Azure Security Tips & Tricks

In our very first episode, we have got Paul Stringfellow, the podcast enthusiast with proven ideas to help you enhance the security of your Azure infrastructure. This episode features an in-depth conversation of “why security” should be the top priority for any organization designing an infrastructure/application. Further, the expert shows how different it is to secure a cloud solution than an on-premise one, emphasizing that traditional security models are no longer the right way to protect complex cloud integrations.

Infrastructure as Code: All you need to know

Using Code to create and manage deployments is more time-efficient and less tedious when compared to using CLI or even UI. In this blog, we explore the buzz around the usage of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and how Terraform can be used to implement IaC. In this blog post, we will explore the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of infrastructure as code so you can make an informed decision on how (and why) to incorporate it into your workflow.

5 Best Practices for Successful Microservices Implementation

Microservices have significantly altered the architecture of server-side processors. Rather than a single massive monolithic codebase containing all of your application’s business logic, microservices adhere to the distributed systems concept, in which a collection of application components collaborate to meet business goals. You may create a streamlined microservices ecosystem free of superfluous architectural complications by adhering to microservices industry standards.

Kubernetes Master Class GitOps and Fleet Multi Cluster CD with EKS, GKE and AKS

GitOps is a relatively new model with a fast adoption rate because of how it enhances the continuous delivery workflow in the Kubernetes context. GitOps requires you to describe and observe systems with declarative configurations that will form the basis of continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous deployment of your infrastructure. In this session, we will focus on making use of Fleet to manage deployments to multiple downstream clusters at scale.

Announcing support for Windows containers on AWS Fargate

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine that allows you to deploy containerized applications with services such as Amazon ECS without needing to manage the underlying virtual machines. Deploying with Fargate removes operational overhead and lowers costs by enabling your infrastructure to dynamically scale to meet demand. We are proud to partner with AWS for its launch of support for AWS Fargate on Windows containers.

What is embedded Linux? Part I

“Hello everybody out there using minix – I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. The above is an excerpt from Linus Torvalds’ original announcement of what came to be known worldwide as the Linux operating system (OS), dated August 1991. In hindsight, it is inconceivably modest now that we are in a much better position to appreciate the full revolutionary extent of his post.

Linux Mint vs Ubuntu: Who will win?

Linux is an open-sourced operating system for computers, smartphones, servers, mainframes, and embedded devices. The main advantage of Linux over other operating systems is that Linux is an open-source operating system, which means that you can view, edit, customize, enhance, and share the code with anyone. The release of Linux garnered a huge community of contributors that created a variety of features and distributions for users at no added cost.
