7-Step Cloud Transformation Roadmap

Before we can talk about the nuts and bolts of cloud transformation, it’s important to make the distinction from digital transformation.

Dynamic SSL Certificate Storage in HAProxy

Use the HAProxy Runtime API to update SSL certificates in HAProxy without a reload. When you route traffic through an HAProxy load balancer, you gain the ability to terminate SSL at the load balancer.

The time frame may vary; with monitoring, you might jump on an alert right away, as opposed to the compliance team’s quarterly audit, but the foundation remains the same. As our development cycles grow ever more dynamic, the need for automating repetitive tasks becomes all the more important.
