The 2019.8.2 release of Puppet Enterprise has added a significant improvement to code deployment by enabling Puppet modules to be downloaded in parallel instead of serially. This functionality was added to the upstream r10k project almost a year ago and has now been added to Puppet Enterprise Code Manager.
Puppet Plans were added in the 2019.2 release of Puppet Enterprise and Puppet Enterprise 2019.8.2 extends that functionality by adding support for scheduling Puppet Plans. This enables plans to be run at some point in the future or on a recurring schedule. Plans can be scheduled using the Puppet Enterprise console, Puppet Enterprise command line, or the Puppet Enterprise REST API. In this blog post we’ll walk through how to schedule a Puppet Plan in the Puppet Enterprise console.

The Docker infrastructure abstracts a lot of aspects of the creation of images and running them as containers, which we usually do not know about nor interact with. One of those aspects is the handling of the filesystem inside the container. This post is a case study on how we discovered that writing large amounts of data inside a container has side effects with memory caching. Initially, we thought that we had an issue with our source code, but this was never the case.
One of our most commonly requested integrations, Datadog cloud monitoring, was announced last week on the Datadog blog! Sleuth organizes your deployments into projects, which collect and organize key data from your code sources and their associated staging environments. This data consists of metrics and errors.
When we were building out our first UI at Speedscale we wanted to get something up and running quickly. Fortunately there are a ton of options of web frameworks that can be used to throw together a quick “hello world” kind of application. However, a SaaS application needs a lot more than just displaying data. It needs to handle user authentication, loading data from a backend API, displaying data in a variety of formats, etc.
Mattermost now gives users flexibility to organize channels and direct messages into custom, collapsible sidebar categories.

Our goal is to support both MySQL and PostgreSQL as a backend wherever we need a database. Our latest addition in this area was PostgreSQL support for reporting, which will be released in the next few weeks. We don’t have PostgreSQL support for Icinga Certificate Monitoring yet. But it has already been worked on and the pull request for it is waiting to be tried. We would be happy to receive feedback in this regard so that we can fully merge PostgreSQL support as soon as possible.
