The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
Today we’re excited to make three major announcements. First, we’re making it easier to adopt the very popular Codefresh GitOps CD with a fully SaaS offering that is hosted and managed by Codefresh. We’ve heard from many in the community that they’d like to get away from managing Argo CD and focus just on deploying and managing their applications. Hosted GitOps CD makes it easier than ever to adopt GitOps, just create an account, connect your target clusters, and deploy.
Released today, data from more than 1,300 global respondents combines with expert analysis to reveal goals, benefits, and challenges of cloud-native technology in 2022 16 May 2022 – Canonical, the maker of Ubuntu, today released data from a new global survey revealing the goals, benefits, and challenges of cloud-native technologies.
“Cloud native” – working in distributed systems using microservices and DevOps – has promised a lot, and indeed delivered a lot. Among the biggest benefits, in a cloud-native distributed architecture it’s easier and more cost-effective to scale parts of an application. When one part fails, it is less likely to impact other services and the services can still communicate with each other.
Starting small and scaling your systems to serve billions of requests per month is never an easy path, so how do you build an infrastructure whilst making the right decisions and compromises for your services? Choosing the right technology stack and ensuring your CI/CD pipeline is reliable are two key steps towards this which we will explore.
Resilience is the capability to recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. It is not about preventing failures, but being able to recover from them quickly. As Amazon’s CTO Werner Vogels famously said ‘everything fails all the time’. It’s a fact of life that failures will inevitably happen but what we can do is build applications that can withstand different kinds of failures. For example, in a data center, hardware is going to fail all the time.
