How To Use External Data Into KQL?

In many businesses, Azure is becoming the infrastructure backbone. It has become imperative to be able to query Azure using KQL, to gain insights into the Azure services your organization utilizes. In this post, let’s understand how to explore logs in Azure data storage using an external data file into KQL.

Highlights:

  • What Is Kusto Query Language (KQL)?
  • Sample Use Cases For Demo
  • Prerequisites
  • Simple Method For Basic Use Case
  • Alternative Method For Enhanced Use Case
  • Key Takeaways

 

What Is Kusto Query Language?

KQL, which stands for Kusto Query Language, is a powerful tool to explore your data and discover patterns, identify anomalies and outliers, create statistical models, and more. The language is used to query the Azure Monitor Logs, Azure Application Insights, Azure Resource Explorer, and others.

Sample Use Cases For Demo

1. Basic use case (solved using a simple method)

  • Imagine you have a set of servers and applications hosted in Azure.
  • You have configured logs & metrics collection using Azure monitoring services.
  • You must query the logs to find out applications that are hitting high processor utilization.

2. Enhanced use case (solved using an alternative method)

  • You must query the logs to find out only selected applications/serves that are hitting high processor utilization.
  • For every server, the threshold is different.
  • You want to control which serves to be queried.
  • You want to dynamically update thresholds for different computers.
  • You don’t want to update the KQL query.
Note:

  • For this demo purpose, we are using a log analytics workspace provided by Microsoft in their documentation for KQL/Kusto language. Please access the demo logs here for free.
  • To display the storage role, we have created a storage account in our subscription and blob container to host some files.

Prerequisites

  • Azure Subscription
  • Azure Storage Account (Blob Container) and/or AWS S3 Bucket
  • Azure Log Analytics Workspace (Azure Monitoring Service)

Simple Method For Basic Use Case

Let’s first explore the sample data available for the demo.

  1. Open your favorite browser and go to thislink.
  2. If you are already logged into Azure, it will open directly, else it will ask you to sign in.
  3. After signing in, a new query window is displayed.Microsoft Azure Monitoring Logs-DemoLogsBlade
  4. On the left side of the panel, you can explore tables and queries available in the demo workspace.Microsoft Azure-Logs Demo
  5. Copy & Paste the following code into new query 1.
InsightsMetrics
| where TimeGenerated > ago(30m)
| where Origin == “vm.azm.ms”
| where Namespace == “Processor”
| where Name == “UtilizationPercentage”
| summarize avg(Val) by bin(TimeGenerated, 5m), Computer //split up by computer
| join kind=leftouter (Computers) on Computer
| where isnotempty(Computer1)
| sort by avg_Val desc nulls first

| where isnotempty(Computer1) and Monitor contains “No”
| sort by avg_Val desc nulls first

6. Run the query and you will get the following results.

Note: Replace the location code in the above query with the URL of your Azure blob container.

Access input file stored outside Azure Storage

  • Update the query with the input file on the AWS S3 container. Run the query and you will get the same result.
let Computers = externaldata(Computer: string, value: int, Monitor: string)[@’https://psi-testing.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/SelectedComputers.csv’] with (ignoreFirstRecord=true);
InsightsMetrics
| where TimeGenerated > ago(30m)
| where Origin == “vm.azm.ms”
| where Namespace == “Processor”
| where Name == “UtilizationPercentage”
| summarize avg(Val) by bin(TimeGenerated, 5m), Computer //split up by computer
| join kind=leftouter (Computers) on Computer
| where isnotempty(Computer1) and Monitor contains “Yes”
| sort by avg_Val desc nulls first

Note: Replace the location code in the above query with the URL of your AWS S3 container.

How outsourcing product development can give businesses a competitive edge?

As competition continues to soar with so many new products dominating the market, the pressure to stay ahead of the curve increases. To be a key differentiator, one needs to innovate and develop products that can fit the audience’s requirements in the best way possible. Several factors affect the success of a product. If you are a decision-maker of your enterprise, you will understand that the whole idea is to maximize growth and innovation by delivering the best yet cost-effective products. The uniqueness of your product gives you an extra edge over others. However, developing a top-quality product that can shoot your brand up in the market requires a lot of effort and attention. At the same time, prior commitments, deliverables, strict timelines, and budget constraints can delay the entire process. This is where the role of outsourcing product development emanates. 

Before we dive deeper into how outsourcing product development and services can simplify all your design and delivery needs, read on to understand the process and spare a minute to analyze on your own.

