Collision 2021 - Securing Software Pipelines with Continuous Packaging

Building automation and security into software supply chains requires packaging source code, dependencies and containers into logical, versioned units. But, in 2021, how engineers package their software is more vital than ever, requiring a serious refresh with a name befitting its focus on security within the cloud. We call it Continuous Packaging. Now on-demand, watch our talk from Collision Conference 2021 where we explored Continuous Packaging and how it can help secure your delivery pipelines, from development through to deployment.

Trigger a Codefresh Pipeline from ArgoCD

Codefresh is an awesome platform for doing GitOps deployments to Kubernetes. Starting last year, the Codefresh team has been adding rich integrations with Argo CD and Argo Rollouts, GitOps observability dashboards, and more. Codefresh pipelines, in particular, have played an integral role in our customers’ progressive delivery workflows by allowing them to orchestrate all of the testing, analysis, and rollback activities that work in conjunction with Argo CD synchronization.

Connect Civo Kubernetes to Codefresh

Codefresh is a DevOps automation platform with Kubernetes and Docker native tools and features. You can create powerful pipelines and utilize the provided dashboards by connecting different Kubernetes clusters and registries to receive further insights into your deployments. Additionally, by enabling GitOps for your repositories you can reach the highest level of confidence in your Kubernetes deployments.

JFrog Artifactory Terraform Provider Gains Xray Functionality

A few months ago, I was asked if I wanted to develop an open-source Terraform provider. Eleanor Saitta, principal at Systems Structure Ltd, had a client who was setting up JFrog Xray across their Github repositories but didn’t want to configure each repository by hand. As an SRE who enjoys working on projects that automate away those sorts of pain points (and someone who works extensively with Terraform during their day job), this sounded like an interesting project to work on.

Sleuth + SOC 2 Type II: Our constant commitment to security

‍In Sleuth’s continuing efforts to help our customers to deliver faster and safer, we have always put security as a top-level business priority. Security and privacy of our customers’ data is always in the forefront of our design, development, and deployment concerns. We understand the level of trust our customers put in us when they connect key systems together with Sleuth.

Recover automatically from failed deployments with Argo Rollouts and Prometheus metrics

Argo Rollouts is a progressive delivery controller created for Kubernetes. It allows you to deploy your application with minimal/zero downtime by adopting a gradual way of deploying instead of taking an “all at once” approach. Argo Rollouts supercharges your Kubernetes cluster and in addition to the rolling updates you can now do In the previous article, we have seen blue/green deployments.

3D-printed, Sleuth logo UNBOXING

Andy, a regular viewer of Don's dev-focused Twitch streams, created a 3D-printed, 100 LED RGB Sleuth logo, and this is its unboxing. Don and Andy also get it working, connected to the internet, then Don extends his Twitch chat bot to allow viewers to change the logo's lights. The stream finishes with Don hooking the logo up to Twitch follow events so that when a viewer starts following, the logo lights up. This video is a lightly edited from the original Twitch stream. Huge thanks to Andy for building and sharing such a cool project!
