Part of a successful reliability program is being able to monitor and review your progress toward improving reliability. Being able to run tests on services is a big part of it, but how can you tell you're making progress if you can only see your latest test results? There should be a way to track improvements or regressions in your reliability testing practice across your organization in a way that's easy to digest. That's where the Reliability Dashboard comes in.

The most important part of disk usage monitoring is to check the utilization of each filesystem and each mount point which can reveal existing or impending issues with the storage space on your infrastructure.

Just consider how much of your day relies on online digital technologies. Perhaps you hopped on an app to pre-order your morning coffee and then logged onto a platform to book a car to work. Or, perhaps you stayed home to work, using digital tools to connect with your colleagues and exchange information.

DNS resolution is the first step taken to form an internet connection. This includes when any device is being used to access a website or any type of internet-enabled application, such as e-commerce, CRM, or food delivery. These applications are connected to the internet via IP-backbone, which is typically controlled by a protocol named BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). Each application has a unique numbering schema on the internet, referred to as IP address.

Cloud-native infrastructure has become the standard for deploying applications that are performant and readily available to a globally distributed user base. While this has enabled organizations to quickly adapt to the demands of modern app users, the rapid nature of this migration has also made cloud resources a primary target for security threats.

We are thrilled to announce you can now scan your environment variables for secrets with the new env-variable-secrets-scanner-policy in Kubewarden! This policy rejects a Pod or workload resources such as Deployments, ReplicaSets, DaemonSets , ReplicationControllers, Jobs, CronJobs etc. if a secret is found in the environment variable within a container, init container or ephemeral container. Secrets that are leaked in plain text or base64 encoded variables are detected.

One of my favourite features in incident.io is Decision Flows. With it, you can create a series of questions which eventually lead to a decision based on what you’ve answered. You can pull up this flow during an incident and it’ll guide you through the questions. It’s like having an experienced on-caller calmly guide you through what to do when a crisis hits. This is complementary to incident.io’s Workflows feature.
