The year 2021 has ended, and we are now entering 2022. Last year, Microsoft released a few new Azure services and updated others. This blog post will discuss the most exciting cloud integration-related updates and releases.

Last week I created a guide for our users to set up an NGINX service as an API Gateway with Qovery. The API gateway must redirect the incoming traffic to the appropriate service with the correct port. My problem is that the API Gateway does not know the ports exposed for every service. In this post, I will show you a quick tip on finding the port of a Kubernetes service with a single DNS request. Let's go!

Speedscale is excited to join the AWS Partner Network (APN), the global community of partners who leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build solutions and services for customers. AWS Partners are uniquely positioned to help businesses take full advantage of all that AWS has to offer and accelerate the journey to the cloud. As part of this achievement, Speedscale has completed the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR).

Cloud computing is vast. It encompasses a huge range of architectural styles, classifications, and types. This complex computing network has transformed the way we work and is a crucial part of our daily lives, both at home and at work. For organizations, there are many ways to “cloud”, but let’s start with the basics of cloud computing; the internet cloud.

CircleCI cloud offers over 20 resource classes (varying CPU and RAM) across multiple execution environments. Finding the best resource class size for your job — not too big and not too small — can sometimes be a challenge. But now, you can view CPU and RAM usage for Docker executors within the UI. The new dashboard, found in the new Resources tab on the job details page, displays the CPU and RAM, for all parallel runs in your Docker job.

For the past three years, I have been running and facilitating a community where folks from all levels and departments at CircleCI can come together to discuss diverse topics. We call it “Let’s Talk Engineering.” Some of the topics we’ve covered have been technical in nature, while others have focused more on leadership: how different teams operate, personal growth, and writing to name a few. Let’s Talk Engineering celebrates interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity.

Profitability in SaaS can be tricky. A company's net earnings are based on its invested capital, assets, and equity. But its profit margin shows how much money it extracts from its total sales or revenue — its ability to turn revenue into profit. Performing a thorough margin analysis or profit margin analysis is a reliable way to assess the company’s financial health.

Cybersecurity continues to be a thorny problem for businesses and government agencies as breaches, disruptions, and data thefts continue to escalate. To help ensure that the growing number of government and private organizations implementing Kubernetes solutions have the highest possible levels of security, the National Security Agency (NSA) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have issued guidelines for hardening the security of Kubernetes implementations.

Are you looking for an open source cloud platform and you don’t know where to start? Are you getting lost in all the independent rankings and cloud platform comparison pages? Try OpenStack and get your open source cloud platform up and running today. OpenStack works at any scale: from a single workstation to thousands of nodes and installs in minutes. Sounds impossible? Give it a try or continue reading to explore where is it coming from.

Linux server management is an integration of cybersecurity and business objectives. Linux server management at scale is a vastly different activity from interacting with a terminal on one machine. The best Linux server management tools universally offer a server management GUI within a web browser. Implementation details matter, especially in a pay-for-compute world. Sysadmin tools that don’t have a lightweight footprint increase overall compute costs.
