The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
Boston and Tel Aviv, October 24, 2018 — Logz.io, the leader in AI-powered log analysis, releases the first robust security application built on the open source ELK Stack, bringing powerful and scalable security monitoring and analysis directly into the DevOps workflow.
So much of our world has moved away from the slow and methodical, towards the agile and iterative. In transport, for example, everything is “on demand”, constantly changing and adaptable. The same is true for developers. With movements and philosophies such as CI/CD, everything is about moving quickly, yet smartly. Test automation is an integral part of this development philosophy.
A customer of ours reported a limit on number of packets in Amazon’s EC2 instances. According to the report, it didn’t happen on all instance types, and didn’t happen all the time. Also, it was unrelated entirely to bandwidth or MTU. According to the report, packet transmission rates were limited the same as CPU on t2/t3 instances — each instance earns credits which, when exhausted, cause throttling.
Late October already – where did the year go? Well at least part of it was spent making StackStorm better, and adding new packs and actions to the StackStorm Exchange. Read on for more details about StackStorm 2.9.1, and pack updates to ManageIQ, Jira, ServiceNow, InfluxDB, vSphere, and more.
Over the years, automation has become a key component in the management of the entire software release lifecycle. Automation helps teams get code from development into the hands of users faster and more reliably. While this principle is critical to your source code and continuous integration and delivery processes, it is equally essential to the underlying infrastructure you depend on.
Disaster recovery involves planning for the worst so organizations can quickly bounce back from a disruptive event. To prepare for hardware failure, power outages, human error, natural disasters — or whatever type of disaster life has in store — companies should put together a disaster recovery plan that identifies risks and outlines steps to mitigate them. For example, to minimize downtime, companies might regularly back up important data and set up redundant offsite infrastructure.
Enterprise IT and ISV developers are intrigued by technology benefits of containers and Kubernetes. However, when they go with a recommendation to their senior management to containerize applications, one question is asked – Why do we need to containerize? Didn’t we rehost our application to the cloud?
In the last few years, the primitive and conservative world is vanishing. In its place is emerging new world whose base is science and technology. The DevOps community has been flourished due to microservices and containerization-based architecture. According to 451 Research, container technology such as Docker and Kubernetes will eventually face the fastest growth in contrast with other cloud-enabling technologies, with an estimated CAGR of 40% through 2020.
