How we designed Ubuntu Pro for Confidential Computing on Azure
Not all data is destined to be public. Moving workloads that handle secret or private data from an on-premise setup to a public cloud introduces a new attack surface with different risks. As the public cloud environment shares its hardware infrastructure, a flaw in the clouds’ isolation mechanisms can be detrimental to the protection of sensitive data. The major public cloud environments tackle this by building their security following a defense-in-depth approach.
The 2022 State of Observability Report
Interest in observability is at an all-time high. When we attended KubeCon in Los Angeles in October, observability and security were everywhere—in conversations with attendees and other vendors, during sessions, and in messaging at booths—indicating that there’s still an unmet need. In fact, Gartner declared that observability is at the ‘peak of inflated expectations' in a recent Hype Cycle report.

Tigera: Do You Really Need a Service Mesh?
The challenges involved in deploying and managing microservices have led to the creation of the service mesh, a tool for adding observability, security, and traffic management capabilities at the application layer (L7). While a service mesh is intended to help Developers and SREs with a number of use cases related to service-to-service communication within the cluster, the service mesh also adds operational complexity and introduces an additional control plane for the team to manage. Now there's a better way to achieve granular observability and security...not just at the application layer, but across the full L3 - L7 stack...and address the top use cases that drive service mesh consideration.
JavaScript security: Vulnerabilities and best practices
If you run an interactive website or application, JavaScript security is a top priority. There’s a huge array of things that can go wrong, from programmatic errors and insecure user inputs to malicious attacks. While JavaScript error monitoring can help you catch many of these issues, understanding common JavaScript security risks and following best practices is just as important.

4 Common Misconceptions About Digital Transformation
Our technology-empowered world continues to evolve at rapid pace, and so do the expectations of customers. The brands that will succeed tomorrow and in the future will be those that keep up with that change. While the vast majority of companies have transformation initiatives, in my digital transformation consulting work, I have noticed four common misconceptions about digital transformation that have the potential to derail even the most well funded efforts.
