KuppingerCole AG published its report assessing Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions in the market for 2023. Their leadership compass helps cloud users find an appropriate solution to meet CSPM needs of an organization to monitor, assess, and manage risks associated with the use of cloud services. Fifteen vendors were assessed based on responses to a questionnaire, strategy briefing, and demo.

With more companies switching to cloud service providers, we are seeing a drastic increase in the amount of electricity required to run the data centers that are hosting all the machines required to run these platforms. Currently, data centers produce 3% of global carbon emissions, which is roughly 1.5% of the worldwide electricity demand.

In our previous blog, we introduced smartNICs as technology enablers for next-generation converged data centres. We covered how smartNICs can increase efficiency and drive return on investment. In this blog post, we explain how this innovative technology can help the telecom industry. SmartNICs use cases for the telecom sector are still emerging. However, when they arrive, it will be big for the sector, especially at edge clouds where speed in user plane packet processing matters the most.

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) have become the cornerstone of efficient development, serving as the central hub where development teams access the tools and resources necessary for coding, testing, deploying, and maintaining software applications. As software development continues to evolve rapidly, IDPs are crucial in maintaining a competitive edge. This introduction sets the stage for the technical insights that will follow, sharing 5 tips for effective Internal Developer Platform management.

Let’s embark on a new journey as we begin a series of blog posts dedicated to the migration of BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services. I’d like to highlight that when I mention the migration to Azure Integration Services (AIS), I’m making a clear distinction from Logic Apps. This differentiation is important because, contrary to what some consultants and salespeople may suggest, migrating BizTalk Server entirely to Logic Apps is not a viable path!

As an engineer, engineering supervisor, or CTO, you are responsible for making architectural decisions that help your team create innovative products and optimize technology costs. The type of architecture you select affects how much control you have over data, infrastructure, and customization options. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model is one of the major architectures you can use to deliver services to customers — anytime and anywhere.

One of Kubernetes' killer features is its ability to seamlessly update applications no matter how large your deployment is. Did a developer make a code change, and now you need to update a thousand running containers? Just run kubectl apply -f manifest.yaml and watch as Kubernetes replaces each outdated pod with the new version.

The new law, SB 253, aims to bring more transparency and accountability to the public about how big businesses contribute to climate change. It also hopes to encourage companies to reduce their emissions and align with the state’s ambitious climate goals. By 2030, California plans to lower its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below what they were in 1990.

Continuous integration (CI) is the process of integrating changes from multiple contributors to create a single software project. A key component for a smooth CI pipeline is testing. Tests prove that the code does exactly what it says on the tin and that it’s safe to merge the code into the central repository. Tests also anticipate edge cases and ensure that the code handles such cases in a deterministic manner.
