Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform provides greater support for automation, especially when dealing with multiple resources in a complex cloud infrastructure. In this blog, learn how Terraform can make your life simple by launching multiple instances in one-go. If you are new to Amazon AWS and need to create or launch multiple resources in one go, then nothing is better than using Terraform count. The Terraform count argument allows you to launch as many resources as you wish, of the same kind.

Welcome back to another iteration of “Build Things on Purpose” where we talk with developers and engineers who are creating tools that help us build more reliable systems. Today Itiel Shwartz, CTO and Co-Founder of Komodor, has joined us to chat about what they’re doing to help tame the chaos of Kubernetes. Itiel talks about Komodor’s goal of making troubleshooting Kubernetes not only easy, but potentially even fun!

Written by Microsoft MVP Nick Cavalancia. Earlier this month, Microsoft announced the 2022 rollout of Mesh for Microsoft Teams as the next step in online and virtual collaboration. This seemingly bold step forward into a new type of interaction between individuals is more a natural evolution, taking years of augmented reality research and applying it in a way that provides value to organizations wanting to better collaborate.

Have you heard about the Puppet Practice Labs? Our free, browser-based, hands-on labs cover a variety of topics for getting started with Puppet — everything from installing the primary server to identifying server roles using package data collection, and much, much more. You can read more about them in my previous blog post. We’ve designed Puppet Practice labs to make learning Puppet fun, engaging, and memorable for learners of all levels.

Epinio, the application development engine for Kubernetes, is meant to take you from app to URL in one step. It does that by either applying buildpacks to your app or using a pre-built docker image. Epinio installs into any Kubernetes cluster to bring your application from source code to deployment and allow for developers and operators to work better together.

It feels like cybersecurity is dominating the newsfeeds, doesn’t it? There is a reason. Cyberattacks and cybercrime have risen dramatically in the last five years. 2020 broke all records in terms of data loss and the number of cyberattacks. Between 2019 and 2020 ransomware attacks alone rose by 62%, the same year that the World Economic Forum identified cyberattacks and data theft as two of the biggest risks to the global economy.

In the first post of this two-part series, we talked about the need to fully understand how users experience your website. Without understanding how your end users interact with your site’s pages—what’s working for them and what’s not—you’d be optimizing on a hunch without solid data to guide you.

This is a short blog post about a pattern that we’ve observed more frequently among some of the large enterprises: the use of AWS S3 as both an observability lake and a data bus. AWS S3’s simple API, ubiquitous language support, unmatched reliability and durability, retention options, and numerous pricing plans have made it the de facto standard for storing massive amounts of data.

In this post, we’ll walk through our journey of launching Cribl LogStream Cloud on AWS Graviton instances. In order to put our journey into perspective, it is worth spending a few moments to describe the product and its resource requirements.

With all the focus on public cloud infrastructures, it’s easy to believe that there is no room for on-premises deployments of infrastructure. However, on-prem deployments are not likely to completely go away because often it’s just the right thing to do.
