A Few Minutes More: Add Xray DevSecOps to Artifactory Enterprise on Azure

In a prior blog post, we explained how to install or update Artifactory through the Azure Marketplace in the amount of time it takes for your coffee order to arrive on the counter. Now you can add to your self-managed (BYOL) Artifactory deployment Xray, the cream of software component analysis (SCA) tools, through the Azure Marketplace as well.

Lift the Haze of the Cloud With These 6 Considerations

Gartner says when COVID-19 hit the United States in March, 88% of businesses mandated or strongly encouraged employees to work from home. Sales, marketing, human resources, and most other business operations were all conducted from somewhere outside of the office. This drastic move required IT to accommodate employees in an entirely new way than what they had become accustomed to.

Scaling CD Platforms in the Enterprise Through Self-Service

The concept of Continuous Delivery (CD) has been around for over a decade. Early adopters of CD have reaped the benefits of reduced cycle times coupled with greater stability and reliability. Yet CD is far from a “solved problem” with many organizations struggling to implement CD at scale (or at all!) due to organizational, process and technology challenges.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Monitoring

In order to communicate, web pages, devices and applications need a common naming system which allows them to identify each other and send information. This is particularly important when the communication takes place over the Internet because of the large number of services and websites that need to be identified. This is why the Domain Name System (DNS) is so important for businesses. It matches website pages and devices to an IP address that can be traced by other devices.

Lead Times and Psychological Safety within the Five Ideals - Gene Kim

The biggest challenges engineering organizations face are not technical. They’re fundamental problems with how we think and go about doing work, and the environments that we work in. In this talk, Gene Kim will share the Five Ideals and how they relate to Chaos Engineering. He’ll also show how the Five Ideals help build stronger, better performing, and ultimately more reliable companies.

Looking back on Chaos Conf 2020

It’s already been a week since we closed our third annual Chaos Conf! While we were forced to take the conference online, this meant that more of you could join us. Over 3,500 people signed up to help make this the world’s largest Chaos Engineering conference. That’s 5x more than 2019, and nearly 10x more than 2018! This is a testament to the growth of Chaos Engineering as a practice across many different industries and around the world.

Identifying Hidden Dependencies - Liz Fong Jones

You don't need to write automation or deploy on Kubernetes to gain benefits from resilience engineering! Learn how Honeycomb improved the reliability of our Zookeeper, Kafka, and stateful storage systems through terminating nodes on purpose. We'll discuss the initial manual experiments we ran, the bugs in our automatic replacement tools we uncovered, and what steps we needed to progress towards continuously running the experiments. Today, no node at Honeycomb lives longer than 12 months, and we automatically recycle nodes every week.

Chaos Engineering: The Path to Reliability - Kolton Andrus

We’re all here for the same purpose: to ensure the systems we build operate reliably. This is a difficult task, one that must balance people, process and technology during difficult conditions. We operate with incomplete information, assessing risks and dealing with emerging issues. We’ve found Chaos Engineering to be a valuable tool in addressing these concerns. Learn from real world examples what works, what doesn’t, and what the future holds.
