Upsun, a unified, secure, enterprise-grade platform for building, running and scaling web applications, is pleased to announce the expansion of its services to the Australian market.

A core challenge for threat detection engineering is reproducing common attacker behavior. Several open source and commercial projects exist for traditional endpoint and on-premise security, but there is a clear need for a cloud-native tool built with cloud providers and infrastructure in mind. To meet this growing demand, we’re happy to announce Stratus Red Team, an open source project created to emulate common attack techniques directly in your cloud environment.

The widespread adoption of digital transformation triggered by the global health crisis has created a boom. For some businesses, the transition was smooth, but for others, it was an aggressive shift. Out of all the challenges posed by the transition to digital environments, messy cloud cost management and rocketing cloud bills are the most taxing. According to Gartner, through 2024, 60% of infrastructure and operations leaders will bear cloud costs that hurt their on-premises budgets.

Central processing units (CPUs) can be compared to the human brain in that their unique architecture allows them to solve mathematical equations in different ways. x86 is the dominant architecture used in cloud computing at the time of this writing; however, it is worth noting that this architecture is not efficient for every scenario, and its proprietary nature is causing an industry shift toward ARM.

In the second half of 2021, eG Innovations partnered with the DevOps Institute to conduct an online survey of more than 900+ individuals from Sys Admin, DevOps, SREs, and other IT backgrounds. We asked questions about: Some of the results included: You can download the full survey results here: Cloud Technology Adoption Trends | eG Innovations If surveys and statistics on technology adoption are of interest, we have some other recent ones available, conducted in the last 12 months,.

Stability and resiliency of cloud services are top of mind for organizations today. Whether rising to the challenge of a surge in pandemic-driven demand, or fire fighting an unexpected outage, you still have to support your own customers.

Forrester Research interviewed digital leaders at enterprise organizations and found that, on average, they were maintaining 268 customer-facing websites and applications. As the number of websites you manage continues to grow, so do the number of challenges in managing it. Often the websites are designed by different teams, are built using different languages and frameworks, and run on different hosting solutions with different DevOps tools and workflows.

Technology teams are under more pressure than ever before. They’re balancing the demands of a changing workplace, growing customer expectations, and shifting from traditional to digital delivery. While managing more applications with less visibility, they face expectations to deliver fast, customer-grade experiences. These digital experiences are increasingly enabled by the cloud.

Today’s organizations face major challenges in effectively deploying and managing their online services, applications, and websites. In recent years, with interest in infrastructure technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker surging, container orchestration solutions have emerged as a core technology to help overcome challenges and move to a more modern approach.

Adopting a public cloud platform like AWS has many benefits, but the process of moving your existing automation capabilities between on-prem and the cloud can present challenges and make it difficult to take full advantage of cloud. In fact, in a recent survey conducted by Puppet, we learned that many Puppet users are significantly influencing their organizations’ cloud migration planning, indicating that Puppet can play a key role in cloud migration.
