The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
New Feature: Slug URLs
Healthchecks.io pinging API has always been based on UUIDs. Each Check in the system has its own unique and immutable UUID. To signal a start, a failure, or a particular exit status, clients can add more bits after the UUID: This is conceptually simple and has worked quite well. It requires no additional authentication. The UUID value is the authentication, and the UUID “address space” is so vast nobody is going to find valid ping URLs by random guessing any time soon.
Improve data accuracy and reliability with the Puppet CMDB Sync for ServiceNow
It can be challenging to manage enterprise infrastructure across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments with accurate and timely tracking asset details — especially if you don't know what you have. The more systems deployed, the more visibility is necessary for your IT operations teams to meet critical business Service Level Agreements successfully.
Announcing Puppet Compliance Enforcement Modules
Hi, it’s me... Back again with something exciting: Puppet’s new Compliance Enforcement Modules, or CEMs. We’ve been working on some pretty cool stuff since we launched Puppet Comply last year. Lots of great feedback has come in, and we’re thankful for every opportunity we get to show our customers how we can help. This feedback comes in many forms, but one of the things we’ve heard time and time again is that achieving compliance is still hard.

The Way We Work: N-able's hybrid work model
We’ve all seen the headlines. It’s no secret companies are being forced to re-examine the employee experience and what the future of work will look like in a post-pandemic world. With the adaptation to remote work, the pandemic created a new normal—where office and home life are blended, and people became accustomed to more flexibility. Now that flexibility is a benefit people don’t want to lose.
Protecting internal services with Cloudflare Access
Typically, an infrastructure is made up of numerous critical services which should not be exposed to everyone. In this blog by Uzziah, learn how Cloudflare Access enables you to protect internal services that you’d rather not expose to everyone.
Using the Resource Timeline in Request Metrics
The Resource Timeline in Request Metrics is a heat map of all the files requested by your pages. It shows the range of resource load time and critical load events experienced by all users, not just a single point load. The data allows you to see which resources impact your page metrics as well as the variability in their load time.

Let's Encrypt DST Root CA X3 certificate set to expire
If you've been using Let's Encrypt for a while, you may have noticed that their certificates are signed by a root certificate titled DST Root CA X3. That root certificate is set to expire in a few hours. Any certificates still signed by that root will no longer be valid. But luckily, that shouldn't form a problem for most Let's Encrypt users. For a while now, new SSL issuances by Let's Encrypt have issued certificates against DST Root CA X3 (the one that is about to expire) and ISRG Root X1.
