The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
Simplify Installation and Maintenance with the Project Calico Operator
Within the Kubernetes ecosystem, the Operator Pattern aims to encode the tasks that human operators perform with installing, maintaining, and upgrading infrastructure. It goes beyond manifests and Helm charts to add additional logic to manage critical services. Starting with the 3.15 release, Project Calico will provide an operator for managing Calico installations on Kubernetes clusters.
Leveraging the Database Performance Analyzer API
The RESTful API for Database Performance Analyzer is an incredible time-saver if you are working in an environment where databases go in and out of production. You can easily hook a pre-existing automation job directly into the RESTful API and you'll be monitoring the database in moments. In this video, we'll show you how to get to the self-documented API and what you need to send a command or two.
Announcing Status Checks to Ensure Safe Chaos Engineering Scenarios
One of the most important aspects of any Chaos Engineering program is knowing that every experiment is being run safely. And one of the simplest ways to ensure safe experiments is by having safeguards that prevent running chaos experiments on a system that is unhealthy or has an incident in progress. Today, Gremlin is excited to announce Status Checks, which run before you kick off a Chaos Engineering Scenario in order to verify your system is in a steady state.
Craft Team Culture by Celebrating Deployments
Building a healthy productive engineering culture is hard and just deploying frequently with continuous deployment is not enough. I'm going to show you how you can use a carrot, not a stick, approach to take continuous deployment to the next level by celebrating team values with Sleuth.
Three Ways Federal Agencies Can Manage and Secure Their Hybrid Data Centers
As hybrid environments become more popular, federal IT teams are faced with managing and securing their on-premises and cloud infrastructures, while minimizing costs—and there’s no single tool or approach that can solve all these problems. With this in mind, let’s look at three ways federal agencies can address these challenges by adopting new mindsets, tools, and best practices.
DNS Monitoring 101: Verify DNS Mapping
This Tip of the Day is the first in a three-part series on Domain Name System (DNS) monitoring. The Domain Name System is often described as “the phonebook of the Internet.” While humans access the Internet via domain names such as npr.org or bbc.com, web browsers interact via Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so that browsers know which Internet resources to load.
A Next Step Beyond Test Driven Development
The most successful software development movement of my lifetime is probably test-driven development or TDD. With TDD, requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the code is improved so the tests pass. You know it, you probably use it; and this practice has helped our entire industry level up at code quality. But it’s time to take a step beyond TDD in order to write better software that actually runs well in production. That step is observability driven development.
