Here we are in our twenty-third year, and open source HAProxy is going strong. HAProxy is the world’s fastest and most widely used software load balancer, with over one billion downloads on Docker Hub. It is the G2 category leader in API management, container networking, DDoS protection, web application firewall (WAF), and load balancing.
Security is and will always be a huge concern, and Platform Engineering is here to stay: so, what are some Platform Engineering best practices that can support your data security and privacy efforts? You’d be surprised where they overlap, and what you can learn about putting security and productivity together — we’ll explain.
Using Apache Zipkin is important because it provides detailed, end-to-end tracing of requests across distributed systems, helping to identify latency issues and performance bottlenecks. Monitoring your Zipkin environment is crucial to ensure the reliability and performance of your tracing system, allowing you to quickly detect and address any anomalies or downtime.
Even the most skilled software and database developers, DBAs, architects, managers, and analysts benefit from using GUI clients for SQL databases. Compared to manual input of text-based commands in one’s console, such tools give you way more efficiency.
Organizations are constantly seeking ways to optimize their IT operations, reduce costs, and improve flexibility. One trend gaining popularity is the shift from Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). This migration is driven by several factors, including the desire for greater flexibility, improved scalability, reduced vendor lock-in, and access to the rich feature set offered by Kubernetes.
A leading retailer based in the U.K., in early 2021, was in search of help to solve a few problems its business was facing, and so they decided to implement automation—starting with the resolution of service desk tickets. There were too many tasks and processes that the company’s IT team was completing manually. They needed to automate such repetitive work, with the potential to build onto other automations already in place.
In CI/CD workflows, leaked credentials pose a significant threat, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, and system compromises, ultimately disrupting development pipelines and undermining the integrity of software deployment processes.
Join Josh Mesout and Rishit Dagli in our in-depth workshop on Kubeflow as a Service, aimed at demystifying the deployment of machine learning models using open-source tools. This Civo Navigate 24 session caters to participants of all skill levels in machine learning, Kubernetes, and ML infrastructure. It covers foundational aspects of Kubeflow, dives into advanced tools like Llama 2 and Kerve, and showcases how to use these models as cost-effective alternatives to services like ChatGPT.
Check out how Nagarro used Gremlin to help a client prevent a cascading failure before it caused an outage. "Once we had tested a critical software that was doing millions of online transactions on a daily basis. The design was fail safe, providing redundancy on critical services by having multiple instances deployed on different VMs. What we did was we ran a virtual machine terminate test to bring down an instance of that service with the hypothesis that it will recover automatically. Well, the service did recover automatically, but the system saw a cascading failure.
