In recent years, the pace of IT and network modernization fueled by digital transformation has only continued to accelerate. At the same time, cyber threats have continued to grow more frequent and sophisticated. Given these trends, the move to establish enhanced collaboration between network and security teams, an approach known as NetSecOps, has moved from a nice-to-have to a fundamental imperative.

Kosli allows regulated organizations to scale their continuous delivery so that they can deploy changes to production at maximum speed without the risk of non-compliance. It does this by recording all of the data you need to get through regulatory events like audits. With Kosli you can record everything that happens in your software delivery process from initial requirement all the way through to deployment to production. Events like builds, tests, scans, code reviews, etc.

In this second article of the “Practical Zephyr” series, we’ll explore the kernel configuration system Kconfig by looking at the printk logging option in Zephyr. We won’t explore the logging service as such in detail but instead use it as an excuse to dive deep into Kconfig. Finally, we’ll create our own little application-specific Kconfig configuration.

Having decided to embrace the opportunities of the cloud, be it a full migration, or developing a hybrid infrastructure, one of the first questions a business faces is how to transfer all its data into the cloud. This question will evolve rapidly, as the business realises that not only must it continually transfer new data to the cloud, but that the amount of data is going to grow massively.

The cost of services is on everybody’s mind right now, with interest rates rising, economic growth slowing, and organizational budgets increasingly feeling the pinch. But I hear a special edge in people’s voices when it comes to their observability bill, and I don’t think it’s just about the cost of goods sold.

In the rapidly evolving telecom sector, the concept of “cloudification” is not just a trend but a transformative shift, reshaping how services are delivered and managed. This change is underpinned by modern software architectures featuring modularity, microservices, and cloud-native designs. As we embrace this new era, marked by the rise of “netcos” and “servcos,” we must also navigate the complexities it brings.

The ability to extract meaningful insights from your wealth of organisational information is often the key differentiator between successful businesses and those struggling to stay competitive. Splunk, a renowned leader in the realm of data analytics and visualisation, has emerged as a powerful ally in this quest for actionable knowledge.

In the ever-evolving world of software development, one constant remains - the pursuit of better performance. As applications grow in complexity and demand, the need for tools to uncover performance bottlenecks becomes paramount. Flamegraphs, a brainchild of Brendan Gregg, has emerged as an important visualization of insight, showing those dark corners of your codebase that need optimization.

Anybody who monitors logs of any kinds, knows that the extracting useful information from the gigabytes of data being collected remains one of the biggest challenges. One of the more important metrics to keep an eye on are all sorts of logons that occur in your network – especially if they originate on the Internet – such as VPN logins.
