A core challenge for threat detection engineering is reproducing common attacker behavior. Several open source and commercial projects exist for traditional endpoint and on-premise security, but there is a clear need for a cloud-native tool built with cloud providers and infrastructure in mind. To meet this growing demand, we’re happy to announce Stratus Red Team, an open source project created to emulate common attack techniques directly in your cloud environment.

Content delivery networks (CDNs) reduce latency by delivering cached data (e.g., JavaScript files, stylesheets, images, and videos) from a network of linked proxy servers to end users around the globe. CDNs help reduce the load on your origin servers and shorten the distance that data needs to travel, thus improving the end-user experience.

As a managed data plane service for containerized applications, Spot Ocean provides a severless experience for running containers in the cloud. Ocean integrates with the control plane of your choice, and handles key areas of infrastructure management, from provisioning compute and autoscaling, to pricing optimization and right-sizing. A core component of Ocean’s architecture is the Ocean controller, which is how Ocean and your Kubernetes cluster integrate and interact.

Spot by NetApp’s Ocean includes a powerful feature called “cluster roll.” This feature simplifies applying changes to Kubernetes worker nodes. Typical changes include applying a new image, modifying or adding user data, and updating security groups. A cluster roll applies these changes without having to disable the Ocean autoscaler. It also removes the need for you to manually attach new nodes or remove replaced nodes from the cluster.

It's the middle of the night when your phone goes off. You rub your eyes and unlock the screen to see a SEV 1 alert from your incident management tool. The application is down, multiple cloud server instances are offline, and the remaining instances are being overwhelmed by the sudden increase in demand. You jump out of bed and start trying to troubleshoot. You log into your cloud provider and try to provision systems manually, only to find out you can't.

I’m inordinately proud to work for Redgate Software. One of the biggest reasons for my pride is because I can say, without equivocation, we make fantastic software that will help you do your job better, easier, and faster. However, there was one piece of software, many years ago now, that I wasn’t so proud of. Let me put it this way: I tried to get rid of SQL Monitor.
