Documentation, development and design for technical authors
Typically, a technical writer takes the product created by a development team, and writes the documentation that expresses the product to its users. At Canonical we take a different approach. Documentation is part of the product. It’s the responsibility of the whole team. Documentation work is led by a technical author, who is part of the team, and whose title signals their technical authority.

What is cloud-native automation and why is it important for telcos?
Automation. It’s not something most of us think about often, and that’s the whole idea. But automation plays a critical role in the IT world, especially for those who remember when software had to be updated manually. That importance takes on an added urgency when you consider next-generation telecommunications networks, as a cloud architecture brings with it layers of complexity that make automation a necessity.
Smarter handling of Flyway validation issues | The Tony and Tonie Show
In this video Tony and Tonie discuss the quick way to verify whether a Flyway validation error is a real cause for concern, due to retrospective metadata changes, or just the result of a developer valiantly adding formatting and documentation to improve the code. If the latter, developers can safely run Flyway repair to resume normal migrations.

How Are Cloud VPNs the Backbone of Secure Remote Access?
At a time when remote work and cloud-based solutions are shaping the business world, secure access to data has become essential. Cloud VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are central to this process, offering secure, scalable, and efficient solutions for remote access. Unlike traditional VPNs, which operate on-premises, Cloud VPNs integrate directly with cloud environments, making them indispensable for modern organizations reliant on cloud infrastructures and remote workforces.
What are Preview Environments?
Local preview environments are transforming how developers test and validate code changes before merging them into the main codebase. Acting as temporary cloud environments, they provide a production-like setting where new features and bug fixes can be tested in isolation, catching issues early and streamlining the development code review process. These environments are crucial for enhancing development velocity, especially in CI/CD workflows used by DevOps engineers and QA teams.
Secure your cloud environment from end to end with Datadog Infrastructure-as-Code Security
Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools like Terraform and CloudFormation allow teams to define, manage, and provision their cloud infrastructure using code, as opposed to clicking through consoles or executing commands via a CLI. IaC adoption is now widespread and helps teams increase productivity and efficiency, but it also introduces new surface area for mistakes, defects, and other risks.
