Why Cross-Domain Topology Seems Too Good To Be True

There are some things in life that seem too good to be true. So good, in fact, that they border on the edge of mythology. We see this often in the case of Cross-Domain Topology. Cross-Domain Topology ties together all the pieces of a hybrid, dynamic IT environment, so you can instantly see how changes impact your environment. It’s something that a lot of people didn’t even think was a possibility. While unicorns are myths, Cross-Domain Topology is very real. Here’s how it works.

Faster and safer application deployments on Kubernetes with Shipa and Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE)

Shipa’s application management framework, integrated into OKE, provides an out-of-the-box way for organizations to build, deploy and operate the full life-cycle of Kubernetes applications. With Shipa and OKE, organizations can make up for lost time and start getting value out of Kubernetes immediately. In this webcast, you will learn how Shipa and OKE.

Multi-cloud development is accelerating adoption of Kubernetes

As cloud infrastructure grows and develops, reliable and safe management of containers across multiple cloud providers grows increasingly important - accelerating the adoption of Kubernetes (K8s). Orchestration technologies like Kubernetes (K8s) automate the deployment and scaling of containers, and they also ensure the reliability of applications and workloads running on containers.

The True Cost of Building your Own Incident Management System (IMS)

Is your organization on the lookout for an incident management tool? If yes, you may wonder- am I better off building my own? Our latest blog outlines some of the key factors to consider while choosing whether to build or buy an incident management software.

Infrastructure Monitoring Challenges and How to Tackle Them

IT structures across organizations are bound to get complicated one way or another. If you’ve been in business for at least a decade, chances are you’ve acquired a complex, layered system of technology that’s a hodge-podge of old and new. This complexity brings new challenges for infrastructure monitoring. It goes without saying that any enterprise needs effective IT infrastructure monitoring. But when technology is evolving at the pace it is, things can get difficult.

Building, Testing and Deploying AWS Lambda Functions in Ruby

For quick, scalable, highly-available web services, few options compare to AWS Lambda. Just provide your code, add a little configuration, and you're done! In this article, Milap Neupane will introduce us to Lambda, show us how to get it working with Ruby and the Serverless Framework, and discuss reasons to use — or to not use! — Lambda in production.

Building w/ Observability- Honeycomb & CircleCI

Do you know exactly what your builds are doing at every step of the way to prod and after they’ve been deployed? A key part of what lets you ship code to production often and quickly is having observability in your builds. Together, CircleCI and Honeycomb can help you get both speed and quality when shipping code to production. In this webinar, we’ll not only examine how CircleCI and Honeycomb work well together, we’ll also look at how Honeycomb used both products together to identify changes that impacted their build times and reduced them by 25%.
