Building Better In The Cloud: Getting Serious About Optimizing Cloud Spend

In the beginning, companies and cloud cost management vendors focused on reducing the absolute cost of the cloud. That would be the equivalent of solely focusing on the total cost of a sales organization versus considering how much new revenue they were booking, or the productivity of the sales team or the cost of customer acquisition. As cloud spend followed its rapid growth trajectory, curbing it most often relied on discounts.

Preserve Stick Table Data When Reloading HAProxy

With HAProxy situated in front of their servers, many people leverage it as a frontline component for enabling extra security and observability for their networks. HAProxy provides a way to monitor the number of TCP connections, the rate of HTTP requests, the number of application errors and the like, which you can use to detect anomalous behavior, enforce rate limits, and catch application-related problems early.

DevOps Tools

A tool that aids in automating the software development process is called DevOps Tool. It largely concentrates on interaction and cooperation between experts in product management, software development, and operations. A DevOps solution also enables teams to automate the majority of software development procedures including build, conflict management, dependency management, deployment, etc. and lessens human labour.

What Is TBD? Trunk-Based Development & Its Role in CI/CD

In software development, the name of the game is to develop reliable systems in a fast-paced manner. As development shops have evolved to increase the speed of delivery, many organizations have embraced the Agile development practices of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). But the very nature of fast-paced development introduces challenges — particularly around the quality and the reliability of the software being developed.

Everything You Need to Know About Deployment Environments

It's common practice that development environments for the same product are kept the same (or at least compatible) for smooth software development life cycle (SDLC) workflow. That brings the question, why do we need more than one environment for the same product. In today’s modern software development, it is crucial for product development teams to maintain an effective and rapid workflow if they want to gain a competitive edge in the product market.

Introduction to Confidential Computing

Public clouds are great! Yet, many users are still reluctant towards moving their security-sensitive workloads away from their private data centers and into the public cloud, due to a set of security concerns. To address these challenges, what we need is a way to perform a privacy-preserving computation that can protect the confidentiality and integrity of your workload. Confidential computing achieves this by running your workload in a hardware-encrypted execution environment, that is isolated from the cloud provider’s privileged system software (e.g. hypervisor, host OS, and firmware), as well as its employees.
