KubeCon is the major cloud-native gathering of thousands of people from around the globe. The event is attended by many emerging startups and companies working on revolutionary products around Kubernetes, security, containers, and DevOps. It is a great opportunity to share insights and collaborate on various community projects.

Good incident management is critical to the successful running of any business. Get it wrong, and you risk damaging customer trust, brand reputation and, above all, your bottom line. In this article we’ll give you a 101 on incident management: what is it, why does it matter, and how can you do it well?

We are excited to announce some big changes for Bitbucket Cloud invitations. Over the next week we will begin progressively rolling out a new, more intuitive way to invite new members to your workspace with increased management controls and transparency. As part of Atlassian's cloud-first strategy, Bitbucket Cloud is investing in more and more enterprise capabilities to ensure a seamless experience for customers migrating from Server? Cloud.

Qovery provides fast implementation and maintenance of your cloud infrastructure while taking care of end-to-end DevOps tasks. It even manages your Kubernetes clusters for you. It gives developers autonomy because it is effortless and does not need a vast DevOps workforce. With a few clicks, a developer can create a replica of the production environment and deploy their code easily, but where should you start, and with what?

In technology, nothing is static. We need to be open to experimenting with new platforms and avoid getting locked into any one single entity or technological solution. With all the recent events, many people are looking for alternatives where they can post microblogging content like they did on Twitter. Mastodon has recently become significantly more popular due to its decentralised nature and the power of enabling different communities to define themselves.

Securing a Kubernetes cluster is far from a simple task. How do you know if you have correctly configured volumeMounts in your in-cluster containers? And what about all those workload resources, such as Deployments, Jobs, Pods, etc? Luckily, you can use Kubewarden, an efficient Kubernetes policy engine that runs policies compiled to Wasm. This means you can run powerful specifically-written policies, our reuse existing Rego policies for example.

One of the key attributes of DevOps and SRE engineers is their ability to meticulously observe and monitor all of their applications. A task which can be achieved more efficiently by centralizing all generated logs to a central endpoint. By centralizing logging, engineers can, at any time, have an accurate overview of all events which take place across their applications, from just one place. Storing logs in an external system also allows companies to ensure compliance with many certifications.

The Serverless framework is an open-source framework written in Node.js that simplifies the development and deployment of AWS Lambda functions. It frees you from worrying about how to package and deploy the application to the cloud, so you can focus on your application logic. Serverless applications are distributed by design, so good code coverage is vital, and should include unit testing.
