Hunting for Talent on the DevOps Highway

If you happened to be in Tel Aviv, Israel last month, you probably saw the eye-catching JFrog billboards that took over the city. The JFrog logo with a solid bright green background challenged all of us to Imagine There’s No Version. The JFrog green billboards were everywhere! Decorating trains and buses and lighting up the city landmarks. The message was clear; it was an invitation to imagine a future where software updates flow like water.

Here's How to Calculate Elapsed Time in Java

Many things in programming sound like they should be easy, but are quite hard. Calculating elapsed time in Java is one of those. How hard could that be? As it turns out, it can be tricky. For starters, we have the fact that time itself is a tricky concept. For a quick example, remember that many places around the world observe Daylight Savings Time. Failing to take DST into account when you should, can and often does result in incorrect calculations.

Multi-Site Orchestration, Breaking the Next Frontier of Enterprise Kubernetes Adoption

While multi-site Kubernetes orchestration has numerous benefits, all of which have the potential to translate into a significant competitive edge, it still largely remains elusive — at least in the vendor space. The reason? Well, multi-site configuration is hard and, since during the first adoption wave, the focus was mainly on one cloud (most enterprises start with simple projects), there wasn’t a real need for it.

App Journey to be Cloud Native - Automated!

Yes, you read it right! The journey of existing apps on-prem to cloud-native has been automated with the use of CloudHedge.io. Allow me to share different steps taken for automation and which scenarios are a better fit. If you have 100s and 1000s of applications and are looking to assess them for cloud readiness, it can be overwhelming! The mix of applications, the infra, the network, and the geographic spread does make the effort of assessment overwhelming.

Make your monitors nearly real-time

Most of existing IPHost monitor types are passive, meaning they are being polled by IPHost – directly, or via remote network agent. There are two “active” monitors, that perform “Event” type alert, when receiving data from remote host: Syslog monitor and SNMP Generic Trap monitor. Although it’s not possible to transform all possible passive monitors to active, there are several approaches to make monitoring nearly real-time in certain situations.
