SMS Alerts for GitHub Actions - Civo Navigate NA 2023

Rishab Kumar, a Developer Evangelist at Twilio, shares their insights on implementing SMS alerts for GitHub actions during an informative talk. Their presentation primarily focuses on using GitHub Actions for build and CI/CD tasks due to its efficient cost structure. However, Rishab points out a feature gap: the platform lacks the capability for SMS alerts or phone calls. To address this, they demonstrate how to configure SMS alerts in a manner akin to enterprise tooling such as OpsGenie or PagerDuty.

Troubleshooting ECS Container Crashes

Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a versatile platform that enables developers to build scalable and resilient applications using containers. However, containerized services, like Node.js applications, may face challenges like memory leaks, which can result in container crashes. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the process of identifying and addressing memory leaks in Node.js containers running on ECS. First, let’s look closer at what a memory leak is.

Kubernetes Community Days Munich Recap

A couple of weeks ago I had the absolute joy of attending KCD Munich for the first time, with my friend and colleague Guy Menahem (whom some of you know simply as The Good Guy on Twitter and YouTube). Besides rooting for Guy and his co-speaker, Arsh Sharma of Okteto, during their session on Backstage.io and IDPs, I enjoyed being untethered from ‘booth duty’ and free to engage with all the beautiful human beings that gathered together for this Kubetastic event!

Demo Roundup: PagerDuty Operations Cloud for Kubernetes

In this demo, Corbin Mills shows how to use the PagerDuty Operations Cloud to streamline and automate how a node failure is resolved. You’ll see how he uses event orchestration (in PagerDuty AIOps) to enrich an alert with pod names, and automatically runs a job to check the Kube API status, so that a responder has instant context. AIOps is also grouping and suppressing alerts. Then you’ll see how the responder can run more health status checks without the need to SSH into the environment or interrupt a co-worker for access.
