Deploying Mattermost and Kubeflow on Kubernetes with Juju 2.9
Since 2009, Juju has been enabling administrators to seamlessly deploy, integrate and operate complex applications across multiple cloud platforms. Juju has evolved significantly over time, but a testament to its original design is the fact that the approach Juju takes to operating workloads hasn’t fundamentally changed; Juju still provides fine grained control over workloads by placing operators right next to applications on any platform.
A Day in the Life: James the IT Ops Guy Learns How to Connect All that Data
“Morning, mate,” I greeted Dinesh as he walked into the office. “Nice get up for the big day!” He was wearing a pressed shirt, rather than his usual hoodie. “Thought I’d make an effort, you know,” he grinned. We’d been planning intensely for this moment for the last week or so – our meeting with Charlie, the CIO, to present the results of our Moogsoft experiments and ask for permission to extend the rollout across the enterprise.
The true cost of IT Ops, the added value of AIOps
Today’s IT landscape is complex, hybrid, and fast-moving, and the adoption of multi-cloud infrastructure, applications, and new digital transformation initiatives is accelerating. IT operations teams, playing a vital role in enabling the delivery of uninterrupted services and creating business value for enterprises, are finding they need to constantly grow their resources to manage all the moving pieces in their IT stack. This can get expensive … but how much are they spending?
Cloud 66 Feature Highlight: Delete Protection
What is Delete Protection? This feature stops specific servers from being accidentally deleted from your account. Delete Protection helps developers to prevent applications from going down and gives more control over your server mix. This includes avoiding deletion of core servers when scaling down via the API, and safeguarding servers with intentionally unique configurations ("snowflakes").
The 7 Hues of DevOps
Purple teams. Blue, green, red, back, canary deploys. Golden signals and red metrics. There are oddly a lot of color adjectives used in DevOps terminology, and Dave and Chris cover them all in this episode. They will talk about the range of deployment strategies for modern applications. The various types of metrics used to monitor them, and the different approaches to understanding how much visibility is good enough.
Full-stack monitoring for code-to-cloud visibility
Engineering teams are very used to talking about their tech stack as the technologies and tools used to build their application. Monitoring also has a stack, and full-stack monitoring is when you align each layer of your tech stack with a monitoring practice and weave a thread from every layer. True code-to-cloud visibility is only accomplished with full-stack monitoring, and necessary for long-term DevOps success.
Ruby on Rails Development Setup for Beginners
Today we will install Ruby on Rails (RoR) on a Debian Linux operating system (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). With that said, RoR is compatible with other operating systems with just a few tweaks. This blog will assist you in installing RoR with a simple step-by-step process. Your installation may differ, for other operating systems refer to this site. I am new to developing and have been using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, a flavor of Debian Linux, for my projects.
The future of testing with Launchable
Do we really need to run all the tests every time we make a change to the source code or make a release? That could take minutes or even hours. Wouldn't it be better to run only the tests related to the changes we are making or the phase of the lifecycle of an application? Is the future of testing in AI and ML? Kohsuke Kawaguchi from Launchable might have the answers to those and quite a few other questions.
Introducing all new Serverless360 in preview
Towards the end of 2016, it all started with developing a simple platform to manage Microsoft Azure Service Bus namespaces. The then classic Azure portal had limited capabilities to manage Azure Messaging resources like Service Bus Queues and Topics. Paolo Salvatori developed and managed a community tool called Service Bus Explorer. We identified that there are some challenges or limitations in managing and monitoring Azure Messaging resources using the above two.
