Pulling Docker images from private registries for containerised applications presents a security challenge. It requires authentication management, network access, and trust across distributed systems. Credentials must be securely handled and rotated, and image pulls can break due to network restrictions or expired tokens. All of this makes deployment and security harder.

Explore how Docker and Cloudsmith help secure the software supply chain with SBOMs, signatures, provenance, and hardened images - enabling end-to-end visibility and trust without slowing development.

Join the live stream at 11 am ET, here. Launch Week’s Friday drop delivers two of the most-requested upgrades we’ve ever shipped: Together, they turn Bindplane into a cooler , and smarter , place to manage observability and SecOps telemetry. A full suite of extensive AI features will be rolling out over the coming weeks. This is just the beginning!

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, or CMMC for short, is a security framework for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems and organizations. The CMMC compliance requirements map to the set of controls laid out in the NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and NIST SP 800-172 families.

For anyone leveraging cloud computing, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) continues to provide a seamless solution for managing containerized applications. AWS Fargate takes this cloud-native architecture a step further by allowing you to run containers without servers or clusters. As a serverless offering for ECS, Fargate provisions compute capacity and scales it based on demand.

This discussion is a part of the Basic Series serving as the starting point to quickly get you started with VictoriaMetrics. vmagent is a lightweight metrics collection agent that acts as a bridge between your applications and monitoring storage systems like VictoriaMetrics.

In my previous blog post, I explained how to build lists using ipl-web widgets. That method will soon be deprecated due to its complexity. With the recent ipl-web release, we have introduced a simpler and more flexible approach to building lists, using a lightweight rendering interface and a single class, as described below.

In modern observability stacks, log collection is a critical component. Among the most widely adopted logs collector are Fluentd and Logstash. Both tools are designed to collect, process, and forward logs to various destinations like Elasticsearch, Kafka, and cloud services. However, the differences between FluentD and Logstash lie significantly in their design, performance, plugin ecosystems, and user experiences.
