Configuration management is an essential process for DevOps teams. It allows engineers to manage dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of machines in a consistent and automated way. While there are many configuration management tools available, three of the most popular are Chef, Puppet, and Ansible. In this post, we’ll explain how these tools work and the unique benefits that they offer.
DevOps is an ongoing process requiring constant communication, collaboration, and automation. Teams must be able to move projects from conceptualization to release as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Not only do organizations need to have workflows in place to facilitate DevOps, but they also need the right tools.
The impact of the colossal Starwood Hotels & Resorts data breach continues to reverberate across the global technology community. In its wake, the importance of log management and security information event management (SIEM) systems has once again come to the forefront. Let’s explore what SIEM is, the many acronyms emerging in the SIEM space and where logging fits into the picture.
Scalability is a core requirement of modern applications. Applications need to be able to handle sudden changes in demand without losing resilience or performance. With the popularity of cloud computing and microservices, DevOps teams have a countless number of platforms and tools for deploying scalable applications. However, true scalability involves much more than just migrating an application to the cloud.
Multi-cloud is a cloud computing strategy that uses two or more different cloud services. This can be a combination of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), or Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions running in a public or private cloud environment. Multi-cloud offers a number of benefits including greater reliability and availability, less vendor lock-in, and potentially lower costs.
Observing modern applications is challenging. Microservices allow for applications that are not only more distributed but are made up of a number of different languages, frameworks, and backend services. DevOps teams have far greater flexibility in where and how they deploy applications,but when it comes time to collect logs, this flexibility can quickly become a hurdle.
A massive data breach at Marriott and Starwood Hotels and Resorts has put the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) back in the spotlight. As the hotel chain faces record fines under the GDPR, privacy experts are again extolling the importance of secure log management practices to avoid suffering a similar fate as Starwood.
