Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) is a methodology which helps technology teams deliver higher-quality software faster through automation. At OpsRamp, we have embarked on the journey of CI/CD transformation and have seen tremendous change in the way we build and release our products. Michael Fisher, Group Product Manager, OpsRamp explained the journey and lessons learned in this process during a recent webinar.

These days, the internal workings of Linux applications involve many different moving parts. Sometimes, it can be rather difficult to debug them when things go wrong or run slower than expected. Tracing an application’s execution is one way of understanding potential issues without diving into the source code. To this end, we wrote an app-tracing tool called etrace, designed to detect performance bottlenecks and runtime issues in snaps.

Amazon Route 53 provides DNS and traffic routing services for cloud applications. You can use Route 53 to define multiple routing policies to send requests to a variety of endpoints, and configure DNS health checks to re-route traffic for failover, ensuring high availability of your services.

In this blog we’ll share the journey we went on to solve a not-so-easy customer problem: a critical Windows services restart during Puppet agent upgrades. As with most software fixes, it starts with a customer ticket: component DHCP Server service restarts after an upgrade. This troubleshooting journey goes from analyzing Windows installer logs, to using undocumented Windows API calls, and back to the Windows installer logs, until we eventually found a solution.

Qovery is excited to announce that we are now a silver member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and Linux Foundation (LF). As a CNCF silver member, we are looking forward to contributing to CNCF projects and playing an active role in developing the cloud-native ecosystem. Qovery also recently makes is deployment engine open-source, an abstraction layer library that turns easy apps deployment on AWS, GCP, Azure, and other Cloud providers. ‍

As Kubernetes continues to establish itself as the industry standard for container orchestration, finding effective ways to use a declarative model for your applications and tools is critical to success. In this blog, we’ll set up a K3s Kubernetes cluster in AWS, then implement secure GitOps using ArgoCD and Vault. Check out the source for the infrastructure and the Kubernetes umbrella application here.
