One of the greatest challenges that operators and developers face is infrastructure provisioning: it should be resilient, reliable, reproducible and even audited. This is where Infrastructure as Code (IaC) comes in. In the last few years, we have seen many tools that tried to solve this problem, sometimes offered by the cloud providers (AWS CloudFormation) or vendor-agnostic solutions like Terraform and Pulumi.
Successful IT operations management (ITOM) of today’s complex enterprise infrastructure requires collecting a lot of data and making informed, automated decisions based on the insights contained in that data.
The CircleCI visual config editor (VCE) is now generally available as an open source project. Development teams can now create and modify CircleCI config files in a visual drag-and-drop, low-code environment. The VCE is a node-graph editor that you can use to modify CircleCI config elements and generate config files. It provides a frictionless way to build CI/CD pipelines and interact with CircleCI’s platform in an efficient, user-friendly visual interface.
While many people know us from our semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, few have visibility into what goes on behind the scenes to support Broadcom’s global business. Within the Broadcom Software division, the Broadcom Global Technology Organization (GTO) is responsible for managing an extensive IT infrastructure, one that spans 18 data centers, 100 sites, and 400 R&D labs.
