Like most things, our AI Assistant started out as an idea. One of our data scientists, Ed, was working with our customers to improve our existing insights. But the most common theme that kept surfacing was the wide-range of use cases that our customers wanted to use insights for. Using this user feedback as our inspiration, we came up with the idea of a natural language assistant that you can use to explore your incident data.

Here we are getting started with GIT. We will begin by explaining some background on version control, then move on to how to work on Git on your system and finally how to set up to start working with GIT. By the end you should understand why Git is important for DevOps engineers, and why you should use it.

Many cloud storage providers continue to offer us a secure method to store, share, and sync our files. Not all cloud services, however, offer the same features to secure our data, collaborate with others, or provide a service that emphasizes privacy. If you want to switch from popular cloud providers, namely, Google Drive or iCloud, then you may have considered Tresorit cloud storage.

The world of enterprise software, SaaS, and cloud platforms has gone through a Cambrian explosion in the last half-decade, as the number of solutions available nearly doubles every two to three years. Meanwhile, the locus for decision-making has been pushed deeper into the organization, and the number of constituents impacted by each decision has also increased when choosing the right software vendor for the use case.

Your networks are the highways that enable data transfers and cloud-based collaboration. Like highways connect people to physical locations, networks connect people to applications and databases. As you would look up the fastest route between two physical locations, your workforce members need the fastest connectivity between two digital locations. Network load balancers enable you to prevent and identify digital “traffic jams” by redistributing incoming network requests across your servers.

The Elastic APM K8s Attacher lets the Elastic APM agent auto-attach to the application in your pods by adding just one annotation to your deployment The Elastic® APM K8s Attacher allows auto-installation of Elastic APM application agents (e.g., the Elastic APM Java agent) into applications running in your Kubernetes clusters. The mechanism uses a mutating webhook, which is a standard Kubernetes component, but you don’t need to know all the details to use the Attacher.

A new year has started and some of the major IaaS providers are making major changes early on. AWS and GCP have both announced major changes that might be a signal for what's to come this year.

The DevOps Change Management Content Hub is a set of resources for modern software teams who struggle to align their DevOps automation with their change management requirements. In our experience, cloud native teams with lots of automation struggle when they run into a compliance event like an audit, or need to achieve a security standard like SOC2 or ISO27001. How do you comply without adopting old fashioned change management practices and screwing up your DevOps?
