Building a Secure By-Design Pipeline with an Open Source Stack - Civo Navigate NA 23

Rotem Refael, Director of Engineering at Armo, delves deep into building a Secure by Design Pipeline using an open-source stack. Emphasizing the importance of the "Shift Left" strategy in the DevSecOps realm, she addresses the gaps in the traditional CI/CD pipeline and suggests comprehensive tools to address them. Rotem showcases the benefits of Kubescape, an open-source solution by Armo for Kubernetes security, and highlights the need for security gates throughout development.

Navigating IT Transformation with Automation: Your Two-pronged Strategy to Future-proof IT

Daunting. It’s one of the first words that comes to mind for IT and business leaders tackling the challenges of 2023 and looking to future-proof their organizations. IT operations (ITOps) departments are working to balance priorities during a time of growing uncertainty and pressure. ITOps is the team that keeps the lights on, and today, it must do so with enough speed to meet business demands.

Deploying a multi-availability zone Kubernetes cluster for High Availability

Many cloud infrastructure providers make deploying services as easy as a few clicks. However, making those services high availability (HA) is a different story. What happens to your service if your cloud provider has an Availability Zone (AZ) outage? Will your application still work, and more importantly, can you prove it will still work? In this blog, we'll discuss AZ redundancy with a focus on Kubernetes clusters.

Revolutionize Data Ingestion: Introducing Terraform Support for Splunk Cloud Platform

Splunk Cloud Platform has always been a powerful platform for aggregating, analyzing, and extracting actionable insights from your machine-generated data. As data volumes continue to grow exponentially, efficiently managing the ingestion of data into Splunk becomes crucial. To address this need, we are thrilled to announce the debut of Terraform support for the Splunk Cloud Platform.

Azure Integration Automates Asset Discovery on Tidal Accelerator

We’re excited to share an update on our Microsoft Azure integration that automates discovery and mapping of key cloud assets into Tidal Accelerator. Tidal has enabled a new integration that pulls information on Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure App Service, and Azure Database instances, Elastic Pools and Servers, directly into Tidal Accelerator for further analysis.

Top 5 Resiliency Trends of 2023

In today’s world, resilience is no longer a conditioned desire or methodology to try but has become a necessity for sustained success in software development and IT operations. As DevOps and Agile teams keep moving forward to cross boundaries, come up with new methodologies, and drive innovation, it is now important to have the ability to quickly recover from failures, adapt to changing conditions, and maintain high performance under pressure.

Graphite vs Prometheus

Graphite and Prometheus are both great tools for monitoring networks, servers, other infrastructure, and applications. Both Graphite and Prometheus are what we call time-series monitoring systems, meaning they both focus on monitoring metrics that record data points over time. At MetricFire we offer a hosted version of Graphite, so our users can try it out on our free trial and see which works better in their case.

Monitoring Kubernetes tutorial: Using Grafana and Prometheus

Behind the trends of cloud-native architectures and microservices lies a technical complexity, a paradigm shift, and a rugged learning curve. This complexity manifests itself in the design, deployment, and security, as well as everything that concerns the monitoring and observability of applications running in distributed systems like Kubernetes. Fortunately, there are tools to help developers overcome these obstacles.
