The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
We read with interest a recent article from CloudBees published in The New Stack: How Culture Will Make or Break Cloud Native DevOps and have seen some highly differing views on where the adoption of DevOps is. The Cloudbees article starts by saying that “Software delivery cycles are becoming faster thanks to DevOps-backed continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) as production pipelines are increasingly ported to scale with microservices on cloud-native environments.”
AWS Lambda can use stream based services as invocation sources, essentially making your Lambda function a consumer of those streams. Stream sources include Kinesis Streams and DynamoDB streams. When you allow streams to invoke your Lambda function, Lambda will emit a CloudWatch metric called IteratorAge. In this post, we discuss what this metric is and how to fix it if it’s too high.
We migrated all of our services to Kubernetes about six months ago. At first glance, the task seemed quite simple: deploy a cluster, write application specifications, and that’s it. But, since we’re obsessed with stability, we nevertheless had to learn how k8s works under pressure, so we tested multiple failure scenarios. Most of the questions that arose were network related. One particular point of concern was how Kubernetes Services function.
Darren Shepherd, Rancher co-founder and Chief Architect, describes the Kubernetes critical CVE issue he discovered, how it came to a resolution, and what it says about the Kubernetes open-source community.
It’s nearly the end of 2018 and we still discuss CI/CD and agile as separate concepts. The truth is, the line between them is blurring. Doing either or both well is very difficult. In fact, many organizations struggle to effectively execute an agile workflow, or reach CD because they are so difficult to do well. This article focuses on why it is so important to keep striving toward this gold standard duo because CI/CD and agile result in quality and predictability.
AWS re:Invent, the biggest cloud-computing event of the year, ended on Friday and left behind a slew of exciting new features and products for building serverless applications. Let’s summarize what was announced and how those updates can be significant for you.
In the following tutorial you can learn how to implement container security as code. You probably have a CI/CD pipeline to automatically rebuild your container images. What if you could define your container security as code, push it into a Git repository to version control changes and then enforce your policy in your container orchestration tool like Docker or Kubernetes using Sysdig Secure?
