Tutorial: Shipping Docker Metrics to Logz.io

Docker is an essential bridge in modern DevOps. Despite Kubernetes overtaking Docker on orchestrating containers, the Docker container itself remains the standard and likely will for the foreseeable future. We developed the Docker Metrics collector to operate as its own container that will run Metricbeat using the modules you are running in real time. Now, in addition to the Docker module, we are now releasing an AWS module for operations in the cloud.

Introduction to Azure Functions 3.0

Azure Functions has recently released its new version “Azure Functions 3.0” and it is generally available now.

Any business architecture will involve Azure Functions, this need provokes the necessity of upgradation in such resources.

Our roadmap for the new Docker image API and pipeline build step enhancements

In our previous announcement for the removal of the Codefresh Docker registry, we presented a timeline of the migration phases along with the actions expected from our customers. One of the milestones in the migration process is the introduction of our new Image API along with several enhancements on the pipeline build step. We believe that these features deserve a dedicated explanation of why they are useful on their own (regardless of the registry removal).

HAProxyConf 2019 - How OUI.sncf Built Its CDN with HAProxy by Antonin Mellier and Nicolas Besin

Oui.sncf sells tickets and passes for rail travel around Europe. We operate the #1 French e-commerce website with more than 83 million travel products sold and more than 12 million unique visitors per month. We’ve been using HAProxy since 2009. When we decided to build our own CDN solution in 2015, we knew we’d include HAProxy as a main component. In this talk, we will show you how HAProxy is integrated into our CDN infrastructure and how we use it daily to manage, update, configure, and troubleshoot our infrastructure.

HAProxyConf 2019 - Inspect, Control, Report: HAProxy as the SRE's Door Man by Daniel Schneller

CenterDevice offers secure document storage and sharing with OCR, full-text indexing and automatic versioning. Our SREs use HAProxy to gain insights into the usage of our services, diagnose issues, and throttle or reject requests based on HAProxy ACLs. In this talk, you will see how we generate HAProxy configuration files using templates. We will describe our custom log format and demonstrate how we integrate HAProxy data with Kibana.

Lessons Learned Implementing ChatOps

Email overload, distributed teams and excessive meetings have caused many organizations to move their DevOps teams to messaging platforms and thus adopt ChatOps workflows. With thousands of open source installs and hundreds of customer implementations, we have a few lessons to share on interesting DevOps workflows, how incidents can be effectively communicated across distributed teams and what messaging in secure and regulated environments should look like.

DevOps 101: Container Registries

This is a repost from the JFrog dev.io blog site. When you’re new to an industry, you encounter a lot of new concepts. This can make it really difficult to get your feet underneath you on an unfamiliar landscape, especially for junior engineers. In this series, I’ll cover tools and terminology common to the DevOps space, plus the occasional newbie-friendly tutorial for emerging or established technologies. If you have a request or suggestion, let me know!

Securing open source through CVE prioritisation

According to a recent study, 96% of applications in the enterprise market use open-source software. As the open-source landscape becomes more and more fragmented, the task to assess the impact of potential security vulnerabilities for an organisation can become overwhelming. Ubuntu is known as one of the most secure operating systems, but why? Ubuntu is a leader in security because, every day, the Ubuntu Security team is fixing and releasing updated software packages for known vulnerabilities.
