Hyperscaler engagements, we announced the partnership - GTM partnership with GCP in the past quarter as well. Those are the elements that will likely drive NRR in the mid-market.” With hyperscalers driving such a significant portion of ARR for Dynatrace, how are you leveraging them in your GTM strategy? 💡 Follow me for daily insights Unlock your #growth via hyperscaler marketplaces with 5-week Cloud GTM Leader course starting on June 4th https://lnkd.in/edUa-qm2

Something happened at re:Invent 2024 that made seasoned database experts sit up and take notice. After years of incremental updates, Amazon Web Services (AWS) appears to have achieved what many thought impossible. Kate Gawron, AWS database SME at DoiT, captured the magnitude of the announcement: "For the first time in many, many re:Invents, I'm actually finally excited about a database topic." What caused this reaction? Aurora Distributed SQL (dSQL) - a database that seems to defy the fundamental laws of physics that have constrained global databases for decades. Here's why this is significant: Until now, global databases faced unavoidable latency when syncing data across regions. Write data in São Paulo, and you'd have to wait for it to appear in Sydney. That's just how physics worked. But as Kate explains, AWS has somehow achieved near-zero latency writes with strong consistency across global regions. Write once, see it everywhere, instantly. The implications are profound: ➡️ True strong consistency across regions ➡️ No performance degradation ➡️ PostgreSQL compatible ➡️ Fully managed service ➡️ Zero infrastructure management needed And there's more - DynamoDB users got their own breakthrough. Global tables now support strong consistency too, upgrading from their eventually consistent model. For anyone building global applications, this represents a fundamental shift in what's possible. The constraints that architects have worked around for decades may no longer apply. The real mystery isn't just how Amazon Web Services (AWS) achieved this - it's how it will transform the way we build global applications in 2024 and beyond.
