With only 49 days before this very long year comes to an end, we’re thrilled to announce the 2020 State of DevOps Report is finally here. We’re in our ninth year producing the State of DevOps Report; at this point, more than 35,000 technical professionals from around the world have contributed to this body of research, the longest-running and most widely referenced DevOps research in the industry.

In this blog, we will go through an example of how you can use the Cloudsmith Terraform Provider to provision resources in Cloudsmith, such as repositories and entitlement tokens. HashiCorp Terraform is an awesome Continuous Configuration Automation tool. It is used to provision, update and manage infrastructure resources such as Cloud instances, containers, physical machines and more. It is a firm favourite among developers, due to its brilliant community and mix of power and simplicity.

San Jose, CA, November 11, 2020 – A vast majority (84%) of companies considered “digital leaders” by IDC, a leading provider of global IT research and advice, are turning to a hybrid cloud approach as they adopt public cloud services to improve IT service delivery.

A few years ago, we realized that spending in our AWS product test environment had jumped significantly from one month to the next. We drilled down into the issue and traced it to some RDS database instances that had been spun up to test new product features. No one realized that these expensive instances were left running after the tests were complete, and subsequently racking up charges for several months.

By design and tradition, telecoms networks are built to last. But in a world where the rate of innovation seems to be accelerating, the end result is that a lot of legacy infrastructure needs to keep pace with, and accommodate, multiple ‘next generation’ phases. How long this can be maintained before the imperative to rip and replace becomes impossible to ignore is the multi-million-dollar question.

We created the Fleet Project to provide centralized GitOps-style management of a large number of Kubernetes clusters. A key design goal of Fleet is to be able to manage 1 million geographically distributed clusters. When we architected Fleet, we wanted to use a standard Kubernetes controller architecture. This meant in order to scale, we needed to prove we could scale Kubernetes much farther than we ever had.

Modern applications are changing, and traditional testing practices are no longer up to the task. Learn more about the changing landscape of QA and how Chaos Engineering provides the necessary framework for testing modern applications. Chaos and Reliability Engineering techniques are quickly gaining traction as essential disciplines to building reliable applications. Many organizations have embraced Chaos Engineering over the last few years.
