Software Agents are very small programs that we install in each operating system so that it returns metrics to our Pandora FMS Data Server… What does this have to do with Ansible? Let’s see.

Everyone wants their developers to be more productive. Increased productivity means more features and functionality, which leads to more satisfied customers and better business outcomes. That is why, today at SpringOne, we are happy to announce the general availability of Microsoft Azure Spring Cloud—a fully managed service for Spring Boot apps.

Spring Cloud Data Flow (SCDF) for Kubernetes 1.1 is now generally available, building on the open source SCDF version 2.6 released in August. The Kubernetes-based commercial offering leverages Tanzu Observability by Wavefront for dashboarding and observability, and enables developers to take their data pipelines to the next level with the introduction of Multi I/O for event-streaming applications.

Spring Cloud Gateway for VMware Tanzu was released January 2020 as a service on Tanzu Application Service (TAS) and was quickly deployed into production by many of our customers. Our focus is to offer the most developer-friendly API gateway experience while still providing the operational configuration, security and governance needed for successful enterprise management.

The Spring community virtually converged for the first day of SpringOne. Over 40,000 of our closest friends registered for the event! The VMware team and a rich community of speakers put on quite the show, discussing the state of enterprise development and best practices for getting apps to production. Here’s a look at some of our favorite moments from Day 1.

As you implement SRE practices and culture at your organization, you’ll realize everyone has a part to play. From engineers setting SLOs, to management upholding the virtue of blamelessness, to marketing teams conducting retrospectives on email campaigns, there’s no part of an organization that doesn’t benefit from the SRE mentality.

Datadog is an awesome tool for aggregating and visualizing the metrics that matter to you. Recently, Datadog launched a new Incident Management feature, which allows you to coordinate the activities around a problem that affected your service. In this example, I’ll walk through using Relay to roll back a Kubernetes deployment that caused a service impact, and show how the Datadog Incident timeline can keep everyone working on the incident in sync.

Kubernetes gives organizations the ability to run Kubernetes clusters at scale across different cloud infrastructures and distributions. Unfortunately, this is where many of the challenges begin. As the number of clusters and workloads grow, they are being managed independently with very little consistency.