What are we going to cover in this blog?

  1. What is product outsourcing? And why do you need it?
  2. What are the risks of outsourcing product development?
  3. Why product development outsourcing is the right step for you?
  4. What are the benefits of outsourcing product development?
  5. Companies who have opted for outsourcing services
  6. Are you ready to make the right choice?

What is product outsourcing? And why do you need it?

Product development involves three significant stages, design, development, and delivery. In the old school method, businesses used their in-house staff to manage their products from incubation to launch. They worked in several areas like market research, conceptual design, product engineering, prototyping, and other developments. Besides this, the process also included additional expenses and time invested in installing and maintaining different software. This also required constant follow-ups with the team for timely updates and changes on the various stages of the product development process.

Outsourcing product development means collaborating with an external team to turn your product ideas into reality. The outsourcing product development companies help businesses build new products from a different perspective and provide them with services including custom software development, UX design, product manufacturing, and many more. All these services are optimized by the latest technology and strategies along with their exclusive features. In simpler terms, they take some load off your shoulder and unburden you from the tedious follow-ups, iterations, and expenses while streamlining the process.

What are the risks of outsourcing product development?

Even though outsourcing product development has become a common trend these days, many businesses still opt for traditional in-house development assuming there’s risk and carrying other misconceptions associated with it. They fear lack of coordination, flexibility, and control, breach of security, loss of intellectual property, and dilution of the company’s essence if an external agency is involved. We are not saying these apprehensions are entirely false. There are pros and cons of outsourcing product development. However, one must remember that business involves risk irrespective of in-house or external services. It is always about making the right choices that make one stand out from the rest of the crowd. Choosing a credible outsourcing company can certainly eliminate these risks and lead to successful ventures.

Why product development outsourcing is the right step for you?

The success stories of multi-billion products like Slack, Github, Whatsapp, Groove, and several startups, product companies, enterprises, and businesses reinstate the fact that outsourcing product development works the best. It has been gaining a lot of popularity lately, especially after the remote work culture was embraced post the onset of the global pandemic. 

As per Deloitte’s 2020 Global Outsourcing Survey, ‘Outsourcing will remain an essential tool for client organizations to support their strategic goals.’

But how do you decide whether outsourcing or in-house product development is the right fit for you? These key benefits of outsourcing will help you choose the correct option.

Benefits of outsourcing product development | PrimeSoft Solutions Inc.

What are the benefits of outsourcing product development?

Here are some of the benefits that make it count:

  1. Reduces cost without compromising the quality – One of the significant advantages of outsourced product development is it cuts down some of the major expenses in businesses, specifically the 3RS – Resource costs, research costs, and rework costs. It takes away the cost and efforts incurred in creating a productive team which involves identifying the right talents with specific skill sets who understand the process and tools. Outsourcing optimizes the resource cost as it gives you access to a team of highly efficient resources to work on your project. Similarly, building software requires a lot of research with updated knowledge about the latest technologies and processes. Subscribing to outsourcing product development services allows you to save on the research cost as it brings you a team of people who come with their expertise in the different domains and ensure the best end results. A supplementing team of resources with relevant expertise within the outsourced organization and mature processes will cut down the rework cost.
  1. Saves time and effort for you to focus on core business – In-house development can take months or even years to set up the required equipment and manufacture the product. Every stage of development can be time-consuming, which ultimately delays the process overall. This elongated method can be curtailed with the help of outsourcing. It accelerates the product development process and powers it with quintessential features, enabling you to focus on the core business. 
  1. Ensures growth and innovation with expert assistance – It gives you the scope to work with world-class experts whose vision and expertise can help you innovate and grow. These leading product developers will manage multiple diverse activities, from product design (UX), building technology architecture, product management, development, testing, and quality assurance, to monitoring growth and sales.
  1. Doesn’t take away the control from you – It is often believed that roping in an external agency will take away the control from you. No, that is not true. You are still in charge of the project! It is a collaborative process where transparency is maintained between the vendor and service provider. 
  1. Awareness of the latest technology and trending strategies – Developing a product can take your business to the market, but to rank at the top, it must be equipped with unique attributes which can enhance the overall user experience. Outsourced product development powers your product with the best technology and strategies, keeping in mind the best marketing practices.
  1. Can be outsourced at any point in time – Imagine you want to execute a brilliant product idea but lack the right resources and team. OR you have already started the product development process but somehow feel stuck mid-way as you don’t see any progress. Shed your worries as you can easily outsource product development at any stage and run your development process seamlessly.

