Since it was released in 2015, the Serverless Framework has become the community-favorite way to manage and deploy serverless applications in the cloud. Similar to Terraform and CloudFormation, it lets you express infrastructure as code, making it easy to share and version-control your entire serverless environment.

The Rancher community is 30,000+ strong and growing fast! In order to continue growing and nurturing our vibrant open source community, we’ve created the Trusted Ranch Hand Program. Trusted Ranch Hands are a select group of knowledgeable ranchers ready, willing, and able to help other Ranchers as we all adopt DevOps practices and principles using Rancher, Kubernetes, and related technologies that help us all Run Kubernetes Everywhere!

Kubernetes is gaining popularity every day. Using an Ingress controller is the preferred method of allowing external access to the services in a cluster. This makes ingress logs incredibly important for tracking the performance of your services, issues, bugs, and even the security of your cluster.

An optimized DevOps process flow is vital for DevOps teams. It allows for seamless development and operations integration through the implementation of the CICD pipeline for development, deployment, and feedback.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard of Kubernetes, the open source container orchestration governed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Kubernetes helps you focus on your applications by providing powerful abstractions and help solves many of the challenges of managing, deploying and scaling your containerized applications.

Sumo Logic was one of the first in the industry to release a comprehensive set of applications to monitor and secure the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) stack. We are now expanding our support for Anthos. Anthos is Google Cloud’s open source based platform that lets enterprises run apps anywhere on-prem or in the cloud -- simply, flexibly, securely, and consistently.

Returning from VMworld 2019 a couple weeks ago, one thing was clear: we’re seeing a convergence of IT Operations and DevOps in the marketplace, and with that, an infrastructure transformation which will rely heavily on process and workload automation. But, as we move more and more towards the automated datacenter (private and/or public), it’s important to keep in mind two critical components to make automation successful: data and governance.

Oracle’s Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is a service that helps you deploy, manage, and scale Kubernetes clusters in the cloud. With OKE, organizations can build dynamic containerized applications by incorporating Kubernetes with services running on their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We’ve partnered with Oracle so that you can use the Datadog Agent to get comprehensive visibility into your Kubernetes clusters on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Last month, the Virtual Instruments team made our way from the sunny South Bay to foggy San Francisco for VMworld. With more than 21,000 attendees, 5,000 companies and 230 exhibitors from 86 companies, it’s easy to see why VMworld is considered one of the biggest IT events of the year.
