If you’re an SRE, you might view AIOps with great excitement. By automating complex workflows and troubleshooting processes, AIOps could make your life as an SRE much easier. Alternatively, SREs may choose to view AIOps with disdain. They might think of AIOps as just a fancy buzzword that doesn’t live up to its promises, and that can become a distraction from the SRE tools that really matter. Which perspective is right?

One of our most requested and popular features, IP ranges for the Docker executor, recently became available to all customers on a Performance or Scale plan. With IP ranges, you can route job traffic through an IP address that is verifiably associated with CircleCI. This enables your team to meet compliance requirements by limiting the connections that communicate with your infrastructure. With any new feature, you want to know how much it’s going to cost your team.

Kubernetes provides a set of primitives to run resilient, distributed applications. It takes care of scaling and automatic failover for your application and it provides deployment patterns and APIs that allow you to automate resource management and provision new workloads.

Containerization packages a software component and its environment, dependencies, and configuration into an isolated unit called a container. That makes it possible to deploy an application consistently across different computing environments, whether on-premises or on the cloud. The concept of containerization is more than a decade old.

In February we had our first online meetup of the year, 'Connecting and securing your microservices by using EnRoute.' Check it out on our YouTube channel if you missed it. Meanwhile, for Civo Shorts, David Flanagan of Pulumi explains why Civo is his service provider of choice for testing environments. Plus guides and tutorials on all things Cloud Native and Civo. Read on.

Serverless Computing, or simply serverless, is a hot topic in the current software market. More and more companies are shifting their operations from traditional server-oriented architecture to faster, more modular serverless architecture. The “Big Three” cloud vendors (AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure) have shown immense interest in offering the best serverless experience possible. But what exactly is serverless? And how does it work if there is no server at all?

In the first post in this series, I talked about the challenges for the US Government sector when attempting to introduce DevOps. The sector lags behind others such as Financial Services on every measure, yet the technical obstacles like a disruption to workflows and a lack of appropriate skills are the same.

This article covers such a popular topic as using aggregation rules for metrics. We will learn why it is important to use aggregations and what tools exist for working with them. Also, we will explore all the benefits of using MetricFire's Hosted Graphite solution to store, process, analyze and monitor your metrics.

Not long ago, developers built applications with little awareness about security and compliance. Checking for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and policy violations wasn’t their job. After creating a fully-functional application, they’d throw it over the proverbial fence, and a security team would evaluate it at some point – or maybe never. Those days are gone – due to three main shifts.

If you’ve spent any amount of time in the.NET / Microsoft developer ecosystem, you’ve probably heard the term “NuGet” in reference to code packages, package managers, software libraries, and even software installers. Understandably, this can cause a lot of confusion around what NuGet actually is.