Why do companies choose to outsource?

Outsourcing is the trend these days. Outsourcing work to other agencies has become one of the most preferred options for companies. It helps them save money, effort, and time on a lot of additional projects allowing them to focus more on their core business.  

In simpler words, outsourcing is a process of performing a business endeavor outside of the organization.

The work rendered by outsourcing companies varies from industry to industry. The concept of ‘one solution for all problems or industry’ doesn’t exist here.

Every outsourcing company tailors its services as per the unique requirements, goals, and vision of clients. The outsourcing journey is not the same for every company.

Outsourcing IT services has become more accessible and cost-effective due to the powerful communication and collaboration tools used today. These service providers build the product taking into account the unique needs of the client, and deliver high-quality software applying creativity, innovation, and the latest technology in immeasurable ways. This allows vendors and clients from different backgrounds and expertise to connect and create something new and exclusive.

These organizations are big names in the industry but have successfully implemented the culture of outsourcing. They have understood the fundamental truth that the most effective way to grow faster and save money is to strategize the functions in a way that all aspects of it are being given equal attention. They have decoded this simple trick – internally, they can focus on the core business and outsource the non-core functions. Many companies have even taken the step of outsourcing their core business by associating with a credible service provider. Thus, it has become an essential component of any successful business strategy.

Companies who have opted for outsourcing services

Outsourcing has become a standard approach for businesses of all sizes, including some popular ones. Let’s see some of the big names that outsource.

  1. Google – Yes, you read that right! The first thought that comes to our mind is why an organization as massive as Google would prefer outsourcing when they can clearly set up their own internal team for the same. It is no surprise that they are one of the biggest companies in the world. They have become almost synonymous with the internet itself as people use its name as a verb when talking about searching online. Google is a technology company and is known for its exceptional business practices and policies. They have been outsourcing services for the Admin, and IT work for years now.
  1. WhatsApp – It has become one of the most followed modes of communication for people from all walks of life. Millions of people worldwide use Whatsapp on a daily basis for most of their communication. Looking at the huge demand, Whatsapp has recently ventured into the online payments feature to benefit customers further. WhatsApp wasn’t that big a company when they had started its business with limited manpower. They were quick enough to understand the benefits of outsourcing and decided to go with it, which helped them grow their business without impacting their budget.
  1. GitHub – It is one of the most known and used tools for developers and engineers. It instantly became their favorite repository to access data, look for documents, and share and host private code. Even though it was one of the best tools to go for while sharing details on the entire project, it wasn’t still apt for small code texts. To meet these challenges, GitHub came up with another idea, which they named ‘Gist.’ Though they were ready with the concept and its functionalities, they lacked enough time, capital, and resources to work on developing it. That’s when they decided to outsource the services of a developer to build it.
  1. MySQL – The practices and processes of MySQL have made them stand out from its competitors. They had clearly understood that they needed to adopt innovative strategies to compete and win. They decided to implement an outsourcing strategy from the first day of their inception. Even today, they continue with the same practice and have an almost fully outsourced development team comprising operational staff distributed around the world. It is a widely used relational database management system (RDBMS) compatible with several operating systems, including Linux, Solaris, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD.

Are you ready to make the right choice?

One of the myths about outsourcing product development services is that they are accessible to only larger organizations. That’s not true. They are a suitable option for start-ups or SMEs and can positively impact streamlining their businesses. But before you decide to go ahead with outsourcing product development services, you must analyze a few critical questions. What do I want to derive from this collaboration? In what ways are these services going to benefit me? Do they fit our vision? If you are still unsure, you can scroll up the page and give the blog a quick read. It will certainly bring clarity and help you in decision-making.

DevOps, Secops, FinOps, AIOps – Top tech trends you need to know about

Advancement in technology has streamlined business processes in the most effective ways. Companies that are fast enough to adapt to these new trends gain a competitive edge over their counterparts. To scale businesses and ensure the best user experience, the decision-makers need to be agile and rope in the latest technology and services. Many small and big enterprises use the hybrid structure of on-premise infrastructure and cloud systems. Several others still have their apprehensions about taking the leap and migrating to cloud services.

Outsourcing Cloud and DevOps services can help you in your cloud transformation journey. Subscribing to these services can help you better collaborate, monitor, automate, and adopt the cloud into your business to achieve higher efficiency, greater agility, fast-paced deployment, and quicker time-to-market.

