    Talking Proactive Optimization, ChatGPT Issues & More

    Powerful things happen when ITOps teams move beyond a break-fix approach and lean into proactive optimization.  Instead of just responding to issues as they occur, when teams have independent visibility into their end-to-end service delivery chain, they can proactively identify possible areas for optimization and improvement. For example, streamlining one small part of a complex process could shave seconds off the total transaction time; do this for every part of the process, and the efficiency savings can quickly add up. In recent weeks, it appeared OpenAI’s ChatGPT may have been undergoing this type of optimization, as we observed material improvements in page load times and some evidence suggesting possible configuration changes and re-architecture in the pursuit of performance improvements. Read on to learn more about what we saw at ChatGPT, as well as insights from incidents at companies including Grammarly, Bluesky, and Netflix, or use the chapters below to jump to the sections that most interest you.

    DORA & ITOps Best Practices; Plus BMO, Google Outages

    The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) goes into effect on January 17, 2025, and financial institutions serving the EU will need to meet an enhanced set of requirements related to risk management, network resilience, and incident reporting. While DORA is directly applicable to EU financial institutions, it prompts important discussions about resilience and ensuring digital experiences that are relevant for all IT operations teams, regardless of industry or region. Tune in to the podcast to hear The Internet Report team and special guest Bernie Clairmont, Product Solution Architect at ThousandEyes, dive deeper into DORA. As usual, we’ll also unpack recent outages from the last few weeks, examining the DDoS attacks against the Internet Archive as well as some power and cooling problems at Google Cloud.
