CommPulse

shipped an LLM feature, felt fine at launch, moved on to other work. a while later the bill showed up noticeably higher than expected and that was the first real signal anything had changed. no alert, no dashboard flag, just a number at the end of the month that made me go "wait, what happened." went back and actually set up proper tracing and token/cost monitoring per request instead of just trusting it'd be fine, and found a specific workflow was making way more calls than i thought due to a retry loop that wasn't being logged anywhere visible. it had been quietly running up cost for weeks with zero visibility until the invoice. also added latency budgets and caching for repeated queries after this, which cut cost noticeably on top of the retry fix. feels like a pretty basic devops instinct (you monitor what you ship, you don't wait for the bill) that somehow gets skipped constantly once "AI feature" is involved, like people ship LLM stuff with less observability discipline than they'd ever accept for a normal service. anyone else's team caught something similar the hard way before actually building proper monitoring in from the start submitted by /u/camerongreen95 [link] [comments]

Anyone using Azure files for file shares for remote employees? I have seen horror stories in the past but saw some positive reviews on it recently. I am an Entra ID, cloud only shop and the new updates to the service look promising. submitted by /u/DickBalczak [link] [comments]

So I'm wondering how people are registering Yubikeys for Microsoft tenant GA accounts that are cloud only. We don't login to a computer with those accounts and when I open up a browser to set up the key it wants to tie it to the device and the account in currently logged into the computer with. Is there a workaround? submitted by /u/The_Ent1 [link] [comments]

Does anyone have recommendations for a replacement UPS. The company that I work for has two server rooms. In each server room there is a tower UPS unit that provides 120v/240v single phase power to the equipment in our server room. The UPS unit is no longer supported and the support that we had on the unites cannot get replacement parts (new or used). The power usage in our server room is currently using about 5kw. We would like to have about 30 minutes of backup to allow us to shut down our servers in case the building's generator fails to start. The buildings are in southwest Michigan; we are also looking at companies to provide support on the units also. submitted by /u/gizmo_202010 [link] [comments]

Should we as admins just assume that once a system boots and seemingly all Data is restored that after a major security incident the system would work? Im talking about more or less complex systems that maybe communicate to a variety of other clients and servers maybe have an API etc etc. What is best practice here in big comapnies? just pray all the servers will work with each other after a major incident? submitted by /u/Lockenheada [link] [comments]

Hi all, Wanting to get some recommendations for a new precision screwdriver set for mainly laptop/desktop/server work. The one i have currently has been with us around 6 years, and it's about time to retire it, some tips are rusting a little, and most are a little bent/chewed up. It was one of the cheapest on amazon at the time, so genuinely surprised it lasted this long. Any recommendations for a kit that will stand the test of time. submitted by /u/WelcomeFun9037 [link] [comments]

Hi All, I'm currently testing Azure File Shares with ADDS Identity-based access. After a few issues, its now working well. However, I have just come across a user who cannot connect to the share. The user has CBA configured which I think is the cause. They repeatedly get username and password errors. If I run klist, I get the following error. klist get cifs/testshare.file.core.windows.net Error calling API LsaCallAuthenticationPackage (GetTicket substatus): 0x6fb klist failed with 0xc000018b/-1073741429: The SAM database on the Windows Server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship. So it looks like the user is not getting any Kerberos tickets. Has anyone else come across this before? submitted by /u/No-Pack8932 [link] [comments]

Any advice is appreciated. Users will just select a few dropdowns on the web app to help them generate a file name sample, so I don't foresee heavy usage on the server. submitted by /u/psgda [link] [comments]

Hi, I'm pretty new to Kinesis and I can't find a definite answer to this. When does it make sense to use Firehose on its own vs using it in combination with MSK or Data Streams? It is my understanding that Firehose allows for high data troughput on its own, so in which case does it make sense to manage Data Stream shards and incur potentially more costs while Firehose can be used directly? Should Data Steam / MSK only be used when the Firehose throughput limitations are exceeded? Thanks submitted by /u/JustBeLikeAndre [link] [comments]

Is a multi-region Artifact Registry highly available? As in, 1) the image is replicated to two or more regions, and 2) one of those regions will serve images to cloud run if the other is down? The doc isn't very explicit on this, it just says it " may continue to work ". https://docs.cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/repositories/repo-locations I'm aware I could use multiple single-region registries in locations matching my cloud runs, but if there is a way to avoid that by using built-in functionality I would rather do that. submitted by /u/berzed [link] [comments]

