JFrog Log Analytics with Splunk

The JFrog Platform’s unity is powered by many microservices, each with its own log record. When even a small enterprise JPD might record millions of transaction events each day, operators need to be able to connect that data to a powerful analytics tool that can help find insights. JFrog now offers some tools that make that much easier to do, through the analytics and visualization tool you already use.

JFrog Log Analytics with Elasticsearch And Kibana

The JFrog Platform’s unity is powered by many microservices, each with its own log record. When even a small enterprise JPD might record millions of transaction events each day, operators need to be able to connect that data to a powerful analytics tool that can help find insights. JFrog now offers some tools that make that much easier to do, through the analytics and visualization tool you already use, including users of Elastic Stack.

Automating your Feature Branch Repository Management with JFrog CLI

Feature branch workflows are used to isolate work done on a specific feature in a dedicated branch. This allows all development to be kept away from the team’s common codebase until completion. Essentially keeping the master safe from any risk until it is ready to be merged.

Overcoming Continuous Delivery Challenges with P2P Distribution

DevOps adoption is happening by the largest organizations across the globe. At JFrog swampUP 2020, Gal Marder, VP of DevOps Acceleration and Shimi Bandiel, solution architect of the DevOps Acceleration team at JFrog, spoke about the new challenges encountered by many of these large organizations practicing DevOps when it comes to Continuous Delivery in their CI/CD process.

Power Up Artifactory With Kustomize & Helm

Helm is the most popular templating tool for Kubernetes YAML files. Recently a new YAML overlay tool, Kustomize, has also started to become popular. In this webinar, we will discuss both these tools and when each one should be used. We will also discuss how we can combine Helm templating with Kustomize overlays to get the best of both worlds. This process enables customers to modify any Helm charts maintained by JFrog (or any other vendor), without breaking upstream compatibility. Customers can use this to continuously uptake new releases and automate their CI/CD processes.

Helm Chart Security Mitigation: Talking Back to CVEs in ChartCenter

If your Helm charts could talk, what would they say to potential users? Would they boast of the power in the Kubernetes apps they deploy? Would they warn of their dangers? Would they offer advice? In JFrog’s new ChartCenter, a community repository of publicly available Helm charts, that’s exactly what they’ll do. ChartCenter reveals to users what known risks lie within the container images deployed by every Helm chart.

Deploying Artifactory and Xray on Openshift with JFrog Operators

OpenShift operators are a method of packaging, deploying, and managing a Kubernetes application. They help handle the complex details of running containerized software, monitoring the state of the OpenShift Container Platform to make automated real time operating decisions. The OpenShift operator now available for JFrog Enterprise is compatible with OpenShift 4 and performs this automated monitoring for your deployment of Artifactory.

Unified JFrog Platform Monitoring With Prometheus and Grafana

Running the JFrog DevOps Platform on Kubernetes in your enterprise can mean serving millions of artifacts to developers and customers each day. But operating at top performance requires being able to answer some vital questions. Like what is the most requested artifact? What is the most popular repo? Who are your heaviest users? For security, which users are doing bad things, and from which IPs?

JFrog Pipelines 1.6: Overcoming CI/CD Obstacles to Scaling DevOps

Long release cycles are no longer viable in the world of software development. The promise of DevOps has been to materially shrink time to value. Like most meaningful transitions, this one hasn’t always been a simple flip of a switch. For many organizations, development teams have become complex and unwieldy. So, the custodians of DevOps have found it difficult to achieve broader adoption of DevOps principles across engineering teams.

JFrog's Bold Roadmap: The Rise of Binaries

In the annual roadmap keynote of our SwampUP 2020 conference, JFrog CTO and co-founder Yoav Landman, CPO Dror Bereznitsky and VP of Engineering Avi Cavale delivered a landmark message: If you’re not focused on binaries and distributing them to the edge, you’re risking the future of your business. Under the theme DevOps, Fast Forward, JFrog’s annual user conference showcased how the impact of the global pandemic has accelerated companies’ digital transformation plans.

Stretch Your Reach with Unified JFrog Data and Elastic

DevOps teams rely on Artifactory as the bread and butter tool of universal binary repo managers, but observing its operations can be challenging. With multiple high availability nodes and unification with Xray as the JFrog DevOps Platform, that operations data is spread out across logs for each service in the JFrog Platform deployment. Operations teams need a view into valuable data insights that can only be gained through real time data mining and observation of the platform.

How To Deploy Artifactory via Operator in Openshift - John Peterson, Senior Partner Engineer, JFrog

In this lightning talk you will learn the basics of k8s operators and how they work in the Openshift environment. We will also go over the Openshift Operator Lifecycle and explain the stages and steps that take place to get the operator from the OperatorHub and deploy it into your Openshift environment. A demonstration will be done showing Artifactory being deployed into a new Openshift cluster to provide a learning experience on how Artifactory can quickly and easily be deployed into Openshift. Finally we will have a Q&A session to help answer any questions you may have about the integration and how you can use it.

Let's Dive In: JFrog Unified Platform and Splunk - John Peterson, Senior Partner Engineer, JFrog

In our lightning talking will we cover the JFrog Unified Platform integration with Splunk for a wholistic analytics view into the unified platform logs. Combining the two best of breed applications makes tremendous sense for an enterprise without it valuable data insights are lost as well as any action the business might have taken. We will cover how to setup this integration, valuable data insights that can be gained, and how you can extend this integration to discover all new data insights you will wished you always had.

Operations teams need to automate deployment of applications, and Helm is the industry-standard solution for deploying to Kubernetes. Like many software vendors, we provide Helm charts for installing Artifactory and other JFrog DevOps platform products, designed for the standard/recommended configurations most teams will need. These templates provide customers a limited set of configuration options.

DevSecOps for Kubernetes-based Applications

In this webinar, we will discuss concerns over security, privacy, and compliance holding back organizations from making the move to fully cloud-native initiatives. As more and more companies orchestrate their containerized applications in Kubernetes, enabling DevSecOps and continuous security becomes a must. We will look at the end-to-end SDLC process - from the first line of code up to an application running in a Kubernetes cluster - to examine the importance of DevSecOps.

Live or Die by 2022: DevOps in the Digital-First Economy

For companies to survive until 2022, they’ll need to focus on two things: Binaries and Edges. We’ve just wrapped up swampUP 2020, where we showcased this bold idea. We heard from you firsthand how DevOps Fast Forward is a must, and how software must be able to be distributed anywhere to enable the continuity of any business. Your experience confirmed how the global crisis has accelerated the digital transformation in your companies.
