The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
In software development, it’s important to have a team dedicated to ensuring all systems and applications maintain maximum performance and uptime. Establishing processes that limit system and application slowdowns and outages while expediting the product release process is often done through a developer operations team, also known as dev ops or DevOps.
In my seven months at Puppet, I continue to be amazed at the opportunity we have to drive value in some of the biggest companies and institutions in the world. Automation is no longer a nice to have -- it’s a must. As more companies further their cloud strategies to include cloud-native infrastructures, the complexity increases, making automation indispensable.
Over the past year, we’ve talked to people building and operating the next generation of applications. Across the map, we saw cloud-native applications built upon an ever-increasing number of public cloud infrastructure APIs, tools, and managed services. Modern infrastructure lets anyone create automation, not just a few gatekeepers. This shift is powerful, but comes at the cost of complexity, which we built Relay to manage.
In the beginning we, as Humanity, created computers. We said “let it be electricity” and it was the light on our ballistic trajectory calculations. We saw the numbers matched and they were good. And we called the set of calculation instructions as “programs”, which were loaded straight into computer memories. And so was the first computing decade. GNU Linux commands didn’t exist yet, because there were no operating systems either.
It’s budgeting season for many of us. As a result, capacity planning and cost justification for hardware purchases are likely on your mind. But don’t fear, because Galileo has you covered. We’ve curated a bunch of our most popular and helpful resources for your capacity planning project, and they’re all here in one handy place.
Today, AWS has announced AWS Network Firewall: a new managed service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). As a launch partner, Splunk has worked closely with AWS to provide customers an integration to AWS Network Firewall. In today’s blog, co-authored by my esteemed colleague Anush Jayaraman, we’ll first detail the data flow architecture and your options to ingest the AWS Network Firewall data.
