January 2020 Online Meetup: Securing Your Production Grade Kubernetes Clusters Using Rancher

As DevOps teams deploy Kubernetes in production using Rancher, enterprises must focus on the runtime security and compliance requirements of their cloud-native platforms. Starting with Rancher 2.2, we published self-assessment and hardening guides to outline provisioning a cluster to comply with the CIS Kubernetes benchmark. Identifying gaps and pain points in the process, Rancher engineering added additional features to both Rancher and RKE to simplify the process.

Looking back at 2019 and why it was a great year for Codefresh

Like in 2018, now that 2019 is gone, it is time to look back and see all the major Codefresh features that were added over the past year.

What are the alternatives to hiring a DevOps?

Congratulations!! After 3 months of hard work, your developer has done an incredible job and your brand new web application is ready to be put online. But wait a minute… Who is going to put it online? Try to ask your developer to do it - there is a good chance that he can’t. Why?

Don't Let DevOps be Your Trojan Horse

Don’t let the title mislead you, we love DevOps here at Cycle. Without proper DevOps processes, building and scaling cloud-based applications can become a nightmare for maintainability. A proper DevOps plan brings together an organization’s developers, QA support, and operations teams to pursue the goal of delivering software more predictably. An admirable goal for any team and something that can be immensely helpful for even small teams to become more efficient.
