Ciara discusses how to analyze SBOMs for vulnerabilities using Open Source tools, and how Cloudsmith can take actions like quarantining your images if it contains vulnerabilities above a certain level.

What if there was a way to deploy a new feature into production — and not actually turn it on until you’re ready? There is! These tools are called feature flags (or feature toggles or flippers, depending on whom you ask). Feature flags are a powerful way to fine-tune your control over which features are enabled within a software deployment. Of course, feature flags aren’t the right solution in all cases.

There are multiple ways to create a task on a pull request. They can be added from the sidebar, top-level pull request comments, file-level comment or inline comments. Once created, they all appear in the sidebar. On any repository, merge checks can be configured for any branch to only allow merging if all pull request tasks are resolved. This is a very useful functionality if some tasks are critical to be resolved before changes are merged.

By now, almost everyone is familiar with cloud computing in one form or another. Throughout the 2010s, the concept of cloud computing evolved within the software industry, then worked its way into everyday life as a universal household term.

Since then, the edge concept has primarily been the domain of network engineers.
