Maximize efficiency with Terraformer: Manage Squadcast resources via IaC

Ever since Terraform was first launched by HashiCorp, infrastructure teams have been quick to leverage its functionality. Because deploying infrastructure via code became so much easier and error-free. This surely became a great way to deploy new infrastructure with custom configurations, but what about managing cloud infrastructure that is already defined? Can Terraform be used to make changes to them? Or can it be used to deploy the same configurations to new environments?

SRE Best Practices

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a practice that emerged at Google because of its need for highly reliable and scalable systems. SRE unifies operations and development teams and implements DevOps principles to ensure system reliability, scalability, and performance. There's plenty of documentation on tactics for adopting automation and implementing infrastructure as code, but practical ops-focused SRE best practices based on real-world experience are harder to find. This article will explore 6 SRE best practices based on feedback from SREs and technical subject matter experts.

Introduction to Kubernetes Imperative Commands

Kubernetes was born out of the need to make our complex applications highly available, scalable, portable and deployable in small microservices independently. It also extends its capabilities to make adoption of DevOps processes and helps you set up modern Incident Response strategies to enhance the reliability of your applications.

SRE Maturity Model: How Do You Assess Your Team?

How do you evaluate your SRE team’s progress in implementing SRE? We discuss the key SRE indicators for evaluating your team’s progress in the SRE maturity model. ‍ What is the SRE maturity model? ‍ The SRE maturity model is a way of judging how far you are in implementing SRE principles. It is a method used by teams to understand where they ought to implement more SRE best practices to reach greater SRE maturity.

Observability Pipelines for an SRE

In data management, numerous roles rely on and regularly use observability data. The Site Reliability Engineer is one of these roles. Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) work on the digital frontlines, ensuring performant experiences by using observability data to maintain stability and awareness of software running in various environments across organizations.

Tag You're It: Organized, Configurable Tagging is a Must-do for Great Incident Analytics.

Wouldn’t it be nice to learn which parts of your service see the most incidents, or why one service experiences more Sev1 incidents than the others?
