The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
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.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of companies (52%) say application development is a high priority initiative at their organization. But teams focused on building or improving apps face a number of bottlenecks — the three biggest of which are people, processes, and technology. Puppet and Pulse surveyed 200 IT executives to discover how modern technologies and processes are helping app development teams overcome common roadblocks and adapt quickly to the changing economy.
IT Infrastructure Monitoring has evolved beyond imagination over the last decade and continues to, courtesy of new technology. It’s not focused on IT elements anymore, as Infrastructure & Operations (I&O) is becoming more business-centric. That also gives rise to challenges for IT leaders who need to adapt at a quick pace. It’s not news that infrastructure monitoring is extremely important for the health of any enterprise.
As a concept, observability has been a relatively recent entrant into the world of information technology and cloud technology. The idea originated initially from controls system engineering. Observability refers to the concept of inferring the internal status of the system based on the outputs derived from the same. This is the conventional definition of observability.
Load balancing is an element of most popular web applications. The reason for this is simple: Load balancers maintain application scalability and sustainability. It’s nearly impossible to imagine a modern application handling continuous traffic or periodic traffic spikes while relying only on a single running server’s capacity. As a result, load balancers have become a critical part of software development.
