What is Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping

Modern applications are interdependent on different devices and servers. If you are not familiar with your software structure, you will encounter problems when you make changes within your application. To prevent this, you need to observe application discovery and dependency mapping (ADDM).

Key Challenges of Database Cloud Migration

As we shift enterprise computing to the cloud, the need for database migration increases—but with this comes the inherent challenges of migration and the need to plan. Moving to the cloud can come with more risks and obstacles than migrating a database within a data center or from one on-premises data center to another. If a business isn’t fully prepared to migrate, they’re almost certain to run into issues.

9 Essential DevOps Tools for 2021

DevOps is a philosophy, a culture, and a set of practices adopted by product teams to shorten the software development life cycle, enhance collaboration and visibility, and accelerate time to market for new updates while ensuring high-quality releases. At the core of the DevOps principal is the organization of software development (Dev) and IT Operations (Ops) engineers into cross-functional teams that can effectively build, run, and monitor their own software releases.

Canonical, Collabora, Nextcloud deliver work-from-home solution to Raspberry Pi and enterprise ARM users

March 25th, 2021 – Canonical, Collabora and Nextcloud announce the immediate availability of a content collaboration platform for 64bit ARM for both consumers and enterprises. Building on the prior Nextcloud Ubuntu Appliance it adds with Collabora Online, the first viable self-hosted web office solution on the popular Raspberry Pi 4 platform.

Use Nmap for faster discovery in Cloud Migrations

When starting a cloud migration project, one of the most important and often challenging parts is to have an accurate understanding of what you are trying to migrate. Over time, companies start new projects, which means creating new infrastructure, adding servers, databases, etc. This is a normal part of the development cycle. However, despite best efforts, inventories get out of sync.

Civo Online Meetup #7 - Kubernetes security focus

Four our seventh online meetup, we discussed the critical topic of cloud-native security, focusing on Kubernetes. We looked into security of clusters, containers and code as well as explore some applications that help make sure your setups are secure. With talks from Civo Director of Evangelism Saiyam, plus Civo Ambassadors Jahred Love and Milind Chawre. Get free credit to try the world’s first K3s-powered, managed Kubernetes service.

How to Optimize Server and VM Performance with VirtualMetric

The key to maximizing revenues and ensuring foolproof security is to actively monitor infrastructure. With virtualization growing increasingly, virtual machine or VM performance monitoring is one of the most crucial parts of infrastructure monitoring. This is because as opposed to a physical server or machine, detecting problems in a VM can be even more challenging.

Paving The Road, From Code To Kubernetes With JFrog And Microsoft

The shift to modern application architectures, often based on microservices running in cloud infrastructures and built using DevOps and CI/CD principles, has been a game changer for how applications are developed. The shift, however, introduces some new complexities. JFrog and Microsoft have been on the forefront of this shift. We’ve heard about these new complexities from you on your development journey, and your need for a simple, cloud-native, Kubernetes enabled way to deliver better quality software faster.
