Here at FireHydrant we are always looking for ways to improve and simplify incident management, today we’re happy to announce a set of changes to the incident and retrospective pages to further simplify the incident command center. To make it easier to stay up to date on the status of your incident, we have made the incident timeline permanently viewable on your Incident Command Center. You can adjust the width of your timeline to ensure you can see the most important information at all times.

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.

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.

The internet is a wonderful tool that has literally transformed the lives of nearly everyone on the planet.

The fleet management industry has been quick to embrace technology. They want to understand the current state of vehicles and drivers to improve operations and safety. Data privacy laws are especially important as fleet managers expand their reach into new territories. WayKonnect is using InfluxDB Enterprise to improve the fleet management industry.

June was the month where many of us stretched our legs, glad to be out of quarantine — and then immediately went back inside due to fears of a second wave. “One step forward, one step back,” offers an adequate summary of life in a pandemic. It’s also a sentiment that applies to the ongoing challenge in mitigating glitches and outages.

If you’re looking to deploy your services to Kubernetes, Helm works great. However, once you start deploying to multiple environments, developing code as a team, or automating in a CI/CD pipeline, you start to run into limitations with Helm. Codefresh Pipelines using Helmfile has the power and flexibility to address these issues and many others. It’s also one of the best ways to organize your Helm code and values.

Between late 2019 and early 2020, I interviewed more than 200 CTOs of growing US and EU startups on the topics of the Cloud and their working methodologies. I discovered that 86% of these SMB startups use the Cloud and that 48% started their business on Heroku and then migrated to a Cloud provider - especially AWS (Amazon Web Services).

Flowmon has recently joined Fortinet’s Open Fabric Ecosystem by integrating with FortiGate and FortiSIEM. This cooperation brings automated system for threat detection and response, blocking security risks in their infancy, and giving time to administrators to carry out forensics.
