How to make an ROI calculator and impress finance (an engineer's guide to ROI)

Get started with Gremlin's Chaos Engineering tools to safely, securely, and simply inject failure into your systems to find weaknesses before they cause customer-facing issues. Think back to the last time you wanted to purchase software for your organization. The software solves real problems and makes your team’s life easier. Then, finance delays or rejects your proposal. What’s going on?

Get Up and Running with NVIDIA GPUs in Rancher Kubernetes Clusters

With massive adoption of Kubernetes at enterprises worldwide, we are seeing Kubernetes going to new extremes. On the one hand, Kubernetes is being adopted for workloads at the edge and delivering value beyond the data center. On the other hand, Kubernetes is being used to drive Machine Learning (ML) and high-quality, high-speed data analysis capabilities.

Automate vulnerability analysis with the Datadog GitHub Action

To enhance and automate your vulnerability analysis, we’re excited to launch the Datadog Vulnerability Analysis GitHub Action. The action enables easy integration between your application, Datadog Continuous Profiler, and Snyk’s vulnerability database to provide actionable security heuristics. The action can be installed directly from the GitHub Marketplace, and does not require you to manage any additional scripts or infrastructure.

Introducing KubeQuest: The fastest way to learn the basics of Kubernetes on Civo

I joined Civo just over a year ago (straight out of a web development bootcamp) and had to quickly become familiar with concepts of Kubernetes and modern cloud-native software development as we prepared to launch our #KUBE100 beta. So, I, along with the rest of the team, thought about how we could help new users learn the basics of Kubernetes in a simple, practical, and fun way. This is how KubeQuest was born.

How to overcome app development roadblocks with modern processes

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of companies (52%) say application development is a high priority initiative at their organization.

Utilizing the latest Bolt release to send configuration snippets to Network Infrastructure.

Pipeline Analytics for Code-To-Cloud Visibility

The software delivery chain (SDLC) is the application of applications. If it is not running, you cannot ship code. In this episode of Dissecting DevOps, Dave and Chris cover how you Operate, Measure, and Audit your SDLC to ensure that your organization has Code-To-Cloud Visibility. Because the SDLC is an app for apps, treat it as you would any other application.
