All developers are not equal, some know how to deploy their applications, others don’t. But now it’s over! With Qovery, all developers can deploy their application in the Cloud in just a few seconds. Qovery integrates seamlessly with Github and requires no effort from the developer. We know how it can be painful for developers to deploy applications, manage staging/development/features environments, synchronize databases and all system stuff - even in the Cloud.

As developers, we need to get back to being diligent - and consistently diligent - about questions of security, provenance, reliability and availability when it comes to packages and dependencies.

Is your organization going through a DevOps transformation? Perhaps you’ve even been tasked to head up the project. And surely, part of this transformation is going to include source control management. More and more enterprise companies are using Git to manage their code and file changes. One of the most popular Git hosting services for large teams, particularly those partial to Microsoft’s robust suite of developer tools, is Azure DevOps.

In this blog series, we’ll explore a few different ways that Rancher uses TLS certificates. TLS, or Transport Layer Security, is a cryptographic protocol used to secure network communication. It is the successor to the now-deprecated Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL. You can expect to walk away with an understanding of how TLS integrates into various Rancher components, and how you can prepare your environment to properly leverage TLS in Rancher.

We have made much of why we went with Rancher’s k3s to underpin Civo’s managed Kubernetes service in posts such as Andy’s explanation of k8s vs k3s, but I wanted to take a bit of a deeper dive into k3s and why in particular it is a great technological choice for a service such as ours.

Recently, I had a scenario in which it was necessary to access the content of the source JSON message and extract a property that contains a date-time. That property was in the last object (a repeating object) for control purposes, and my first idea was to get it done with Azure Function and that’s it. But then I was thinking, if I need to use Function for all these simple tasks, what’s the point?

You might be on the move. You might be breaking into the field. You might be trying to level up with your next gig. You might be ready for a manager’s role. Regardless of the reason, you are wondering what you need to re-study for your job interviews and “homework” assignments. Even with years of experience, every new gig expects you to answer different kinds of DevOps interview questions.

The promise of Cloudsmith is simple. We ensure development teams have access to the packages they need, when they need them. And we do that through a private, cloud-based repository that can help shield the business from malware, security and licensing concerns related to the use of third party software packages, whilst giving you total control over access to your own packages.
