First things first, why would you want to collect logs from Palo Alto and send them to a Cloud SIEM? There are many reasons. At its core, having a centralized location with a consistent user experience for managing alerts, notifications, and information coming from the technologies securing your environment can provide value in a lot of ways. In this blog, we’ll discuss how to collect, parse, and analyze Palo Alto logs in Logz.io Cloud SIEM, and how it can help secure your cloud workloads.

Kubernetes is the world’s leading container orchestration platform. Its cloud agnostic status enables you to manage your workloads with ease, whether they reside in the cloud or on-premises. It has reduced the necessity of being locked into services provided by a cloud provider as well as the need for an entire operations team to manage large workloads on-premises on virtualization platforms.

Software monitoring allows developers and IT professionals to observe events occurring within a monitored system. The data gathered by monitoring processes offers visibility into how the monitored entity is behaving and provides warning signs indicating that some aspect of the system deserves greater attention. More and more software is migrating to the cloud, and monolithic software is being decomposed into microservices to create distributed applications.

As the team responsible for building dormakaba’s first cloud-access control solution, Exivo, the Cloud Development team at dormakaba AS EMEA needed a logging solution that with scalable logging throughout their global environment, handle a huge amount of throughput, be piped through an API, and remain highly secure so it could be implemented on the doors and entry systems the company produces. Logz.io was the perfect fit for these requirements.

Kinesis is a managed, high-performance and large-capacity service for real time processing of (live) streaming data. Prominent users include Netflix, Comcast and Major League Baseball. Its design to let it grab data from multiple sources at the same time and to scale processing within EC2 instances.

In a previous article, we examined service meshes in detail. Briefly, a service mesh takes care of network functionality for the applications running on your platform. As Kubernetes has matured as a technology, service meshes have become a hot topic, with various products being developed to solve the challenges associated with areas like traffic management, security, and observability. This article will compare three service meshes.

Microservices constantly change in containerized environs, making pod or node identification and their logging more of a challenge. Autodiscover simplifies monitoring movements in these sorts of environments—places like Kubernetes and Docker. Autodiscover allows you to track pods and adapt settings as changes happen in your environment.

Snyk is a developer-centric company whose raison d’être is to identify and patch vulnerabilities in open source security software. With about 50 engineers, Snyk VP Engineering Anton Drukh wants to maintain flexibility in how the team operates. The best way to ensure that is to give them as much insight into their own work as possible, and hence options. They also look at the state of open source security across the industry.

New technology presents itself as a difference-maker. Every new application has the power to streamline routine tasks or faulty systems. But a dose of reality can damper the hype, as the Iowa caucuses app did this week. Instead of hope and hype, they inspire doubt and maybe scorn. With democracy, there is also a fear that we don’t control our own votes—hackers or foreign powers might be trying to steal the results for their own reasons.

You might be on the move. You might be breaking into the field. You might be trying to level up with your next gig. You might be ready for a manager’s role. Regardless of the reason, you are wondering what you need to re-study for your job interviews and “homework” assignments. Even with years of experience, every new gig expects you to answer different kinds of DevOps interview questions.
