In today’s Tip of the Day, I’ll be going over what’s new in our latest release “Yosemite”, named after Yosemite Falls, located in California’s Yosemite National Park. We periodically roll out our GUI updates, not, as we’ll see in today’s video, just to apply a fresh coat of paint, but to re-engineer the entire frontend and backend – allowing our users to enjoy a totally integrated monitoring platform.

This month, we are excited to announce a new set of product updates and enhancements built for real time and designed to fit the way you work, where you are, and with the tools you love to use! We continue to focus on enhancing the core functionality and aesthetic of the PagerDuty mobile app to help users better manage their digital operations while on the go. We strive to go beyond harnessing digital data from any software-enabled system to transform any signal into real-time insight and action.

Previously, in Pandora FMS blog, we learnt a little about the great revolution that the Discovery feature brought to Pandora FMS. This tool reduces the complexity of certain existing features in Pandora FMS, and also introduces new tools that turn this software into a complete monitoring system. In today’s episode we are going to take a walk through the bowels of one of its tools, Discovery Net Scan, which is an exponential upgrade to recon tasks. Are you ready?

Dark is a programming language and platform that enables building serverless backends. There’s no infra, framework or deployment nightmares. It’s a new paradigm in software delivery. As a startup, the Dark team is constantly making decisions about where to invest in improvements to support customer needs. With Honeycomb, they can observe user behavior and make business decisions based on meaningful data.

We’re excited to share more details today about a long-running project that the Kibana team has been working on for the past couple of years: the Kibana development platform.

At Elastic, we believe in the power of open source and understand the importance of community. By putting the community first, we ensure that we create the best possible product for our users. With Elastic Security, two of our core objectives are to stop threats at scale and arm every analyst. Today, we’re opening up a new GitHub repository, elastic/detection-rules, to work alongside the security community, stopping threats at a greater scale.

AWS API Gateway is a great service but can be quite expensive, and even cost-prohibitive in some cases. An Application Load Balancer is a viable alternative since it integrates seamlessly with Lambda functions and is also highly scalable and reliable. For very small traffic, API Gateway will probably be the winner, but in high-throughput cases, ALB is capable of providing up to 90% savings.

To little surprise, online spending in the U.S. has grown 40% since the onset of quarantines in March. A similar trend has played out in other countries: in the UK, online retail spending reached a record high of 30% of total sales in April, according to the Office of National Statistics. If there was ever a solid reason to invest in technologies and people to improve customer experiences (both online and offline) it’s Covid-19.

A few years ago I wrote a blog article about the zero-trust network security model and why I thought it was something every organization should be thinking about implementing. While I still believe that to be true—probably more true than ever, in fact—the landscape since then has changed a great deal, particularly because of the increase in cloud-based services, and zero-trust is now an extremely achievable goal.

Today’s modern deployment pipeline is arguably one of the most important aspects of an organization’s infrastructure. The ability to take source code and turn it into a production application that’s scalable, reliable and highly available has become an enormous undertaking due to the pervasiveness of modern application architectures, multi- or hybrid-cloud deployment strategies, container orchestration and the leftward movement of security into the pipeline.
