At Microsoft’s 2022 Build Conference, which took place on May 24 through May 26, the tech juggernaut revealed a number of new technologies and iterations that are poised to impact the workplace and the world at large. One announcement in particular has already sparked major conversation among the developer community: the new Microsoft Dev Box.

Condition-based maintenance is helpful to organizations as it helps in decreasing downtime. It is not easy to implement but once implemented successfully then this maintenance will provide several benefits. What are the challenges that occur while implementing condition-based maintenance and how can you overcome those challenges? That we will discuss in this blog, but first let us know what condition-based maintenance software is!

Regardless of your organization’s size, industry, or security measures, you will inevitably face IT incidents. But what do you do if an incident affects a critical system and your on-call responders can’t resolve it? Does your team have a set of clearly outlined next steps they should take to handle the issue? Answering these questions can be complicated, even more so for large organizations that rely on cloud-based services to fuel their IT environment.

It has been seven years since Rent the Runway posted their engineering ladder, kicking off a veritable trend of engineering teams open sourcing their ladders. Interestingly, nearly all of them seem to have coalesced around “area of scope” as a useful proxy for level. At first glance, “area of scope” does seem to make sense. Senior engineers should be able to work across larger areas of the organization. In addition, your area of influence should expand as you gain experience.

As infrastructure engineers, there’s so much you can learn from studying past incidents. Luckily, Blameless Reliability Insights helps you find patterns that better equip you to deal with incidents to come. If you’ve never used it before and you’re curious what it looks like, you can watch a video demo here! These statistical insights give you the power to learn everything you can when something goes wrong. ‍

DevOps is a composition of enhanced engineering practices that reduce lead time and increase the frequency of delivery. The primary goal of DevOps is to ensure operations team members are engaged and collaborating with development from the very beginning of a project or product development. Within many enterprises, teams are being compelled to reassess the security of their DevOps implementations. Recent news on vulnerabilities like Sun Burst and Log4j underscore why this is so critical.

Network loops are bad news. Here’s a recap from network engineer Ethan Banks on why.

Many cybersecurity teams are drinking from multiple firehoses without solutions in place to deal with the onslaught of data. And with 70 percent of companies experiencing over one hundred attacks each day, it’s not slowing down. Teams are overwhelmed with data from multiple sources and formats with continuous requests to pull in more and more.

VMware Tanzu Mission Control is designed for operations teams to address complexity and increase control of their Kubernetes clusters wherever they live. In order to support customers with their multi-cloud business imperatives, VMware made an early commitment to provide data protection capability in Tanzu Mission Control, designed to help enterprises more confidently and safely run critical workloads on Kubernetes.

Optimizing Kubernetes costs isn’t an easy task. Kubernetes is as deep a topic as cloud (and even more complex), containing subtopics like: That’s a lot for a busy DevOps team to understand and manage, and doesn’t even consider that line-of-business stakeholders and finance team members should have some understanding of each cost driver’s function and importance to contribute to a successful FinOps Strategy.
