Field Guide: Mitigating Risk While Transitioning Databases

Welcome to our series of blog posts about things Sentry does that perhaps we shouldn’t do. Don’t get us wrong — we don’t regret our decisions. We’re sharing our notes in case you also choose the path less traveled. In this post, we’re giving context to everything that needed to happen before we introduced Snuba, our new storage and query service for event data.

Kubernetes Master Class Preventive Security for Kubernetes Enterprise Deployments

The latest Kubernetes version provides many security-related enhancements and controls, but it is far from being secure by default. Kubernetes is a complex orchestration platform with many different implementations, across multi-cloud/hybrid environments. Configuring it to comply with security best practices and specific security requires time and expertise that most organizations don’t possess.

Kubernetes Master Class: Single Node, Standalone Servers, and Scalable, Secure Storage

Not all of us have unlimited budgets for infinite nodes, and even if you do, it's important to spend wisely. If you're running Rancher in a non-production environment and want to start with a single node now and upgrade to an HA configuration later, you can do this with RKE. Once a cluster is up and running, make the best use of your available storage by deploying block-level replication with OpenEBS within your Kubernetes clusters.

Icinga 2.11 Release Candidate

For months we have been working on one of the biggest and most important releases since the creation of Icinga 2. Icinga 2 version 2.11 includes improvements for performance, stability and scalability. After many changes of lines of code, additions and deletions we believe we’re finally there. But we want to have you on board, so we decided to go with a Release Candidate first. Today we’re happy to announce the general availability of this release!

Keep Your Business Stakeholders Updated While You Save the Day

Imagine this: An airline encounters a major IT incident in a data center that affects their ticketing system. Behind the scenes, technical responders are scrambling to diagnose and fix the issue. However, because today’s systems are so complex, this issue is taking longer than expected to resolve, and hours have passed since the system went down. Meanwhile, passengers are stranded and taking their anger out on customer service agents and sharing their frustrations on social media.

Using Elasticsearch Rollover to manage indices

In this article you will learn how to configure and use the Elasticsearch rollover feature in Jaeger. Note that this feature has been introduced in Jaeger 1.10.0. Jaeger uses index-per-day pattern to store its data to Elasticsearch. It creates a new index for each day based on span’s timestamp. These indices have to be periodically removed by jaeger-es-index-cleaner cron job. Typically users keep data from one week up to one month which results in 7 or 30 indices only for spans.
