It's no secret that the popularity of running containerized applications has exploded over the past several years. Being able to iterate and release an application by provisioning its dependencies through code is a big win. According to Gartner, “More than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production” by 2022.
Have you been attending Stackery’s Serverless Summer School? As a non-engineer, I’ll admit, I was a little nervous. Was it going to be over my head? Would I spend the entire Twitch stream furiously writing down all the terms I didn’t know so that I could ask about them later? Would my brain need some debugging after trying to download a bunch of information that I didn’t really get?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol commonly used to provide secure network communication between web servers and browsers. TLS has been the main communication security strategy since 2015, when its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), was declared insufficiently secure by RFC 7568.
The Grafana Labs community has more than 600 developers around the world who contribute to our open source projects. From time to time, they also ask really great questions about how to get started in Grafana, how to solve an issue, or how to implement best practices for various functions. Here are three questions that have gotten some of the most clicks on the Grafana community board – and the answers from Grafana Labs’ Director of Software Engineering, Daniel Lee.
Does your team use Azure DevOps for tracking work? You’re going to love our latest integration if that’s the case. You can now create and resolve Work Items in Azure DevOps directly from Rollbar, making error monitoring and debugging even faster. This is the latest addition to our toolkit for the Microsoft ecosystem (read about our Azure Active Directory integration). It reinforces our mission to help software developers build software quickly and painlessly.
Is monitoring in the cloud special enough to warrant a list of tips and best practices? We think so. On the one hand, monitoring in the cloud might seem easy since there is a large number of solutions to choose from. On the other hand, though, the dynamic and distributed nature of the cloud can make the process much more challenging. In this article, we’ll cover ten tips and best practices that will help you ace your cloud monitoring game.
We’ve built a lot of amazing things into the open-source Netdata monitoring system. But, no matter how far we’ve come, we’ll always be proud of how little RAM it uses. Right now, Netdata stores metrics in your system’s RAM using a ridiculously efficient database. It only saves or loads historical metrics from disk when you restart it. With this system, Netdata can be both low-resource and exhaustive in its collection of real-time metrics.
We are excited to announce the general availability of Tigera Secure 2.5. With this release, security teams can now create and enforce security controls for Kubernetes using their existing firewall manager.
Site reliability engineers (SREs) are the glue between “Dev” and “Ops,” ensuring that software engineering expertise is applied to operations challenges. SREs naturally focus on making systems more reliable, efficient, and scalable. If you’re an SRE yourself, you’re already deeply familiar with these ideas.