  11. Why do we need AIOps?
  12. Can embracing these latest cloud trends accelerate business processes?

When it comes to product development, the process goes beyond the simple plan, development, and delivery model. It needs to be powered by cloud-based services. Today, tech terms like DevOps, SecOps, FinOps, and AIOps are not new to people. But, are they fully aware of these and their benefits? How can these recent trends be adapted to accelerate the product development process? 

These are not simply terms that are clubbed with the word ‘Ops.’ This quirky combination of words holds a lot of significance in product development. DevOps, SecOps, FinOps, and AIOps work in tandem in the software development process. However, these trends, especially DevOps, are often confused with Agile Methodology. So, before we dive deep into these term concepts, let’s understand how similar or different these are from Agile Methodology.

What is Agile Methodology?   

Agile methodology is specifically designed for project management and software development teams to provide the best customer experience through its interactive and quick response approach. The Agile methodology process helps break down the entire software development process into multiple phases and ensures continuous evaluation. It is known for its iterative approach that involves constant collaboration between the stakeholders and developers to identify opportunities, eliminate bugs and implement changes faster at every stage. These smaller units are integrated at the end for final testing. The whole idea is to align the development process with customer needs and software requirements. It is an effective process where teams work together to add more value for customers and make it more reliable for them. Three commonly used agile frameworks for product development are Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming (XP).

Agile methodology cycle

Plan – Design – Develop – Evaluate

What is Agile Methodology in software development?

  • Improves customer experience as it makes the product or software more user-friendly through its iterative approach
  • Improves productivity and quality as the methodology encourages to work in small teams who are focused on one phase at a time
  • Ensures high performance as the development process is tracked in every stage to add new opportunities and implement changes constantly
  • It primarily focuses on three core areas – collaboration, customer feedback, and small rapid releases throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process

What is DevOps and how it works?

DevOps is a core part of the product development process, which brings the software development and IT operations teams together. It eradicates the challenges of the traditional structure and establishes collaboration between these two teams throughout the application lifecycle. In simpler terms, DevOps is a culture that is put into action to accelerate delivery by automating and integrating the phases from design to product release.

Many companies have started adopting the DevOps culture, practices, and tools to digitally transform their business and maximize productivity. DevOps has been in the trend because it is not just a union between two core teams but also an efficient way to bridge the gap between the business, stakeholders, and customers. Unlike the traditional software development and infrastructure management process, DevOps enables organizations to provide value to their customers by delivering applications and services faster. It aligns multiple functions under the same realm, from development and testing to deployment and operations.

DevOps methodology cycle

Plan-Build-Test-Deliver–Deploy-Operate-Monitor

Why do we need DevOps?

Terms like CloudOps and ITOps, once popular among businesses, have now been overshadowed by upgraded and more functional concepts introduced in the modern Ops. One among those is known as DevOps. Ever wondered why? Please take a minute here to analyze what exactly you think has been missing in your software development process? Now read on to understand how DevOps methodology can play a key role in automating processes and achieving business goals. Let’s talk about how it can benefit your organization.

  • It doesn’t only focus on software development but ensures end-to-business solutions to its customers. It eliminates the involvement of any third-party vendors and directly meets the software as well as hardware needs of the customer
  • Continuous collaboration between teams and customers leads to optimum productivity resulting in high-quality products
  • Delivery of applications and services are moved at high velocity. The task is divided and distributed between development and operation teams as per their skill set to run the process seamlessly
  • It makes things easier by automating, integrating, and deploying the software faster and more efficiently
  • DevOps culture gives the scope for improvement and innovation in software development. It enables frequent releases where teams can innovate and rapidly adapt changes as per customer feedback and software requirement
  • DevOps increases reliability as its continuous integration and continuous delivery practices ensure that each change is safe and functional

Though DevOps streamlines the software development process from build to deploy, what about security? Let’s move beyond DevOps and focus on the new Ops cultures emerging in the market that can help you grow your business. Let’s start with cloud SecOps.

What is SecOps?

SecOps establishes a better collaboration between IT security and operations teams who work together to identify and prevent security threats on IT systems. So, a highly skilled team of developers, programmers, and IT security come together to monitor and assess risk and protect the company’s assets.

SecOps culture and practices ensure that the entire team is aware of and responsible for security.  Every member of the development cycle team must immediately report any suspected cyber threat so that the same can be mitigated before it becomes an issue. The aim is to improve business agility by keeping the systems and data secure. So, teams are encouraged to operate together and develop practical and adequate IT security measures.

