It is imperative for DevOps success that operations teams provide a good developer experience and that developers have what they need for productive workflows. When this is done automatically and seamlessly, teams can get code to production faster. However, it’s not enough to get code committed quickly. That code must also be compliant and secure. Developers should not find out at the last minute that they used a noncompliant package leading to hours of re-work.

The question that people who don’t know us constantly ask, “What does Platform.sh do, exactly?” Our new overview video aims to answer just that. We took a five-step approach to ensure our message was both clear and succinct: We hope that this video addresses the question about what Platform.sh does and inspires you to use the same five-step framework when you’re tasked with explaining a difficult concept.

“Service outage! Help!” These words (or their variations), have preceded notable losses of millions and billions of dollars in the 21st century. From large corporations to SMBs, no one is immune to the effects of downtime – whether planned or unplanned. However, the earlier an issue is noticed, the faster it is acted upon and resolved, resulting in little or no customer impact.

Follow these steps to write a great SRE job resume.

Over the past decade, businesses have flocked to the public cloud, with the promise of faster innovation, improved scalability — and of course, cost savings. Yet for many companies, the reality of cloud migration has been a different story. CFOs are blindsided by high costs and uncontrolled spending. Meanwhile, engineering teams struggle to justify and explain their spend — often frustrated that finance doesn’t understand, even when spend is growing healthily along with the business.

First, I’d like to say that pager duty isn’t something we should treat like chronic pain or diabetes, where you just constantly manage symptoms and tend to flare-ups day and night. Being paged out of hours is as serious as a fucking heart attack. It should be RARE and taken SERIOUSLY. Resources should be mustered, product cycles should be reassigned, until the problem is fixed.

I’m sure most of us have heard this saying before, and if you are in the DevOps space, I’m sure this is a scenario that you deal with daily. Most of us started even before we even had all these nice terms, such as DevOps, SREs, DevSecOps, and so many others, when we were all Sys Admins.

October went fast, full of news and packed with interesting robotics applications. This month certainly doesn’t need an intro, so we will let the news take all your attention.

Object storage has by far the most simplistic interface out there, with no need for complicated SCSI drivers, HBA drivers, multipathing tools, or volume managers embedded into your Operating System. All you need to do is point your application at an HTTP endpoint, and use a simple set of verbs to describe what you want to do with a piece of data. Do you want to PUT it somewhere for safekeeping? Do you want to GET it so that you can do some work with that piece of data?

Ask any DevOps engineer, and they will tell you about all the alerts they enable so they can stay informed about their code. These alerts are the first line of defense in the fight for Perfect Uptime SLA. With every good solution out there, you can find plenty of methods for alerting and monitoring events in the code. Each method has its own reasons and logic for how it works and why it’s the best option. But what can you do when you need to connect two opposing methodologies? You innovate!
