Adding preventive revocation alerts to our certificate monitoring

As part of our SSL certificate monitoring, we check a lot of things. The usuals, like if it covers the right domain name or if it hasn't expired are, of course, already included. But SSL certificates can get quite complex. Sometimes, SSL certificates get revoked by the issuer. When that happens, browsers worldwide stop trusting them and will throw an invalid certificate warning.

Becoming Hybrid: Operating Your Cloud Environment

It’s a day for celebration! Our migration is complete, and our applications are now running in the cloud environment best suited to their needs. The rest of our application inventory, the ones not cut out for the cloud, remain on-premises where they belong. Actually…we’re not done yet.

DevOps teams rely on Artifactory as the bread and butter tool of universal binary repo managers, but observing its operations can be challenging. With multiple high availability nodes and unification with Xray as the JFrog DevOps Platform, that operations data is spread out across logs for each service in the JFrog Platform deployment. Operations teams need a view into valuable data insights that can only be gained through real time data mining and observation of the platform.

PagerDuty Integration Updates

In an effort to make it even easier to open incidents, FireHydrant will now let you open an incident from Slack in a single click. When an alert is ingested into FireHydrant a message will post to a channel of your choosing to open an incident. When the incident is opened it will pull in all the data from the PagerDuty alert and configure your incident with that data. Now you can go from an alert firing in PagerDuty to an open FireHydrant incident with all of your automated process in under 5 seconds.

Creating Organizations and Teams and Managing Permissions In Cloudsmith

One reason for building a ‘single source of truth’ for software assets is that it gives the organization control over who can use what when. The ‘wild West’ of public repositories gives no control at all and can lead to a situation in which packages and dependencies of dubious provenance are integrated into builds without a second thought. Within the Cloudsmith world, we want to have the maximum security and control possible.
