AWS CloudFormation provides an easy way to model and set up AWS resources to help you save time in deploying the stack you need to run your applications. Today, AWS announced the launch of AWS CloudFormation Public Registry. CloudFormation Public Registry is a searchable collection of extensions that allows you to easily discover, provision, and manage resource types and modules published and maintained by AWS Partner Network (APN) partners like Sysdig.

Get started with Gremlin's Chaos Engineering tools to safely, securely, and simply inject failure into your systems to find weaknesses before they cause customer-facing issues. We’re excited to announce that Gremlin is available on AWS CloudFormation Public Registry.

In this blog post, I would like to discuss achieving end-to-end correlation across Logic Apps, a need to have a solution while dealing with an Enterprise application involving multiple Logic Apps. Let us understand the concept with the help of a real-time scenario.

A routine cloud operations task should have a routine solution. That’s why we’ve just made it a lot easier to install and maintain self-hosted instances of the JFrog DevOps Platform on AWS, through AWS CloudFormation. To further simplify the effort of self-hosting Artifactory and Xray on AWS, we’ve just published a set of AWS CloudFormation modules to the AWS CloudFormation Public Registry.

At Moogsoft we use Jenkins to implement our CICD Pipelines. We run Jenkins where we run most everything else; Kubernetes, but you don’t need to have Jenkins running on Kubernetes to use this plugin. This is made possible by the community maintained Kubernetes plugin. Recently we had the need to not only run agents local to the same cluster that Jenkins runs in, but in other clusters across different regions.

In our first post we went over setting up the Kubernetes Plugin. This described the basic setup of getting the plugin configured, and set with the proper perms to function. In this post we will go over how to leverage the plugin to generate agent pods. At Moogsoft most of our pipelines are scripted and are built inside of, or from parts of, Jenkins shared functions library we maintain.

AWS CloudFormation Modules, now available for public use through the AWS CloudFormation Public Registry, are a huge step forward for enterprise IT teams to create large manageable Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices around CloudFormation. We’re excited to support the launch today with our own Bastion module. Unsure what Modules are? Read on.
