The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
In this excellent YouTube video – Marcel Dempers aka That DevOps Guy explains how Shipa abstracts Kubernetes away from developers so they can focus on coding while providing the controls the DevOps team needs. With Shipa – not a single yaml is needed to deploy an application across multiple clouds. See for yourself…
We’re almost there, 2021 is just around the corner. Like many others, we at Canonical have a deep appreciation for all things Raspberry Pi. We see the good they do and the joy they bring and can’t help but be impressed. This year marks the beginning of a stronger collaboration between the folks at Raspberry Pi and us at Canonical. We are by no means done and still have a long way to go. But we have made strides in the right direction.
Persistent connections allow HAProxy to optimize resource usage, lower latency on both the client and server side, and support connection pooling. HTTP is a layer 7 protocol that’s transmitted over a TCP connection. It works in a client-server model and follows the request-response paradigm, which means that a client sends a request to a server, which then replies with a response. From this statement, you can infer two different ways of operating.
As companies adopt container technologies, they face a significant challenge - how do we secure this new attack surface? It’s an issue that you often see backlogged in favor of solving storage, networking and monitoring issues. Add on the challenge of educating the workforce on one of the fastest-growing open source projects to date, and it’s no wonder security has lagged as the primary focus for teams.
Cloud environments are always susceptible to security issues. A significant contributor to this problem is misconfigured resources. Traditional IT Infrastructure was somewhat static; server hardware only changed every few years. With few changes occurring, security was also more static. The modern cloud environment is a much different challenge. In cloud environments, servers, services, and storage are created with automation, resulting in a dynamic and potentially ever-changing server environment.
