The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
April was a month to remember at incident.io. Not only did we attend our second conference ever with KubeCon in Amsterdam, but we also very subtly released our brand-new Status Pages product. OK, it probably wasn't subtle. Both moments required months of preparation, feedback loops, iteration, and so much more behind-the-scenes work to get right. So if you ran into us at KubeCon, thank you for stopping by and meeting with our team.
The goal of capacity planning is to match resources with demand. There are essentially three outcomes from this analysis. You can underestimate the resources you need (underprovision), which can hurt performance. You can overestimate (overprovision), which adds unnecessary costs. Or you can get it just right (rightsized). And, of course, you want to be rightsized at the lowest possible cost. Because many factors go into cloud capacity planning, it can feel like more of an art than a science.
In the era of cloud-native development, as businesses rely on a growing number of software tools to enable agile application delivery, platform engineering has emerged as a crucial discipline for building the technology platforms that drive DevOps efficiency. In this blog post, we explain the growing importance of platform engineering in high-performance DevOps organizations and how platform teams enable DevOps efficiency, agility, and productivity.
Most SRE teams eventually reach a point in their existence where they appear unable to meet all the demands placed upon them. This is when these teams may need to scale. However, it's important to understand that increasing team capacity is not the same as increasing the number of people on the team. Let's unpack what scaling a team is all about, what are the indicators, what are steps you can take, and how you know if you're done.
Code review is not just a helpful practice for any software-related organization, it’s necessary. It is an essential component of the software development process that paves the path for developers to identify bugs and improve the overall quality of their end products. Code reviews are even more critical today given the popularity of remote work and distributed teams. GitKraken Client is a powerful tool that helps developers manage and review code.
GitKraken Client makes working with GitHub simple thanks to a great GitHub Integration. The GitHub integration allows you to sign in using GitHub, which will automatically connect the integration. Or you can manually connect the integration from Preferences > Integrations > GitHub. Once connected, you’ll be able to easily create repositories on GitHub, clone repositories from your GitHub account, work with pull requests, manage GitHub issues, and much more.
In April 2023, Amazon Web Services (AWS) released a new functionality that allows users running Ubuntu LTS to upgrade their instances to Ubuntu Pro with just a few clicks. This upgrade provides additional security features, including patching for universe packages, extended security management for an additional five years, live kernel patching, and access to FedRamp and FIPS modules.
Cloud CI/CD is a force multiplier for development teams, especially those working remotely. Automated CI/CD takes load off of developers, allowing them to focus on building better products. Hosted CI/CD adds further benefit to this, ensuring that this newfound capacity isn’t spent managing the testing and deployment infrastructure, and that remote team members have easy access to CI/CD tools.
In the modern business landscape, the recent surge in cloud computing has become a game-changer, fundamentally altering how organizations manage their IT infrastructure. As businesses increasingly embrace digital transformation, migrating services and applications to the cloud has emerged as a crucial factor in guaranteeing scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
Hello, and welcome to the April edition of the changelog. The weather is finally starting to stabilize and resembles one rather than all the seasons. Parks are full of colors and goslings, and at Kosli we’re as busy as ever, so let’s get right into it.
