Now you see me, now you don't: feature-flagging with LaunchDarkly at incident.io

At incident.io, we ship fast. We're talking multiple times a day, every day (yes, including Fridays). Once I merge a pull request (PR), my changes rocket their way into production without me lifting a finger. 💅 It's when we tackle larger projects that this becomes a bit more complicated. We recently launched Announcement Rules, which let you configure which channels incident announcements are posted in depending on criteria you define.

Unboxing BusyBox - 14 new vulnerabilities uncovered by Claroty and JFrog

Embedded devices with limited memory and storage resources are likely to leverage a tool such as BusyBox, which is marketed as the Swiss Army Knife of embedded Linux. BusyBox is a software suite of many useful Unix utilities, known as applets, that are packaged as a single executable file. Within BusyBox you can find a full-fledged shell, a DHCP client/server, and small utilities such as cp, ls, grep, and others.

Kubernetes Application-Level API

The Kubernetes API is the front end of the Kubernetes control plane and is how users can interact with their clusters. In essence, it’s the interface used to manage, create, and configure the cluster and the state of objects. Using a standard API, Kubernetes allowed teams to focus on constructs and consume infrastructure across different providers.

What do Top-Performing IT Organizations do Differently Than the Rest of Us?

The whole point of monitoring and managing your IT services is to ensure that they’re able to keep business services available and responsive to customer demands. But how do you actually quantify the return on investment you get from your IT performance management solutions? Digital Enterprise Journal set out to answer that question in its new research study, The Total Business Impact of IT Performance.

Cloud Computing; Basic Walk-through

Cloud computing is the on demand delivery of IT solutions. Instead of investing capital in buying, owning, and maintaining physical servers and data centers, cloud computing enable the organizations to access the services such as, computing, storages, and databases, whenever required from the desired cloud providers. Now, let us move ahead and have a look at some of the key benefits of cloud computing.

Improve Your Automation and Reduce Toil

In the course of your day as an SRE, or DevOps, or SysAdmin, your knowledge and expertise are in high demand. You can’t do every task every person in your org needs from you without the help of comprehensive automation. Automation can be tricky. Some systems aren’t built with automation in mind, but assume that a human being will be there to keep an eye on things and fix errors on the fly, and we can’t be everywhere when there’s too much to do. Plus, you want to provide access to automation for the right folks and keep a record of when the tools were used.

Infrastructure as Code, part 1: create a Kubernetes cluster with Terraform

This series shows you how to get started with infrastructure as code (IaC). The goal is to help developers build a strong understanding of IaC through tutorials and code examples. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an integral part of modern continuous integration pipelines. It is the process of managing and provisioning cloud and IT resources using machine readable definition files.

What is Kubernetes Lens?

As a DevOps Engineer, one day you’re performing magic in the terminal, settling clusters, and feeling like a god. On some other days, you feel like a total fraud and scam. Errors and bugs appear from everywhere, you don’t know where to start, and you don’t know where to look. Sadly, days like this come far too often. To be more specific, what often causes these bad days is none other than Kubernetes itself.

Embrace your updates - creating a world of daily software releases without fear!

Imagine a world where we would all enjoy updating the software we use. A world where software producers could be excited about releasing every day without fear. This is the future of 'liquid software', when updates, like water, run freely to all corners of the world. In this session, JFrog co-founder and chief data scientist Fred Simon will share his vision of achieving trusted continuous updates in the DevOps world, in which software is constant. He will show us why continuous software updates are critical for our modern world.
