Security compliance is the new black. Everyone is talking about it. Everyone is writing about it. Hopefully everyone is doing something about it, but it's a big lift for organizations. Compliance can mean adhering to departmental and company standards; it can mean well-defined regulatory standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and others. Compliance can mean adopting a standardized set of recommended protocols for cyber security. If compliance isn't on your radar right now, it should be.

As the new year approaches, we at Blameless like to ponder the future of Reliability Engineering. For 2021, we predicted that the practice of site reliability engineering (SRE) would continue to grow in terms of adoption, we would see adoption increase faster among smaller organizations, and SRE practices would get more attention to drive adoption compared to hiring. We’re sure you’ll agree that these trends have indeed strengthened in the last year.

For this episode your hosts, Jason Yee and Julie Gunderson, are sitting down for a year in review! With the new year just around the corner, lets take a glance back at a year of chaos...engineering that is. The rest of the chaos we will leave out of the conversation. Julie and Jason talk about their favorite outages of the year. From Fastly to texts from Julie’s mom, we’ve definitely got a heck of a year to consider!

The discovery of the Log4Shell vulnerability in the ubiquitous Apache Log4j package is a singular event in terms of both its impact and severity. Over 1 million attack attempts exploiting the Log4Shell vulnerability were detected within days after it was exposed, and it may take years before we see its full impact.

The as-a-service model and shared economy has changed the way people think about products, properties, and partnerships. Netflix found massive success not by improving the DVD experience but by eliminating it altogether. Companies like WeWork, Airbnb, and Vrbo created a shared economy that reduces the need for ownership. As a part of our business transformation in the last one year, Virtana has embraced both the sharing economy and as-a-service subscription.

2021 has been an interesting year for the Kubernetes and cloud native ecosystem. Due to the pandemic, cloud adoption saw a big spike in adoption. As the year wraps up soon, we wanted to reflect on the top findings from the Kubernetes and cloud native operations report and we have a cool infographic for you. The new version of the report for 2022 is due some time in January so stay tuned!

Which technology will lead the dive into the Metaverse – inspiring the infrastructure to give us an extra life If we needed evidence that the Metaverse is already alive and kicking, we don’t need to look farther than a recent wedding that took place in it. Incredibly, people are actually beginning to migrate part of their formerly-physical lives to the virtual world. Not to be left behind, companies are hastily repositioning themselves to cash in. Metaverse real estate is in-demand.

TLDR; Pleco is a service that automatically removes Cloud managed services and Kubernetes resources based on tags with TTL. When using cloud provider services, whether using UI or Terraform, you usually have to create many resources (users, VPCs, virtual machines, clusters, etc...) to host and expose an application to the outside world. When using Terraform, sometimes, the deployment will not go as planned.

If the last few years have taught us anything, it is that digital transformation is an inevitable reality for all industries, across the globe. Enterprises are running thousands of applications to deliver to growing customer needs. Data centers are continuously evolving to cater to these applications, with yesterday’s siloed, on-premises versions eventually making way to the hybrid cloud models that we see today.
