While trying to verify the claims made on a somewhat facile rundown of serverless security threats, I ran across Jeremy Daly’s excellent writeup of a single vulnerability type in serverless, itself inspired by a fantastic talk from Ory Segal on vulnerabilities in serverless apps. At first I wanted to describe how injection attacks can happen. But the fact is, the two resources I just shared serve as amazing documentation; Ory found examples of these vulnerabilities in active GitHub repos!

More than 20,000 environments have chosen Rancher as the solution to make the Kubernetes adventure painless in as many ways as possible. More than 200 businesses across finance, health care, military, government, retail, manufacturing, and entertainment verticals have recognized that Rancher simply works better than other solutions.

Automating your deployment process is a critical step towards adopting continuous delivery. For teams that use Bitbucket for hosting their source code, Bitbucket Pipelines provide an easy way to automatically build and deploy when changes are made in your origin repository. The Rollbar team is excited to participate in the launch of Bitbucket Pipes, which make it even easier to configure your pipeline.

Kubernetes is quickly becoming the de facto way to deploy workloads on distributed systems. In this post, I will help you develop a deeper understanding of Kubernetes by revealing some of the principles underpinning its design.

Today Rancher Labs is announcing a new open source project, k3s, which is a lightweight, easy to install Kubernetes distribution geared towards resource-constrained environments and low touch operations. Some use cases in which k3s really shines are edge, ARM, IoT, and CI. The work for k3s started as a component of Rio, an experimental project we started last year.

Recently, I sat down with Ana Medina of Gremlin for a PagerDuty Community AMA! Ana is currently working as a Chaos Engineer at Gremlin, helping companies avoid outages by running proactive chaos engineering experiments. Previously, she worked at Uber as an engineer on the SRE and Infrastructure teams, where she specifically focused on chaos engineering and cloud computing. Catch her tweeting at @Ana_M_Medina about traveling, diversity in tech, and mental health.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce our new free tier and pricing model for teams adopting modern serverless application development. I believe cloud-side development is the future and I want everyone to experience it at their own pace. We also now offer a model that can scale with either teams or workflows depending on how aggressively you decide to adopt cloud-side development.

Peanut butter and jelly, donuts and coffee, Wendy’s Frosties and french fries — these combinations just work. We don’t ask why; we accept nature’s gift and enjoy. We hope you also accept and enjoy our gift of another great pair: Sentry and GitLab. In fact, Sentry and GitLab already go together so well that users who have installed this integration successfully resolve issues triaged in-platform 73% of the time.

On LinkedIn, there are more than thirty thousand U.S.-based DevOps positions. That number may not be as high as it is for software developers, but it’s still higher than sysadmins or systems engineers. Maybe this demand has you interested in switching career paths, or maybe you want to change jobs. If that’s the case, you’re in luck. Today’s post will present some common interview questions that you’ll probably get when interviewing for a DevOps position.
