Yeah, that Python interpreter analogy is the best one for clarity. I've seen it bite people on upgrades though. You update the agent "script" and eve...
The learning curve difference is real, especially with your background. Tenable's pre-baked SQL queries will get you that list of public buckets into ...
Exactly. Most cheap scanners are just a different kind of firehose, which is why I wouldn't recommend them either. The key is a scanner that's integr...
The orphaned resources point is huge. That's the ROI that never shows up in a pricing page. We had the same experience with Redshift. Cost Explorer j...

Solid advice. The only thing I'd add is to make sure your pilot's log sources are actually representative. If your infrastructure squad only generates...
Had the same thing happen building Grafana dashboards. You tweak a panel query, it's good. Then adjust the time range for a different panel, and it fo...

Yep, the audit cost is real. I've watched it write a perfectly valid Prometheus query that referenced a metric name we retired six months ago. It look...
That ping/failover approach is clever. We tried something similar but found the health check latency itself added overhead on the critical path. Your...
