Ah, the romance of the railroad. Conductors shouting “all aboard”, watching the countryside whizz by, dining cars and sleeper cars, boxcars, the Orient Express, bullet trains, chasm-spanning bridges, the clickety clack of the rails, clang clang at the crossings, and the engineer waving from the caboose. As we near the two hundred year mark of the first passenger train in 1825, we can observe that railways, our oldest modern means of mass transportation, are as strong as ever.

“Automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.” – Bill Gates A network, as we all know, is the connection of multiple devices to share information between them. While it’s a major task to manually manage every device connected to a network, a software-based feature called network automation can be utilized to help overcome this challenge.

Brocade, a Broadcom Company, named 2/8/2022 as End-of-Support (EOS) for Brocade Network Advisor (BNA), the collection mechanism for Brocade fabrics. Broadcom recommends Brocade SANnav as a replacement for BNA. To continue providing industry-leading infrastructure intelligence, Galileo’s new v2 agent for Brocade will use the REST functionality to collect all the configuration and performance metrics required. Read on for all the details you need to know.

Many US military, government or critical national infrastructure organisation workloads that require FIPS compliance are also required to be deployed in air-gapped environments to provide an extra layer of protection.

Typically, Infrastructure-as-Code or IaCs have had their own languages to learn. For example, if leveraging Terraform most likely you came across Terraform’s native syntax, HCL. Though as software engineers we might be more familiar with other languages of choice. Using a general-purpose computer language vs a provider level syntax does unlock the power of the language; anything you can do in the computer language potentially can be additional methods, calls, etc.

In this article, we’ll deep dive into all the basics to help you decide if AWS RDS is the right decision for your architecture and help you hit the ground running if you do end up AWS RDS. For many decades now, relational databases (RDS) have been the place to store your data. They are pretty flexible often use some kind of SQL dialect, which is one of the main languages taught in computer science classes, and widely understood by the average developer.

Just like many other production DevOps engineering teams, our JFrog team deploys new version releases several times a day to AWS, Azure and GCP, across more than 20 cloud regions. This process used to take us many hours and could have even failed if it was done alongside maintenance by other teams.
