One of our most commonly requested integrations, Datadog cloud monitoring, was announced last week on the Datadog blog! Sleuth organizes your deployments into projects, which collect and organize key data from your code sources and their associated staging environments. This data consists of metrics and errors.

When we were building out our first UI at Speedscale we wanted to get something up and running quickly. Fortunately there are a ton of options of web frameworks that can be used to throw together a quick “hello world” kind of application. However, a SaaS application needs a lot more than just displaying data. It needs to handle user authentication, loading data from a backend API, displaying data in a variety of formats, etc.

DevOps practices, and the teams that implement them, are becoming increasingly critical to the value which any company provides its customers. This was the key message throughout a recent fireside chat between DevOps Institute Chief Ambassador Helen Beal and Moogsoft VP of Product and Design Adam Frank. A great paradox of the digital era is that, once written, software is invisible to those who write it.

We created the Fleet Project to provide centralized GitOps-style management of a large number of Kubernetes clusters. A key design goal of Fleet is to be able to manage 1 million geographically distributed clusters. When we architected Fleet, we wanted to use a standard Kubernetes controller architecture. This meant in order to scale, we needed to prove we could scale Kubernetes much farther than we ever had.

By design and tradition, telecoms networks are built to last. But in a world where the rate of innovation seems to be accelerating, the end result is that a lot of legacy infrastructure needs to keep pace with, and accommodate, multiple ‘next generation’ phases. How long this can be maintained before the imperative to rip and replace becomes impossible to ignore is the multi-million-dollar question.

A few years ago, we realized that spending in our AWS product test environment had jumped significantly from one month to the next. We drilled down into the issue and traced it to some RDS database instances that had been spun up to test new product features. No one realized that these expensive instances were left running after the tests were complete, and subsequently racking up charges for several months.

San Jose, CA, November 11, 2020 – A vast majority (84%) of companies considered “digital leaders” by IDC, a leading provider of global IT research and advice, are turning to a hybrid cloud approach as they adopt public cloud services to improve IT service delivery.

In this blog, we will go through an example of how you can use the Cloudsmith Terraform Provider to provision resources in Cloudsmith, such as repositories and entitlement tokens. HashiCorp Terraform is an awesome Continuous Configuration Automation tool. It is used to provision, update and manage infrastructure resources such as Cloud instances, containers, physical machines and more. It is a firm favourite among developers, due to its brilliant community and mix of power and simplicity.

We’ve had an exciting year here at Puppet, and although it’s not the year we could have expected, I’m encouraged and inspired every day by the resilience of our team, our commitment to each other, and our drive to help customers navigate through so much uncertainty and change.
