Network-As-A-Service And The Cloud

The almost wholesale shift of enterprise workloads into the public cloud have cemented the appeal of greater business flexibility and agility through on-demand consumption of services (X-as-a-Service) and pay-as-you-go pricing. But bridging the connectivity gap between the enterprise network and the cloud is a complex process and one where one size does not fit all.

HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller Reaches 10 Million Community Downloads

It’s almost wild how two years have passed already since we first announced the HAProxy Ingress Controller for Kubernetes. Note that this project is different from the jcmoraisjr/haproxy-ingress HAProxy ingress controller project on GitHub. Our project is also an open-source project, but it is overseen by engineers at HAProxy Technologies, which has allowed us to streamline its release cycle.

Your RTC Services Are Better Off When They Are Cloud Native

Attend this webinar to learn from the SBC experts at Ribbon Communications. Hear why service providers will significantly benefit when their SBCs are based on cloud-native design principles and deployed in Kubernetes-orchestrated containers. Specific topics of discussion will address how: Given the continued importance of real-time voice and video communications, now is the right time to finalize plans that will move SBCs and RTC services along to the next step in the journey on the cloud migration path.

SBC Interoperability: How Do I know if This Works with That?

Growing up, I was the youngest member of my family, so I was not very fond of the game “Keep Away” that my older brothers liked to play. The idea of the game (it has a few different names) is that two people toss a ball back and forth while the third person stands in the middle and tries to intercept it.

Ubuntu 20.04 Now Supported!

Announcing support for Ubuntu 20.04 on all Cloud 66 products (including registered servers). From this point onward, brand new applications will have Ubuntu 20.04 installed. We will continue to install Ubuntu 18.04 when scaling up servers in an existing application. Don't forget, you can control your target Ubuntu version through your manifest! It has been a while in the building and testing (and dependency pruning), but we are now very pleased to make it public.

The Vulnerability Conundrum: Improving the Disclosure Process

The vulnerability disclosure process involves reporting security flaws in software or hardware, and can be complex. Cooperation between the organization responsible for the software or hardware, and the security researcher who discovers the vulnerability can be complicated. In this blog we’ll look at the vulnerability disclosure process, the parties involved and how they can collaborate productively.

How Netflix, Lyft, Slack, And Other Top Tech Brands Manage Cloud Costs

Breakthroughs in engineering best practices often stem from a handful of top tech companies. Many of them share their behind-the-scenes stories at conferences, in blogs, and slide decks — or open source code. These companies invest millions of dollars and dedicated headcount in optimizing everything from uptime to engineering velocity — so why wouldn’t you look to them for inspiration?
