GitHub Actions for Automated CI/CD Deployment with AWS CDK

A surprising number of development teams have failed to adopt automated deployment, oftentimes because people think their tech stack is either too simple or too complex. But GitHub Actions and AWS CDK provide tools and services to make deployment and automation tasks approachable, no matter the size or complexity of your environment. These tools also provide a high level of visibility throughout the deployment process.

Stay Alert! Building the Coralogix-Nagios Connector

Ask any DevOps engineer, and they will tell you about all the alerts they enable so they can stay informed about their code. These alerts are the first line of defense in the fight for Perfect Uptime SLA. With every good solution out there, you can find plenty of methods for alerting and monitoring events in the code. Each method has its own reasons and logic for how it works and why it’s the best option. But what can you do when you need to connect two opposing methodologies? You innovate!

Infrastructure as Code, part 3: automate Kubernetes deployments with CI/CD and Terraform

This series shows you how to get started with infrastructure as code (IaC). The goal is to help developers build a strong understanding of IaC through tutorials and code examples. In this post, I will demonstrate how to create continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines that automate the Terraform IaC deployments covered in part 1 and part 2 of this series. Here is a quick list of things we will accomplish in this post.
