An informative article sheds light on the distinctions between data sovereignty, data residency, and more. In New Zealand, despite assertions from Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, it's crucial to note that they will not explicitly confirm your data as "sovereign." Unlike them, TEAM Cloud, owned and operated by TEAM IM and powered by Oracle Cloud, can assure you of data sovereignty.

Sounds like an internal primary or secondary index 'skew' between different systems (or just a bug). Can happen when restoring records to a database in live use when changing a schema, as the precise order that sets the foreign key mappings used by the other system will not match... This might even be a stale cache somewhere.. Hence why you should always use synthetic keys when maintaining a relationship between two distinct databases, never use internal primary or secondary keys, just asking for trouble... #databreach #australia #databases #integrity

Can you imagine?!? Two lessons here. 1. Every efficiency has a risk and/or tradeoff. 2. Backups. Backups. Backups. https://lnkd.in/g7eU63KC

Three years ago, AWS made a 10-figure infrastructure investment in New Zealand. today AWS has announced a landmark $1.3B investment to build a top-secret cloud infrastructure for Australia's defense and intelligence agencies. The TS Cloud project will span three facilities and is set to create up to 2,000 local jobs over the next decade. The TS Cloud will enhance information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration with the United States, while bolstering the resilience of Australia's tech infrastructure. AWS’s commitment to renewable energy will also power this project, underscoring their sustainable approach. With this initiative, Australia's defense and intelligence sectors will leverage cutting-edge AWS services, driving a mission-first focus and eliminating the heavy lifting of traditional IT hardware! #AWS #CloudComputing #NationalSecurity #Innovation #Australia

Last month I had the pleasure of spending the day with a group of CDO's in Australia. The dance between #AI and #DataGovernance was the discussion of the day and it led to a collaboration between our CluedIn team and Microsoft to sum up the essential defensive and responsible offense elements of #DataGovernance in an article. Every #data initiative should be tied to a key business metric that hits either the top line or bottom line. Technology will help you achieve it, but even the best technology in the world will always need to drive back to a couple of key discussions in the end i.e. "Is this saving us time?", "Is this saving us money?", "Is this making us money?", "Is this solving a core problem we have" etc. https://lnkd.in/euPC8Dy5

🥼 Performance engineering is crucial for ensuring efficient, cost-effective, and fast software, especially in mission-critical systems, and it involves anticipating and addressing system performance issues throughout the software development lifecycle. Andre Bondi discusses performance engineering and the content in his book, "Foundations of Software and System Performance Engineering: Process, Performance Modeling, Requirements, Testing, Scalability, and Practice" With Scott Moore.  Video Insights About Performance Engineering 💡 Performance engineering forces you to think about the performance requirements at each layer of a system and how each outer layer drives the load at an inner layer. 📊 You can't look at the average statistics from end to end, you have to look at the ramp up time and whether the system is reaching a steady state. 🎸 Performance engineers should be the rock stars of the company, as they want the same things as the C-level and ensure efficient, cost-effective, and fast software. 🚨 Performance engineering is crucial in mission-critical systems, especially in scenarios like fire alarm systems where quick interventions are necessary. 📊 Many Computer Science graduates lack basic performance engineering knowledge, but it's crucial to being able to identify bottlenecks, understand performance requirements, and equip developers with performance hooks to optimize software systems early on. 💡Find out the different types of scalability and why each are important.  https://lnkd.in/e2veTUfr #softwareengineering #performanceengineering #loadtesting #performance #quality

As Australia’s No.1 Serverless Development & Google Cloud Consultants, it may come as no surprise to hear us talking up serverless. But there really are a lot of benefits, including lower costs and higher efficiency. For developers, serverless also releases them from those routine and menial tasks associated with app scaling and server provisioning, giving IT teams more time to consider strategies or apply other solutions! Additionally, Rob, our own lead data expert, says that going serverless is great for test environments – especially when doing major transformation pieces in a company. If this transition isn’t successful, then at least there will be no fixed infrastructure costs, thanks to serverless. 😀 #serverless #infrastructure #it #cloud #googlecloud #techteam #server #data #scaling #techlife #australianbusiness #costsaving #digitaltransformation

Super important: Why you should have multiple backups sometimes Google recently made a major error by inadvertently deleting the private Google Cloud account of UniSuper, a $125 billion Australian pension fund. This mishap left over half a million UniSuper members unable to access their accounts for nearly a week, as reported by The Guardian. Fortunately, UniSuper had a backup account with another cloud provider, allowing services to be restored by May 2. This incident underscores the critical importance of having multiple backups and a robust disaster recovery plan. In today's digital age, where businesses heavily rely on cloud services, a single point of failure can lead to significant disruptions. Ensuring redundancy across different cloud providers can safeguard against unexpected outages and data loss, ensuring continuity and reliability for your services. Always be prepared for the unexpected. Diversify your backups and protect your data to minimize risks and maintain trust with your clients.
