How to Reduce MTTR with PagerDuty and Relay

DevOps and SRE teams are under intense pressure to reduce the Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) in resolving incidents. With the proliferation of cloud services and the increasing complexity of DevOps toolchains, engineers today need to not only learn how to use these services but also troubleshoot them when an incident is raised at 2 AM. Incident response is still manual today – cobbling together runbooks and ad hoc scripts and orchestrating people to respond.

DevOps Automation Best Practices for Automotive Software Delivery

Some cars today boast more than 300M lines of code! Software has become a key differentiator and influencer on consumers’ buying decisions - with many choosing vehicles as much for their infotainment system and “all that tech” as for the horsepower. DevOps for software embedded in vehicles is not trivial. The automotive industry faces unique challenges when it comes to delivering software -- due to complex testing matrix and deployment processes, and its strict safety, regulation and compliance rules.

Automating incident response with Relay and PagerDuty

DevOps and SRE teams are under intense pressure to reduce the Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) in resolving incidents. The latest integration between Relay and PagerDuty eliminates the “digital duct tape” by creating reusable, event-driven workflows to close the loop on incidents faster through Relay’s event-based automation approach.

Integrating Ansible and Docker for a CI/CD Pipeline Using Jenkins

In this guide, we will use Ansible as a Deployment tool in a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment process using Jenkins Job. In the world of CI/CD process, Jenkins is a popular tool for provisioning development/production environments as well as application deployment through pipeline flow. Still, sometimes, it gets overwhelming to maintain the application's status, and script reusability becomes harder as the project grows.

The best of the PowerShell Gallery, right in your PE Console

PowerShell DSC might be the new kid on the block when it comes to configuration management, but it's certainly not lacking in power. DSC resources offer unprecedented hooks into the Windows operating system and provide straightforward configuration functionality that will make your Unix coworkers green with envy. It's a shame it's not easier to use….

We raised $1M pre-seed round to simplify application deployment in the Cloud

I am thrilled to announce that we have raised a $1M pre-seed round with top notch investors. Among them are top entrepreneurs and Cloud experts like Alexis Lê-Quôc, co-founder and CTO at Datadog, and Sebastien Pahl, Co-founder of Docker. Qovery will use the funds to strengthen its research and development team and extend their offer to technology companies in Europe and in the US.
