As Kubernetes continues to dominate the container orchestration landscape, ensuring the reliability and stability of applications running on this platform is paramount. Testing in a Kubernetes-native environment demands specialized tools that understand the intricacies of containerized deployments. Enter TestKube, a powerful testing framework designed specifically for Kubernetes.

In the ever-evolving world of software development and operations, DevOps has emerged as a game-changer. DevOps, short for Development and Operations, is a set of practices and principles that bridge the gap between these two traditionally siloed domains, fostering collaboration and accelerating the delivery of high-quality software. At the heart of DevOps lies automation, a powerful force that revolutionizes the way software is developed, tested, and deployed.

Most development teams know that testing the application layer of a system (a.k.a the codebase) is of vital importance. Testing the data layer (the database) is just as important. To perform database testing, you construct queries to assert and validate the database operations, structures, and attributes required by the application connecting to the database.

Are your CI/CD pipelines at risk? They might be if you use long-lived, static credentials and tokens. Long-lived, static credentials and tokens are one of the most common causes of data breaches in cloud environments. CI/CD tools need access to cloud services to publish artifacts, deploy software, and access resources on their cloud provider. So, they need credentials. It's tempting to hard-code them. But that's a bad idea.

To excel in embedded development in 2023, it is essential to have a solid understanding of build systems, continuous integration, and deployment strategies. This workshop by Percepio training partner Jacob Beningo aims to provide a comprehensive primer on these practices, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to tackle complex firmware projects with confidence.
