Choosing the right network monitoring tool is important for keeping your network running smoothly. But, when it comes to choosing the right tool, the decision often boils down to two primary options: open-source network monitoring and paid solutions. Each comes with its unique set of advantages and challenges, making the choice dependent on your specific needs and circumstances.

Discover the two simple steps you can take to secure your open source dependency chain. Open-source software (OSS) has become the backbone of modern software development, empowering developers with a vast ecosystem of freely available libraries, frameworks and tools. However, as the old saying goes, ‘there's no such thing as a free lunch’, and the over reliance on OS components introduces significant security risks that can compromise the entire software supply chain.

Are you struggling to keep your website up and running smoothly? Do you need a reliable way to monitor its performance and ensure it stays up and running? If so, you’re in the right place. This article will explore the world of open-source website monitoring tools and how they can benefit your business.

For years, Jenkins has been a staple in the world of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD). Its open-source nature and extensive plugin ecosystem made it a go-to choice for developers and organizations worldwide. However,Jenkins no longer being free, prompting many to seek alternative solutions. Enter Razorops, a CI/CD platform that offers robust features and a commitment to being free forever.

Troubleshooting within Kubernetes environments can be a daunting task. If we could only have a magical artificial intelligence advisor that could gather all the data about what goes on the system, and tell me what’s wrong, and even how to solve it. Wouldn’t it be nice? K8sGPT is a young open source project that uses generative AI to give Kubernetes superpowers to everyone. It recently turned a year old, and is now part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Virtualization is a powerful technology that allows businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. Kubevirt is an open-source tool that makes it easy to deploy and manage virtual machines (VMs) on Kubernetes and Calico is an open-source networking and security tool that provides easy yet robust networking and security for Kubernetes workloads.

One of the big things we’ve learned since starting Kosli is that engineers often struggle to define an SDLC for compliance purposes. That doesn’t mean they don’t know how to deliver secure, quality software. They’ve just never had to actually define a process for how they do it. Perfectly capable engineers can spend years shipping great products and features without ever having to properly define and standardize their SDLC.

Kubernetes has since emerged as “THE” container orchestration platform for deploying and managing containerized workloads as a result of its robust capabilities. However, the complexity of its architecture and its dynamic nature present significant challenges in monitoring deployed workloads and the platform itself. Kubernetes monitoring is crucial for maintaining the health, performance, and reliability of containerized applications.

Effective log management is a fundamental aspect of maintaining and troubleshooting today's complex systems and applications. The sheer volume of data generated by various software and hardware components can make it challenging to identify and resolve issues in a timely manner. Open-source log management tools offer a cost-efficient and customizable approach for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing log data.

Data is at the heart of all machine learning (ML) initiatives – and bad actors know it. As AI continues to occupy the limelight of modern tech discourse, ML systems are becoming increasingly attractive targets for attack. With the Identity Theft Resource Center reporting a 72% spike in data breaches in 2023, it’s critical to take the proper precautions to ensure your ML projects don’t provide a back door to your data.

When we launched Signals to the world, we were excited to hear how our product resonated with many teams. But with that excitement came an understandable concern: how much time and effort will I have to put in to move from my existing provider to Signals? We hear you — that’s why we built the Signals Migrator tool. And we’re open sourcing it.

Not that long ago, in a galaxy that isn’t remotely far away, a disturbance in the open source world was felt with wide-ranging reverberations. Imagine waking up one morning to find out that your beloved open source tool, which lies at the heart of your system, is being relicensed. What does it mean? Can you still use it as before? Could the new license be infectious and require you to open source your own business logic? This doom’s day nightmare scenario isn’t hypothetical.
