Building automation and security into software supply chains requires packaging source code, dependencies and containers into logical, versioned units. But, in 2021, how engineers package their software is more vital than ever, requiring a serious refresh with a name befitting its focus on security within the cloud. We call it Continuous Packaging. Now on-demand, watch our talk from Collision Conference 2021 where we explored Continuous Packaging and how it can help secure your delivery pipelines, from development through to deployment.

Keynote with Nigel Kersten from Puppet.

Engineering teams are very used to talking about their tech stack as the technologies and tools used to build their application. Monitoring also has a stack, and full-stack monitoring is when you align each layer of your tech stack with a monitoring practice and weave a thread from every layer. True code-to-cloud visibility is only accomplished with full-stack monitoring, and necessary for long-term DevOps success.

Purple teams. Blue, green, red, back, canary deploys. Golden signals and red metrics. There are oddly a lot of color adjectives used in DevOps terminology, and Dave and Chris cover them all in this episode. They will talk about the range of deployment strategies for modern applications. The various types of metrics used to monitor them, and the different approaches to understanding how much visibility is good enough.

What is Delete Protection? This feature stops specific servers from being accidentally deleted from your account. Delete Protection helps developers to prevent applications from going down and gives more control over your server mix. This includes avoiding deletion of core servers when scaling down via the API, and safeguarding servers with intentionally unique configurations ("snowflakes").
