The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
Each year we eagerly await the publication of the RightScale (now Flexera) State of the Cloud report to see which technologies and players are trending in the cloud ecosystem. In this year’s report (2019) one of the interesting takeaways is that in 2018 public cloud spending grew three times faster than private cloud and companies intend to spend almost 25% more on public cloud in 2019 than they did in 2018.
I’m on the og-aws Slack group, one of the more active groups of AWS developers and cloud practitioners. A member of the channel, Samuell, asked a question about S3, Cloudfront, and new files, and I saw the perfect opportunity to help out, so I offered.
We all want to ship code on a daily basis. As developers, we want the faster feedback cycle that comes with continuous delivery, and we know it’s better for our team and product in the long run. So why do so many development teams still have such long release cycles?

What do you actually get when you put a function inside a VPC? And what are the downsides?
Istio is a hot technology right now. Giants such as Google and IBM have devoted entire teams of engineers to the project to push it to production readiness. Since 1.0 has been released recently, I wanted to write down some of the things that confused me coming from a strictly Kubernetes only world where we have Ingress controllers and Service load balancers and how Istio takes these same concepts but on stimulants.
Docker Compose is a great tool to develop your Ruby on Rails application locally. It allows you to easily isolate your ruby environment, database, and even Redis if you use something like Sidekiq.
Writing Go applications in an isolated environment with Docker comes with some great advantages. You get a clean GOPATH, the bare essentials for developing, and you can easily change which Go version you’re developing against. In this quick tutorial, we’re going to show you how to structure a Go application with Docker Compose as your development environment.
FireHydrant.io has a changelog feature with a Kubernetes integration. Building this integration was challenging because the knowledge about creating an event oriented system with the Kubernetes client-go project was not as easy to understand as I would have hoped.
