Sit down with Ana and Jason for this week's show with Leonardo (Leo) Murillo, principal partner solutions architect at Weaveworks, and former DJ, who joins us from Costa Rica. Leo shares his take on GitOps, offers a lot of excellent resources to check out, and shares his thoughts on automating reliability. He also defines how to account for the “DJ variable” and “party parameters” alongside some fun anecdotes on DevOps.

All too often, the Kelverion team hear that businesses are trying to deliver more services with less resource, all whilst meeting tight Service Level Agreements. There are many automation use cases to relieve this pressure, and this article explores the six use case examples driving automation adoption within service management.

Our Software Defined Interconnection® platform brings together 1.3 million lines of code with one of the world’s largest global networks. In a recent PacketPushers podcast, PCCW Global’s CTO Paul Gampe and VP of Development and Operations Jay Turner went under the hood of our orchestration engine and shared some exclusive insights into our automation journey so far…

Version 2.4 improves its e2e tests, revamps how logging in the HAProxy Data Plane API works, adds support for namespace filtering in Consul Service Discovery, improves runtime capabilities for maps and ACLs, adds server-template support and adds log_targets to global and defaults sections.

Here’s a common situation that plagues many development teams. You run an application through your CI/CD pipeline and all of the tests pass, which is great. But when you deploy it to a live target environment the application just does not function as expected. You can’t always predict what will happen when your application is pushed live. The solution?

Support for including default values in custom pipelines has been a highly requested feature. We are happy to announce that this feature is now live. Providing a default value helps avoid errors when you manually trigger a custom pipeline. If you often rely on the same value for certain variables, it can be frustrating to get a failed build when you forget to specify the value or have a typo when providing the value.

Bitbucket Pipelines provides a Docker caching feature that can help improve build times. However, the limitation is that only compressed caches under 1GB are saved and can be used. In this blog, we outline a process showing how you can use compressed caches that are larger than 1GB. With Docker versions >= 19.03, you can use the BuildKit feature. With BuildKit, you don’t need to keep the cache locally before building the Docker image since it caches each build layer in your image registry.

Like the historic space race, the competition to plant the flag of DevOps is blasting off. According to market intelligence firm IDC, global business will invest $6.8 trillion in digital transformation by 2023. Yet research also suggests that 70 percent of them will fail to meet their goals. JFrog was the first company to offer a universal, hybrid, end-to-end DevOps platform.
