All deployments are not created equal, but you'd never know it from your Slack channel notifications. In reality, some deployments you really care about, as they contain things like API changes or database migrations, and you want that information to surface. We created tags in Sleuth for this very reason. Out of the box, Sleuth matches files in your deployment with known patterns, and if any are found, tags your deployments automatically.
Once upon a time the telephone system was a trusted method of connecting people. While we now spend more time on our phones than ever, our relationship to phone calls has changed -- we’re hesitant to answer calls from unknown phone numbers, often because we think the call is a con. But what if the caller ID is spoofed/modified and made to look like a telephone number that you may trust or a number with a local area code and familiar prefix?
Hybrid cloud infrastructures run critical business resources and are subject to some of the strictest network security controls. Irrespective of the industry and resource types, these controls broadly fall into three categories. Workloads (pods) running on Kubernetes are ephemeral in nature, and IP-based controls are no longer effective. The challenge is to enforce the organizational security controls on the workloads and Kubernetes nodes themselves.
Tuesday morning you roll out of bed, turn off your alarm, tiptoe down the stairs, retrieve your paper, flip the hallway lights on, feed the dog, and start making coffee—in five minutes. Performing this series of early-morning tasks is called chunking. Certain neurons in the brain “bookend” the habit for you, signaling the routine has started (the alarm) and ended (coffee).

Some time ago, an ex-colleague of mine at DAZN received an alert through PagerDuty. There was a spike in error rate for one of the Lambda functions his team looks after. He jumped onto the AWS console right away and confirmed that there was indeed a problem. The next logical step was to check the logs to see what the problem was. But he found nothing. And so began an hour-long ghost hunt to find clues as to what was failing and why there were no error messages.
