Tapping Native Controls in Kubernetes to Protect Your Cloud-Native Apps

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.

How to Remediate Unencrypted S3 buckets

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.

Kubernetes GitOps with Rancher Continuous Delivery

As the number of Kubernetes clusters under management increases, application owners and cluster operators need a programmatic way to approach cluster management. Rancher CD solves this by creating a git driven engine for applying cluster changes. Declarative code is stored in a git repo. As changes are committed to the repo, linked clusters are automatically updated. Gitops keeps all your clusters consistent, version controlled, and reduces the administrative burden as you scale.

DBAle 27: Continuous Delivery with Chris, Chris and Santa

In this cracker of a DBAle episode, you can not only hear, but see our Chris-tmas duo as they embark on an end-to-end database journey where even the beers are getting Festiv-O. There’s no gold, frankincense, and myrrh, instead our two (not so) wise men build and incrementally deliver NuGet presents down your pipeline chimney. So, grab yourself a beer and tune in for the last DBAle of 2020 - cheers!

Observability and AI: Better Together | Moogsoft Tech Webinar

There’s an AI-led developer and operations (DevOps) evolution afoot which is stoking SREs’ increasingly critical efforts to assure and improve the customer experience by automating the toil out of observability. This movement feeds on a supercharged process of turning telemetry into actionable insight by automatically drawing anomalies, changes and events out of the full-stack event and telemetry data, and analyzing it for correlation and causality. In a fully digital economy, a movement like this puts SREs in the driver’s seat of not just development, but of an organization’s entire success.

Speed Up Development with Automated Kubernetes Deployments

Are you or your team currently looking for your next-generation architecture? Or perhaps are you already there, but looking for the best way to automate and manage it. In this blog, we’re going to talk about deploying Rancher environments using the power of env0. Rancher is a complete software stack for teams adopting containers.

Host Your Helm Chart in ChartCenter Directly From Source

Ownership isn’t for everyone — building and maintaining an abode is a lot of trouble when all you need is a place to hang your hat. That can also be true when you’re a creator of Helm charts. You’ll certainly want the benefits of a Helm chart repository to store, version, and share your charts for deploying applications to Kubernetes.

Let's Talk: Full-Service Ownership

We recently surveyed 700 DevOps and IT practitioners around the world and found that more than 80% of organizations have experienced a significant increase in pressure on digital services since the start of the pandemic. Compared to 6 months ago, respondents reported a 47% increase in the number of daily incidents, and 62% of DevOps and IT responders work at least an extra 10 hours per week resolving incidents.
