Fault Injection in your release automation

One of the real successes of the Agile Software development movement has been the push to have regular, frequent deployments. This has manifested as build and deployment automation and the general adoption of CI/CD. As engineers automate more processes of their software release lifecycle, an important question is how to automate Quality Assurance, which includes resilience testing and, more specifically, Fault Injection.

Linux CPU Utilization - How To Check Linux CPU Usage

CPU utilization is a crucial metric for measuring system performance and identifying potential bottlenecks in Linux systems. This article explores the concept of CPU utilization, factors contributing to high CPU usage, and various command-line tools and graphical utilities for monitoring and troubleshooting CPU utilization in Linux environments.

Argo CD and Codefresh GitOps Security Updates 3/18/2024 - Preventing Brute-Force and Denial of Service

In September 2023, security researchers from KTrust reported three issues through the official Argo CD security disclosure channels in accordance with Argo CD security policy. In coordination with other Argo maintainers, we have issued security updates for both Argo CD and Codefresh GitOps (enterprise Argo). Below you can read more about these CVEs, their impact, and mitigation.

Forward and reverse DNS lookups: What they are, why you need them, and how to configure them

Effectively managing the dynamics of domain name lookups through the DNS is crucial for boosting the speed and security of network connections. Forward and reverse DNS lookups, the yin and yang of network connections, translate human-friendly domain names into machine-readable IP addresses and vice versa, ensuring secure connections within both public and private networks.

Containerization and DevOps Optimizing Deployment with Docker and Kubernetes

DevOps practices have revolutionized how teams build, test, deploy, and manage applications, enabling rapid delivery without compromising quality. Central to this paradigm shift are containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. In this article, we’ll explore how containerization and DevOps intersect, and how leveraging Docker and Kubernetes can optimize deployment processes.

Strategies for Scaling Systems Reliably by Bob Lee

I was out there in sunny Austin this February, speaking at Civo Navigate 2024. The event was jam packed with amazing talks, and it was great meeting so many people with long and fascinating careers in engineering and Site Reliability. I had the privilege of meeting Bob Lee, who currently leads DevOps at Twingate — a cloud-based service that provides secured remote access, and poised to replace VPNs.

Design Details: On-call

On your bedside table sits a piece of software designed to wake you up. It loves bothering you when something goes wrong — and making it your responsibility to sort it out Meet the new incident.io On-call app. We designed it this way: to be as interruptive as possible. Whether you’re watching telly, at the gym, or as mentioned, fast asleep, it’ll get you. Got called even though you’re in silent mode? Great! We’ve done our job properly.

Rancher Live: The legal aspects of open source

Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies have become widely adopted in the last decade, making them ubiquitous. This has significantly contributed to the open-source movement and highlighted the importance of policymaking in the successful adoption and sustainability of the ecosystem. However, understanding and navigating the complex legal landscape on the path to production can be challenging, particularly for developers seeking to understand the ecosystem. That’s why, in this episode of Rancher Live, we will take a slight detour from talking tech to deconstructing some key policy issues associated with open-source software with OpenUK's CEO, Amanda Brock.
