In a single, monolithic repository, also known as a monorepo, you keep all your application and microservice code in the same source code repository (usually Git). Typically, teams split the code of various app components into subfolders and use Git workflow for new features or bug fixes. This approach is natural for most applications or systems developed using a monolithic architecture. Code in such a monorepo typically has a single build pipeline that produces the application executable.

In its mission to simplify building and running cloud-native applications for users, Amazon has announced the GA of AWS App Runner, a new purpose-built container application service. With security top of mind for most organizations shifting to the cloud, Sysdig has collaborated with AWS to enable threat detection for the new platform.

For good or for ill, technology is constantly shifting and with it, the roles of those who manage that technology also shift.

The shortest possible answer to that question, in my opinion, is “Yes”.

Businesses both small and large require agility in how they handle device firmware and network configurations. For large networks especially, manual monitoring and change implementation can be inefficient. As such, more and more IT departments turn to automated network configuration management tools with bulk change capabilities.
