How To Deploy WordPress as a Headless CMS on Cycle

With the release of the WordPress REST API (version 4.7 circa 2016), WordPress developers started deploying the application as a headless CMS. As the WordPress community started to embrace this architecture, more and more developers are starting to use it in production. Now thanks to the growing number of plugins, WordPress as a headless CMS is starting to become the go-to deployment strategy.

Monitoring Amazon RDS with Blue Matador

Amazon RDS allows you to easily run databases in AWS without actually having to manage database servers. Since your databases are critical to the health of your application, properly monitoring RDS is a top priority for most teams. In this blog post, we will go over how Blue Matador monitors RDS automatically and without configuration.

Kubernetes Master Class Windows Container Networking in Rancher 2 3

In this session of the Kubernetes Master Class Series, we will cover the networking internals of Windows Server worker nodes and Windows Server Containers. The focus will be on the supported networking configurations with Flannel and Rancher 2.3. We will also cover differences between Linux and Windows networking and how to get started with troubleshooting issues that may arise.

Longhorn Accepted into CNCF

Today I am very excited to announce that Rancher Labs’ Project Longhorn has been accepted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation as a sandbox project. Many Kubernetes users still find it challenging to run stateful workloads and manage persistent storage. Longhorn aims to help you manage stateful workloads in Kubernetes by providing a solution for persistent storage that you can easily deploy, use, and manage.

Sysdig 2019 Container Usage Report: New Kubernetes and security insights

We’re excited today to release the Sysdig 2019 Container Usage Report. Continued momentum for Kubernetes and greater adoption of cloud-native architectures are changing not just usage patterns, but processes and organizational structures as well. One of the surprising insights this year is the 2X increase in the number of containers that live for less than five minutes. As services grow more dynamic, cloud teams are recognizing the need to integrate security into their DevOps processes.

Image scanning for Azure Pipelines

In this blog post, you’ll learn how to setup image scanning for Azure Pipelines using Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform. Azure DevOps gives teams tools like version control, reporting, project management, automated builds, lab management, testing, and release management. Azure Pipelines automates the execution of CI/CD tasks, like building the container images when a commit is pushed to your git repository or performing vulnerability scanning on the container image.

How to monitor Kubernetes + Docker with Datadog

Since Kubernetes was open sourced by Google in 2014, it has steadily grown in popularity to become nearly synonymous with Docker orchestration. Kubernetes is being widely adopted by forward-thinking organizations such as Box and GitHub for a number of reasons: its active community, rapid development, and of course its ability to schedule, automate, and manage distributed applications on dynamic container infrastructure.

Integration Testing with Service Containers Webinar

Docker Compose is great for local development, but an effective CI/CD pipeline will also need to execute integration tests after a commit is pushed. The easiest way to bring up extra services for integration testing (such as a database or a message queue) is by launching them alongside the main pipeline! In this webinar, you will see how easy is to launch multiple Docker containers in a single pipeline step, complete with health checks and service dependencies.
