Find the Path to Go Module Major Versions With GoCenter

How many major versions of a given Go module are there? That simple question doesn’t always have an easy-to-discover answer. Golang’s unique system of semantic import versioning solves some key problems of ensuring Go module compatibility across dependencies. But it also makes it a bit harder to learn what major versions of a Go module are available. The go client doesn’t provide a way to find out, nor will it inform you when a newer major version of a dependency exists.

SDLC Security: It's Personal for JFrog

The SolarWinds hack, which has affected high-profile Fortune 500 companies and large U.S. federal government agencies, has put the spotlight on software development security — a critical issue for the DevOps community and for JFrog. At a fundamental level, if the code released via CI/CD pipelines is unsafe, all other DevOps benefits are for naught.

Install JFrog Platform on Kubernetes in Under 20 Minutes

We get it, installing Artifactory and the JFrog DevOps Platform on Kubernetes can be daunting. As easy as we’ve sought to make it with our official JFrog installation Helm charts, there are a lot of decisions to be made. That’s meant to give you the widest possible choice for how to best fit your JFrog installation to your infrastructure. But choice can be overwhelming, too.

JFrog CLI Plugin: rt-fs

JFrog CLI Plugins allow enhancing the functionality of JFrog CLI to meet the specific user and organization needs. All public plugins are registered in JFrog CLI's Plugins Registry. The source code of a plugin is maintained as an open source Go project on GitHub. Anyone can develop their own plugin, in Go. This rt-fs plugin runs file system commands in Artifactory. It is designed to mimic the functionality of the Linux/Unix 'ls' and 'cat' commands. Watch this video to see how.

JFrog ChartCenter: How to Include Helm Charts from Source

Learn how you can add your Helm chart to ChartCenter directly from its Git-stored source. ChartCenter will host your Helm repository for you to share it with the world. Until the release of Helm v3, you might have submitted your Helm chart to the official `stable` or `incubator` chart repository to share it with the community. But this Helm chart archive is no longer actively maintained, and is not accepting new charts. Now all Helm charts must be in a hosted repository elsewhere.

Achieving Continuous Deployment with Artifactory Webhooks & Docker

Continuous Deployment (CD) requires setting up your infrastructure and automation to update your solution with the latest code change from the main branch. That’s what we call “Liquid Software”. Full automation makes your deployment seamless, less error prone, faster and it makes the feedback loop shorter because you can now deploy after each change. Achieving continuous deployment requires the following elements.

DevOps 101: Introduction to CI/CD

When you’re new to an industry, you encounter a lot of new concepts. We tend to use a lot of jargon, the documentation may be written with someone more experienced in mind or rely on contextual knowledge of the rest of the space, and it often doesn’t explain the “why” for the tool. This can make it really difficult to get your feet underneath you on an unfamiliar landscape, especially for junior engineers.

Host Your Helm Chart in ChartCenter Directly From Source

Ownership isn’t for everyone — building and maintaining an abode is a lot of trouble when all you need is a place to hang your hat. That can also be true when you’re a creator of Helm charts. You’ll certainly want the benefits of a Helm chart repository to store, version, and share your charts for deploying applications to Kubernetes.
