The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
DevOps is a common name in the technology household. Teams, small or big, are embracing this concept to deliver applications faster, improve software quality, and add efficiency in the development process from the very beginning. Shortening the feedback loop leads to a cost-effective way for businesses to find and fix defects earlier in the cycle process. Plus, it lowers the software failure rate in production and minimizes time wastage for the development team.
Open source software, as the name suggests, is developed in the open. The software can be freely inspected by anyone, and can be freely patched as required to suit the security requirements of the organisation running it. Any publicly identified security issues are centrally triaged and tracked.
In the first post of this series, we covered the general idea and benefits of model-driven observability with Juju.
