DevOps 101: How to kick-start your DevOps initiative

This is the third part of my DevOps 101 series, so before we get going, let’s do a quick recap of what we’ve covered previously In DevOps 101: What, who, why, and how, I talked about how the definition from Microsoft’s Donovan Brown encapsulates DevOps succinctly as: The union of people, process, and products, to enable the continuous delivery of value to the end users.

Yocto or Ubuntu Core for your embedded Linux project?

Embedded Linux development doesn't have to be a journey of anxiety. Ubuntu Core provides developers what a DIY Linux distro cannot give them: a faster time to market, and tested and trusted security and update strategies. Key learning from this video: Yocto Project and all related marks and logos are trademarks of The Linux Foundation.

Getting Started with Virtual Kubernetes Clusters and Shipa Cloud

Like your virtual machine running another virtual machine , today thanks to Loft Labs, you are now able to run multiple virtual Kubernetes clusters in a Kubernetes cluster. The vcluster project is focused on creating fully functional virtual Kubernetes clusters inside a base cluster allowing for a different approach to multitenancy than spinning up a separate Kubernetes cluster. A core use case of Shipa is the ability to have abstractions that make deploying to multiple clusters easy for developers.

Enable Sticky Sessions in HAProxy

HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the protocol that defines the language browsers use to communicate with web servers, is stateless, meaning that after you make a web request and a server sends back a response, no memory of that interaction remains. To make anything more sophisticated than a static web page work, websites need other ways to remember previous interactions with users.

Kria KR260 - a scalable robotics platform powered with Ubuntu

Today, robotics developers have something to look forward to with the release of AMD Kria™ KR260 Robotics Starter Kit. Robotics is a challenging endeavour. By reducing the barriers to entry on embedding design, AMD aims to accelerate robotics innovations in every industry. The latest addition to the Kria portfolio of adaptive system-on-modules (SOMs) showcases this work.

Announcing support for Windows runners in Bitbucket Pipelines

We are happy to announce that Bitbucket Pipelines now supports self-hosted runners on Windows. You can create a self-hosted runner and run it on your Windows infrastructure to run builds with the.Net framework. Since you're using your own runner, you won’t be charged for any Bitbucket Pipelines build minutes. This self-hosted runner will be non-containerized, allowing your CI/CD step to access the host’s hardware, such as the graphics card or any connected external devices.

Announcing our new Webex Meetings integration

Previously, FireHydrant supported video collaboration tool integrations for Zoom and Google Meet. In response to customer asks, today we are pleased to introduce our new Cisco Webex Meetings integration for all paid plans. With the new integration, teams can automate Webex bridge creation as part of incident response.

Ingest OpenTelemetry traces and metrics with the Datadog Agent

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) initiative that provides open, vendor-neutral standards and tools for instrumenting services and applications. Many organizations use OpenTelemetry’s collection of APIs, SDKs, and tools to collect and export observability data from their environment to their preferred backend. As part of our ongoing commitment to OpenTelemetry, we are proud to have contributed our distributed tracing libraries to the CNCF community.

Visualize relationships between your Kubernetes resources with Datadog Live Containers

A Kubernetes environment includes a wide range of resources—such as clusters, nodes, and pods—that work together to run dynamic applications at scale. In order to monitor a Kubernetes application effectively, you need a multi-dimensional view into your clusters’ health that encompasses the complex dependency relationships among these resources.
