March 31, London – Canonical today announced the general availability of OpenStack Yoga on Ubuntu 22.04 Long Term Support (LTS) Beta and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This new version of OpenStack sets a foundation for next-generation, highly performant infrastructure as needed by telco NFV, media streaming, traffic analysis and HPC services, using SmartNIC cards and integrating them with the Neutron Open Virtual Network (OVN) driver.

In this article, we will cover how you can combine some of the most powerful tools available to developers–VS Code and Git–to start making meaningful contributions to both open source and private projects. Before we get into driving Git with VS Code let’s start with some background.

The DevOps and Platform Engineering space certainly is one that evolves fast. As new development paradigms get consumed, supporting the development pipeline is crucial. Pushing a public release of v0.2.x on March 30th, 2022, Dagger, from the creators of Docker, is another approach in portability and consistency in CI/CD pipelines. What the Docker Container has done applications, Dagger is hoping to achieve that with CI/CD pipelines.

UPDATE 6 April 2022: There are times where we have to revisit our plan, and today is one of those times. Last week, we released a fix to solve some inconsistencies in how our development URLs are generated. Even though this change was not impacting any production environments, many customers reported that it was breaking their test integrations with third-party services, or that they were reaching a provisioning limit with our Let’s Encrypt certificates.

Shipping complex applications at high velocity lead to increased failures. Longer pipelines, scattered microservices, and more code inherently lead to bigger complexity where small mistakes may cost you big time.

Interlink Software’s AIOps Platform is now listed on VMware Marketplace – residing in the Management and Monitoring category. VMware Marketplace offers ITOps, DevOps and SREs a comprehensive catalog of solutions across fifteen distinct solution categories.

In this k6 series I have covered HTTP request testing with k6 and performance testing with k6. I designed these tutorials to introduce you to k6 and to show you how to use k6 for performance testing of microservices. As the third tutorial in the k6 series, this will cover how you can store your k6 test results locally and also how to schedule your load tests using CircleCI’s scheduled pipelines feature.

At Lightspeed, we maintain multiple large iOS projects as well as their modularized dependencies. The last year of acquisitions brought together many different approaches to CI/CD at our company. I recently led the initiative to bring these projects and practices into alignment. In this post, I will explain the goals we had for our continuous integration pipeline and the implementations we used to achieve them.
