As we announced at Cephalocon 2023 in Amsterdam, Canonical has started to make container images for Ceph available. We received lots of questions at the booth about what it means to the average Ceph user who has or wants to deploy Ceph on Ubuntu. In this blog post, we will cover the benefits to users who are running containerised Ceph on Ubuntu, and specifically how these images can provide an improved security posture.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing, data redundancy is no longer just an option but a must-have feature for any business looking to fortify its data storage and accessibility. One of the most recent additions to the world of data redundancy is Azure Files’ Geo-Redundancy feature, a 2023 release that’s set to take the world of cloud storage by storm.

In our previous blogs on Capturing Application State and using Ephemeral Containers for Debugging Kubernetes, we discussed the value of being able to deploy specific tools to gather diagnostics for later analysis, while also providing the responder to the incident the means to resolve infrastructure or application issues.

If you’re a developer, DevOps engineer, or security technician, you know the feeling of managing multiple tools at once. It’s a phenomenon so prevalent in software development that it has its own name, “tool sprawl,” and it can make it hard for teams to do their jobs efficiently.

Tidal CEO, David Colebatch, had the privilege of sitting with Marcus Pozzan, Senior Partner Account Manager for ISVs at AWS Canada for the Canadian Pension Investment Funds Executive Briefing Day on April 18, 2023.

As a mobile game developer, there are many components of your game that you need to monitor. Everything from the servers that are hosting your game, to your best players, and your best-converting actions. That’s a lot of data, and it’s hard to know how to get the most out of that data. This article will look at the KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) you need to monitor, the best tools for monitoring these metrics, and how to handle this data in the most effective way.

Navigating compliance requirements can be complex because there are so many of them, and there is a good chance that at least one set of standards applies to you. Standards can be for specific sectors, like The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for healthcare, or may apply more generally to organizations across industries, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Streaming Aggregation and Recording Rules are two ways to tame High Cardinality. What are they? Why do we need them? How are they different?

Now more than ever our customers are asking us for ways to reduce their public cloud spend. Customers are also asking us whether spot instances are still providing the high level of discount that they always have. The reality is that spot instance pricing is still very much based on supply and demand. Excess capacity from the cloud provider means availability can change within minutes. Therefore, you might see pricing for a particular market increase for a few months and then dip shortly thereafter.

Static application security testing (SAST) involves analyzing source code to identify and address potential security vulnerabilities. Using SAST early in development identifies threats before they can affect a live environment. SAST is particularly important for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These pipelines automate the integration of new code changes into the main codebase and deploy applications to production environments.
