Managing Sensu Go 6 using Ansible

Earlier this year, we shared the certified Ansible Collection for Sensu Go, which makes it easy to automate your monitoring and achieve real-time visibility into auto-scaling infrastructure. Now that Sensu Go 6 has been released, we’ll share the latest updates on the Collection, including the management aspects of Sensu Go 6, with a focus on the structure of Ansible playbooks in the Sensu Go 6 world.

Reduce Security Cost by Shifting Left

With the emergence of “Shift Left” as common practice for development, we’re seeing many opportunities to reduce costs around our development practices, but what about security? Prisma Cloud is supporting “Shift Left” by making their scanning capabilities available to Developers and CI Tooling to run scans against microservice projects. As a bonus, the Prisma Cloud product suite scanning capabilities fit perfectly within Codefresh.

Top Go Modules: Writing Unit Tests with Testify

All developers have seen them, even in well-structured Golang programs: comments suggesting you keep away from lines of code since they seem to be working in a magic way. These warnings make us timid, fearing we might break something. But applications need to change, to improve and innovate. That’s why unit tests are a vital part of software development. They help developers know whether the small parts of their software perform their intended function correctly.

Microsoft Azure & JFrog: Accelerating Deployment With Virtual Kubelet And Artifactory

Virtual Kubelet simplifies the management of your Kubernetes cluster by rapidly spinning up pods behind an abstraction that takes care of scaling up and down your cluster. JFrog Artifactory is a universal binary repository that serves as a highly scalable container registry with advanced security scanning of container images. By combining Virtual Kubelet on Azure Container Instances (ACI) for fast orchestration and Artifactory to reliably serve container images, you get a highly scalable and secure platform for application deployment.

Add file attachments to pull requests in Bitbucket Cloud

During code review, static image files might not be adequate when a developer wants to demo their changes. Starting now, teams can attach any type of file to a pull request. No need to worry about the file size either. For example, “before and after” screen recordings can be uploaded and viewed directly in a pull request. With this change, Bitbucket Cloud has become more integrated with the Atlassian ecosystem. Does your team also collaborate on Jira or Confluence?

Monitor your Package Activity and Save on Storage!

With the introduction of the Package Activity API and accompanying CLI command, you can now quickly and easily check your entire repository for packages' activity status or even take a detailed approach and view packages individually (per day/per package). You can save on your storage costs by eliminating inactive packages and retaining only the packages you or your users derive value from storing and distributing via Cloudsmith.

Progressive Delivery- Using feature flags & observability to ship confidently

Level up your deployments for better resiliency and reliability. After 15 years, the basic revelations of the CI/CD revolution are no longer news—small-batch changes with more frequent releases tend to be more stable and recover faster than lengthy big-bang release cycles. Automated is better than manual, instrumentation is key, and speed is critical. But the promise doesn't stop there.

DevOps Automation Best Practices for Automotive Software Delivery

Some cars today boast more than 300M lines of code! Software has become a key differentiator and influencer on consumers’ buying decisions - with many choosing vehicles as much for their infotainment system and “all that tech” as for the horsepower. DevOps for software embedded in vehicles is not trivial. The automotive industry faces unique challenges when it comes to delivering software -- due to complex testing matrix and deployment processes, and its strict safety, regulation and compliance rules.
