Deploying and monitoring performance for an entire Kubernetes cluster can be complex. To simplify the process, we’ve added service discovery functionality to eliminate complex configuration, in addition to more advanced monitoring for viewing activity inside containers. Service discovery identifies k8s pods running on a cluster and immediately starts monitoring system performance. All containers are identified, regardless of complexity.

It’s no secret that AWS Lambda adoption has grown steadily since AWS first released it in 2015—and for good reason. The benefits of adopting Lambda are many: leveraging Lambda eliminates the need to provision and manage servers, enabling teams to just focus on their code without the mental and operational overhead of worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

Large-scale cloud applications are usually built using interconnected services that can be rather hard to troubleshoot. When a service is scaled, simple logging doesn’t cut it anymore and a more in-depth view into system’s flow is required. That’s where distributed tracing comes into play; it allows developers and SREs to get a detailed view of a request as it travels through the system of services.

IT service management (ITSM) has evolved into a much broader discipline than just delivering IT services to the business. It’s grown beyond the IT department and become an integral part of how every employee in almost every business unit performs and completes tasks. In a recent webcast, SolarWinds Sr. Solutions Engineer Liz Beavers, ITSM experts Valence Howden and Julie Mohr, and HDI’s Group Principal Analyst Roy Atkinson paint a picture of what can be expected for the future of ITSM.

Since the inception of JFrog – with OSS Artifactory – we’ve been adamant that you simply cannot deliver software with any type of scale, speed, or reliability without a robust artifact management solution. Now, over a decade later, other vendors in the industry are finally starting to catch on. AWS recently announced its CodeArtifact service for binary management.

Here at Moogsoft, we take quality seriously and one of the most important goals for our test suites is to catch issues early on in the development process. A lot of our automated tests are integrated into our CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline as gates that can block a merge request with quality issues. Therefore, to ensure stable CI/CD pipelines as well as quick and quality releases to production, it is important to have tests that are stable and lightweight.

At Cloudsmith, we pride ourselves in being the central source of truth for your packages and build artifacts. We provide one global platform to centralize your assets and give you the control and visibility that you need as part of a modern DevOps process.
