Kubernetes namespaces enable you to organize cluster objects, such as applications, devices and variables. Once you define namespaces, you can use this classification to filter, group and manage objects. You can use the same namespaces in duplicated environments and apply policies to specific clusters segments. Kubernetes namespaces are also important for defining roles and ensuring proper access configuration. If you're monitoring Kubernetes, you should try out MetricFire.

With AWS’s announcement that macOS instances are available on Amazon EC2, iOS, macOS, and Safari developers now have the opportunity to move their build and test pipelines to the cloud and take advantage of all that the AWS ecosystem has to offer.

Five worthy reads is a regular column on five noteworthy items we’ve discovered while researching trending and timeless topics. In this edition, we’ll learn about hyperscale data centers, including how they function, and the considerations and challenges organization face in deploying them.

It was over a month ago that I promised we would tie together Splunk Security Content and the Splunk Attack Range to automatically test detections. Ultimately, using these projects together in a Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflow with CircleCI brings the rigors of software development to the SOC and truly treats 🛡detection as code. Well, I want to share how we have failed at achieving this goal.

Across the IT community, there is a buzz around the SaaSOps movement, and it has been consistently gaining momentum. As David Politis of BetterCloud describes it: “SaaSOps is a practice referring to how Software as a Service (SaaS) applications are managed and secured through centralized and automated operations (Ops), resulting in reduced friction, improved collaboration, and better employee experience”.

In the context of businesses, the ultimate goal of innovation for technology companies is to drive a profit. This means that even though many software engineering problems can be solved with enough time and budget — just because a business can solve a problem doesn’t mean that they should. Sometimes, even once a team has figured out how to solve an engineering problem, it doesn’t make sense to deploy the solution — because it costs so much to operate.
