The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
Recently we updated our infrastructure. We wanted to discuss the updates we have done to show why we think it is important to keep our infrastructure up to date. Updating infrastructure is critical because it provides more security and improved speeds.
More than 26,000 software vulnerabilities were discovered in 2022 – a new record – and critical vulnerabilities were up 59% over 2021, the previous record-high year. In other words, despite years of DevSecOps, software doesn’t seem to be getting more secure. Release management can help. A crucial goal of release management is vulnerability-free software.
Here’s a crazy question: why do we still require a human to manually declare an incident for the things that we know are incidents? If we have enough confidence to build SLOs and high-severity alert routes for these specific scenarios, why are we still asking a human to confirm it’s an incident and get the assembly process in motion? Isn’t that just another button to push when we could be problem solving instead?
Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies and solutions have been widely adopted by consumers, businesses and service providers since the mid-2000s, but the rising popularity of remote work means businesses of all sizes are even more rapidly turning to VoIP for voice calls.
End-to-end visibility into pipelines is crucial for ensuring the health and performance of your CI system, especially at scale. Within extensive CI systems—which operate under the strain of numerous developers simultaneously pushing commits—even the slightest performance regression or uptick in failure rates can compound rapidly and have tremendous repercussions, causing major cost overruns and impeding release velocity across organizations.
CircleCI supports GitLab as a version control system (VCS). In this tutorial you will learn how to set up your first CircleCI CI/CD pipeline for a project hosted on GitLab. As GitLab can be used either as a SaaS tool, as well as self-managed on-premise installation, I will cover the steps to connect it with CircleCI for both.
In 2023, monitoring is essential to modern DevOps teams' work. DevOps teams need reliable and flexible tools to effectively monitor and manage complex systems that can provide real-time insights into system performance, availability, and security. Open-source monitoring tools have become increasingly popular due to their cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and community support.
