Managing Your Hyperconverged Network with Harvester

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a data center architecture that uses software to provide a scalable, efficient, cost-effective way to deploy and manage resources. HCI virtualizes and combines storage, computing, and networking into a single system that can be easily scaled up or down as required.

Automatically scale self-hosted runners in AWS to meet demand

Self-hosted runners allow you to host your own scalable execution environments in your private cloud or on-premises, giving you more flexibility to customize and control your CI/CD infrastructure. Teams with unique security or compute requirements can set up and start using self-hosted runners in under five minutes.

Unified Observability is the Solution IT Has Been Waiting For

IT teams have been relying on observability tools to (theoretically) provide intelligence and insights into operating conditions within an organization’s digital infrastructure for years. But most of these tools have come with significant shortcomings that leave IT teams wanting more.

Introduction to Confidential Computing

Public clouds are great! Yet, many users are still reluctant towards moving their security-sensitive workloads away from their private data centers and into the public cloud, due to a set of security concerns. To address these challenges, what we need is a way to perform a privacy-preserving computation that can protect the confidentiality and integrity of your workload. Confidential computing achieves this by running your workload in a hardware-encrypted execution environment, that is isolated from the cloud provider’s privileged system software (e.g. hypervisor, host OS, and firmware), as well as its employees.

Get to the Good Stuff

This video blew us away. In 15 seconds, Frito-Lay illustrated the deliciousness of Tostitos® Salsa comes down to 3 simple, wholesome ingredients with transparent packaging that enhances the flavor experience. With ultimate visibility, you can see the quality right through the jar. Man, we couldn’t stop talking about the genius of it all. We boiled that 15 seconds down even further. “3 ingredients. Chop, chop. Yum, yum.” (By my count, that’s 8 seconds)

7 Ways to Accelerate Cloud Native Development

Modern enterprises understand the need to move away from developing monolithic applications to ones that make best use of the cloud to enable business acceleration at scale and speed. That means transforming development to more resilient cloud native architectures that can be readily deployed to cloud, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments. What does it mean to be cloud native?