Curious minds will question why these security challenges can’t be fixed with DevOps solutions. That’s because a large number of DevOps-driven application deployment tech adds to the security issues. Hence, the integration between DevOps and SecOps was invented.

How different is SecOps from DevSecOps?

DevSecOps facilitates collaboration and communication to integrate security into applications during the development cycle rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Though DevSecOps and SecOps tend to overlap, the fundamental difference is that DevSecOps injects security into the application development cycle. In contrast, the latter ensures security and compliance for IT systems on which the company assets are stored, including the app and its data.

Why do we need SecOps?

The global pandemic brought in the demand for remote work culture among organizations. This has significantly increased cyber security risks and the challenges to eradicating those. So, companies have started relying on dedicated SecOps teams who proactively work to detect, prevent and mitigate cyber threats. Some of its essential benefits are:

  •   Enables businesses to identify security concerns and develop solutions rapidly
  •     Ensures prevention of risks through process definition
  •   Continuously monitors activities in IT systems and keeps the assets and data secure
  •   Gets to the root of a security breach incident and prevent it from future occurrences
  •   Automates important security tasks which keep the records intact, hence making the auditing process more efficient
  •   The collaboration between teams ensures quick and effective response
  •   Increases productivity and streamlines businesses processes

To put these trends into action, finances play an important factor.  It is essential to keep a tab on the company’s finances and cut down on unnecessary expenses. This money management can be optimized by setting up a strong cloud FinOps operation.

What is FinOps?

These days, especially after the pandemic began, the demand for cloud migration from an on-premise infrastructure has been increasing rapidly among companies. Though this shift to the cloud can save you a lot of money, it is challenging to maintain finances on the cloud. FinOps, also known as cloud financial management, is an effective framework that lets you take control of your cloud spending.

As an organization, it may be difficult for you to keep a track of all the things you are paying for and whether they add any value to your requirements or not like an outdated service, tool, or even a license. FinOps is a cultural practice that enables organizations to maintain, manage and optimize cloud expenses, hence reinstating the core objective of deriving maximum value for minimal spending.

FinOps Framework 

Inform, Optimize, Operate

Why do we need FinOps?

The key objective of any business is to draw a balance between speed, cost, and quality. With the use of FinOps, this objective can be put into action. There are many reasons why organizations must adopt FinOps services and some of which are:

  • Establishes financial planning and governance to ensure maximum benefits
  • Provides complete transparency to control cloud costs and helps your teams to keep track of what they are spending and why
  • Enables you to take ownership of your cloud usage and set the cloud budget
  • Manages costs across departments

What is AIOps?

Anyone even with the slightest interest in the latest tech trends must be aware of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data. But what exactly is AIOps, and how can it be applied to your business?

In 2017, Gartner introduced Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) to the world and proved that digital transformation is incomplete without it. It is a platform that applies AI, machine learning, big data, and other analytic techniques to enhance IT operations.

AIOps enables collaboration and automation within a team and helps accelerate the delivery of various services to provide the best customer experience. It can turn out to be highly essential for an enterprise with cloud-based IT infrastructure as AIOps can reduce your cloud costs and improve cloud security through AI automation.

In short, AIOps implements smarter and more intelligent IT operations by allowing access to data from multiple sources, which can be shared across all teams for automation and analytics.

Why do we need AIOps?

IT organizations equipped with the latest technologies can identify, prevent and fix performance problems. However, as we grow with technology, it introduces new roadblocks in our direction. The hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure can create a lot of confusion and complexities about the big data accumulated from multiple sources. In situations like these, AIOps can act as a savior. Drawn by its brilliant practices and tools, businesses have rapidly started to adopt AIOps to make their IT operations more efficient. Read on to learn why your business needs AIOps.

  • It collects data and breaks those down into different units providing end-to-end visibility across IT systems. This helps teams to monitor data and network effectively
  • Its AI capabilities enable businesses to predict and prevent future problems by identifying the root cause
  • It is a next-generation IT solution that monitors applications and infrastructure within an organization and enhances its IT operations functions and performance

Can embracing these latest cloud trends accelerate business processes?

Yes, it certainly can! Practices and processes in digital space evolve every single day. It is necessary to catch up with the trends and stay updated with the latest technologies. However, it is not going to be an easy task and requires a lot of your time and effort. Subscribing to a credible Cloud and DevOps service provider can cushion your cloud journey and help you give your business a ‘face-lift’ much faster.
