The cloud has become a core component of Information Technology because of its flexibility, affordability, and ease of use. Software is run via cloud subscription models, reducing time to market and simplifying distribution. Entire offices have moved into the cloud, allowing teams of all sizes to collaborate and communicate remotely. Beneath it all, files and data are stored and shared in the cloud where it’s readily accessible across devices.

The Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) zero day vulnerability in the Java logging framework Log4j (versions 2.0 to 2.14.1) was revealed on December 9, 2021. The Apache Foundation assigned the maximum CVSS score of 10 to Log4Shell, as millions of servers and potentially, billions of devices came under risk. Security professionals around the world began patching the vulnerability, and scanning their systems to rule out any potential breach.

Asset management is significant for all industries and sectors. If your organization is equipped with assets, then asset management is required in order to get maximum value from your assets & to keep them secure as well.

Ah, the romance of the railroad. Conductors shouting “all aboard”, watching the countryside whizz by, dining cars and sleeper cars, boxcars, the Orient Express, bullet trains, chasm-spanning bridges, the clickety clack of the rails, clang clang at the crossings, and the engineer waving from the caboose. As we near the two hundred year mark of the first passenger train in 1825, we can observe that railways, our oldest modern means of mass transportation, are as strong as ever.

As you start to have responsibility for more than a handful of SQL Server instances, you’ll need to get more organised. Everyone around you benefits if you’ve recorded basic things like what the server does and who is responsible for it, and we think that a great place to do this is in your monitoring tool (and, better still, if that’s SQL Monitor!).

I am excited to share that we’ve just launched our first open source project called ValidKube. The idea behind Validkube is to fuse together the capabilities of three other popular open-source projects (kubeval, kubectl-neat and trivy by Aqua) and present them in a single view, providing users with a way to ensure YAML code hygiene and security, all at the same time and with just a few clicks of the button.

What makes an engineering team? Communication, collaboration, process, order, and common goals. Otherwise, they would just be a bunch of engineers. The same is true of their tools. Connectivity and process turn a bunch of tools into a DevOps toolchain. If you need a DevOp toolchain, you can use it to easily build an incident response process.