Do you have any recommendations for naming tables and custom tables in Azure when an organization has hundreds of tables from more than 50 data sources? How can the naming convention be designed so that the tables remain clear and consistent? submitted by /u/Forsaken-Ad-1179 [link] [comments]

I'm currently working as an Azure Administrator Trainee and in total I have experience of 3yrs in IT at a MNC(service-based company) and will be graduating from the trainee program in about 2 months. The usual salary after graduation is around ₹30–40k/month , with ₹45k being quite rare, so I'm planning my next move. My work includes: Managing Azure VMs, backups, and snapshots. Azure App Registrations, Enterprise Apps, SSO, Service Principals, secrets, and certificates. Azure cost optimization and operational reporting. Worked on an Azure Application Gateway migration. I currently have AZ-900 and plan to complete AZ-104 , then learn Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, CI/CD, and automation. My goal is to switch into a Cloud/DevOps Engineer role and eventually reach ₹12–15 LPA within 1-2 yrs. Is this a realistic target? What type of companies and roles should I aim for to get there? submitted by /u/Boring-Cap-1594 [link] [comments]

Hi, Its aurora mysql Serverless v2 (Max up to 80 ACUs). Suddenly , we saw with bit high concurrency , the application hits a hard JDBC query timeout, killing the thread and throwing this error: " Database Query Time out. Exception: JDBC exception executing SQL [(conn=548672) Table './rdsdbdata/tmp/#sql171_85f40_1' doesn't exist] " Some team members are suggesting to bump both temptable_max_ram and temptable_max_mmap from 1GB to 2GB to give the query more breathing room. However, checking performance_schema.variables_info reveals that temptable_max_** is currently showing below: VARIABLE_NAME current_value_bytes current_value_MB VARIABLE_SOURCE VARIABLE_PATH temptable_max_mmap 1073741824 1024 GLOBAL /etc/my.cnf temptable_max_ram 1073741824 1024 COMPILED Want to know if this is correct setting and Is it advisable to bump these values to 2GB. Want to confirm the safest parameter strategy for temporary storage thresholds in the meantime we tune the query? submitted by /u/Upper-Lifeguard-8478 [link] [comments]

User is having issues with calendars that users have previously shared to them, or they have because of Shared Mailboxes etc. So, I'm wanting to easily find a way who the owner is of those calendars. As far as I'm aware there is no feature like this inside of the GUI on any 365 Admin Center. I've tried a few Powershell commands such as Get-EXOMailboxFolderPermission -Identity UPN:\Calendar - This command obviously only outputs the User's owned calendars, and not if it is shared. Plus there is 100 Mailboxes within the tenant. Is there any way to figure this out? submitted by /u/ArmyCommander6948 [link] [comments]

I manage a small customer support team and I answer the exact same questions from new staff members. We have written instructions but people either can't find them or they're already outdated.

Hello everyone, First of all: This issue occurs on two separate ThinkPad L14 Gen 4 laptops. So, onto the actual problem: We had some L14 Gen 4 units sitting in storage that we needed, so we unpacked them, charged the batteries, set the date and time, and applied our Windows image. After that completed, we ran Lenovo System Update (as always) and installed all required and recommended updates (including BIOS, Intel firmware, etc.). After the updates finished, the system rebooted, and from that point on, the Intel I219-V Ethernet interface stopped working. In Device Manager, the status shows: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" , and in the UEFI, the internal MAC address is listed as 00-00-00-00-00-00. The issue is identical on both devices. What we have tried so far to resolve the issue: BIOS/UEFI reset (via the emergency reset hole, via "Restore Factory Defaults", and by removing both the CMOS battery and internal battery for several minutes while holding down the power button). A clean Windows installation does not change the outcome. Reinstalling all drivers individually from Lenovo and running Lenovo System Update again does not fix it either. I found an Intel tool meant to clear and rebuild the Ethernet module's NVRAM/flash memory. However, it refuses to run, claiming a missing 2023 Secure Boot certificate even though the certificate is present in the BIOS/UEFI. Both were brand new, factory-sealed devices before this, but they had been in storage for a while, so the warranty has expired. Side note: Wi-Fi works fine, and LAN works without issues when connected via a docking station. Does anyone have any ideas? Could this be a corrupted/defective update from Lenovo? It can't be a coincidence that the exact same problem occurred on two separate, independent devices. submitted by /u/FkGamingFX [link] [comments]
