Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

DevOps practices have revolutionized how teams build, test, deploy, and manage applications, enabling rapid delivery without compromising quality. Central to this paradigm shift are containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. In this article, we’ll explore how containerization and DevOps intersect, and how leveraging Docker and Kubernetes can optimize deployment processes.

On your bedside table sits a piece of software designed to wake you up. It loves bothering you when something goes wrong — and making it your responsibility to sort it out Meet the new incident.io On-call app. We designed it this way: to be as interruptive as possible. Whether you’re watching telly, at the gym, or as mentioned, fast asleep, it’ll get you. Got called even though you’re in silent mode? Great! We’ve done our job properly.

As more and more companies seek to enhance their network infrastructure, the adoption of SD-WAN solutions has become increasingly common. These solutions offer promising benefits, from optimizing application performance to reducing costs associated with traditional WAN architectures. However, while many SD-WAN vendors tout monitoring capabilities, they often fall short of providing comprehensive network visibility and proactive monitoring. So, what's the missing link?

A central focus of any business or organization is to build and foster efficient management practices across their teams. This often entails leveraging various frameworks and methodologies tailored to the specific aspects of business operations. So, what do ITSM, BRM, Agile, and Project Management frameworks have in common? What sets them apart? Are there ultimately better frameworks than others? How do you choose the right one? How do you implement them successfully?

There’s been a lot of recent interest in eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) and its application for container security solutions. Let’s examine eBPF’s features and benefits and how NeuVector utilizes them to enhance its full-lifecycle container security solution.

We are delighted to announce the release of Rancher Desktop 1.13.0! This update comes with the basic support for running WebAssembly (Wasm) containers and deploying them to Kubernetes, along with other improvements and fixes.

When you’re implementing automated testing, clarity and maintainability of test scripts are as crucial as the tests themselves. Playwright offers a feature that enhances the readability and ease of debugging of your tests: test steps. This article explores how to use test steps in Playwright to document your test cases effectively.

With end-to-end testing, efficiency is key. Every millisecond counts, especially when you're running a large suite of tests. Today, we'll dive into how you can use request interception in Playwright to significantly reduce the runtime of your scripts.

Because we live in an era where digital security is under constant threat from evolving cyber risks, effective patch management is more critical than ever. This strategy is not just about keeping systems up-to-date – it’s a comprehensive approach to safeguarding IT infrastructures against a spectrum of cyber threats, ensuring systems remain secure, compliant, and operationally efficient.

The two main ways to improve software are through patches and updates. While some may use the terms interchangeably, they are distinct processes that serve different purposes. By recognizing the differences between patches vs updates, software developers can effectively prioritize and communicate the nature of their releases, and your IT department can easily implement its patch management solution.
