The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
Open source and community have always been in the DNA of Netdata, with the Agent starting as a very popular open-source project. Since then, a lot has changed, with Netdata maturing into a company, and the Netdata Agent finding its place as an open-source project in a wider offering that redesigns the monitoring experience from the ground up.
Every year, I look forward to the release of the annual State of DevOps report (that’s the kind of exciting life I lead!). The evolution and adoption of DevOps in the past decade has been incredible — and this report always helps show what’s the next big thing that high-performing teams are adopting. The 2020 State of DevOps report was just released a couple weeks ago and as usual, it was filled with all kinds of insights.
OpenStack, the cloud computing platform, has proved to be a beacon of success for open source. It rounds off 10 years in existence this year, a period which has seen it reach nearly 200 countries, and we want to look ahead to what the future holds for the technology.
The serverless ecosystem has changed dramatically since it first began gaining popularity with developers who want a faster, easier way to deploy their applications. Today, it has matured into a compelling strategy for building modern, enterprise-scale products. But, as more and more organizations adopt rapidly changing technologies, developers are often left with gaps in visibility between key applications.
Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, making it a key piece in the containerization strategy of many users. Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) is a Kubernetes distribution from AWS that lets you run on-premise clusters using the same tested Kubernetes versions, security features, and tooling that power Amazon EKS. This means that EKS-D is compatible with the Kubernetes tools and processes you’re already using, making it easy to operate in-house Kubernetes clusters.
In July, I announced SUSE's intent to acquire Rancher Labs, and now that the acquisition is final, today we embark on a new journey with SUSE. I couldn't be more excited about our future and what this means for our customers around the world. Just as Rancher made computing everywhere a possibility for our customers, with SUSE, we will empower our customers to innovate everywhere.
Site Reliability Engineering, or SRE for short, has become quite the buzzword. I wasn’t there in 2004, when Ben Treynor started it at Google, but I claim bragging rights based on the fact that the very same Ben Treynor interviewed me for an SRE role in 2005. (I also got the job after the interview, in case that wasn’t obvious…) When SREcon EMEA 2019 came along, I thought it was just about time to publicly speculate about the future of our profession.
