Avoid kubernetes security risks with hardening best practices

Hardening a system is synonymous with reducing its attack surface: remove unnecessary software packages, lock down default values to the tightest possible settings and configure the system to only run what you explicitly require. Why would you want to harden your infrastructure and systems to start with? Isn’t Linux secure enough already? A fully secure system is made up of many layers, from the hardware to the operating system and the application servers running your mission-critical code.

Avoid Downtime with Azure VM Disk Space Alerts: Best Practices

The emergence of cloud computing has led to the rise of independently deployable components that increase the availability of the application. As many organizations move their infrastructure to the cloud, it becomes essential for them to have an Azure VM monitoring tool to process, store, scale, and maintain their applications.

Platform Engineering Is the Future of Ops

Ops and DevOps roles as we know them are on their way to becoming extinct—the future is platform engineering. While DevOps engineers typically focus on the application layer, platform engineers focus on the underlying infrastructure layer. Without a solid and reliable platform, it can be challenging to deploy and maintain software applications effectively. This can result in downtime, poor performance, and security vulnerabilities. Platform engineering enables software applications and services to run effectively and efficiently and has a direct impact on the user experience and the success of the entire organization.

The security challenge facing global IoT projects

Internet of Things (IoT) deployments continue to expand globally, revolutionising the way businesses operate by boosting efficiency and enhancing experiences for customers and employees. But as is the case with many innovations, growth has outpaced security considerations resulting in unforeseen problems emerging as bad actors seek to exploit new vulnerabilities.

5 Tips For Managing A Successful Devops Team

DevOps, as a combination of development and operations, is the process by which companies build and manage software and deliver it to customers. A good DevOps strategy unites team members around shared goals and gives them the support and tools they need to complete the job well.
