One of the greatest challenges that operators and developers face is infrastructure provisioning: it should be resilient, reliable, reproducible and even audited. This is where Infrastructure as Code (IaC) comes in. In the last few years, we have seen many tools that tried to solve this problem, sometimes offered by the cloud providers (AWS CloudFormation) or vendor-agnostic solutions like Terraform and Pulumi.
Successful IT operations management (ITOM) of today’s complex enterprise infrastructure requires collecting a lot of data and making informed, automated decisions based on the insights contained in that data.
The CircleCI visual config editor (VCE) is now generally available as an open source project. Development teams can now create and modify CircleCI config files in a visual drag-and-drop, low-code environment. The VCE is a node-graph editor that you can use to modify CircleCI config elements and generate config files. It provides a frictionless way to build CI/CD pipelines and interact with CircleCI’s platform in an efficient, user-friendly visual interface.
While many people know us from our semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions, few have visibility into what goes on behind the scenes to support Broadcom’s global business. Within the Broadcom Software division, the Broadcom Global Technology Organization (GTO) is responsible for managing an extensive IT infrastructure, one that spans 18 data centers, 100 sites, and 400 R&D labs.
Ransomware is the gift that keeps on giving. Old as it is (33 years) ransomware is constantly morphing into new exploits. The reason is simple. Ransomware works and too often cybercriminals walk away with bags of money (or piles of Bitcoin, anyway). “Following the World Health Organization's AIDS conference in 1989, Joseph L. Popp, a Harvard-educated biologist, mailed 20,000 floppy disks to event attendees.
Dealing with an intermittent Internet connection is very frustrating. Does your Internet connection keep disconnecting and reconnecting when you’re watching your favourite Netflix show or chatting with your colleagues on Zoom? In this article, we’re teaching you how to troubleshoot intermittent Internet issues with Network Monitoring.
Kubernetes may provide an abundance of benefits, but those who are using it may be well aware that it often requires quite a bit (or even a lot!) of effort and skill to run the platform independently. So – rather than having to put up with it on their own, organizations are able to pay for a managed Kubernetes service instead. This is where Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) come in.
In 2018 we launched the Sentry Unity SDK, but at the time, we couldn’t crack how to display stack trace line numbers for C# exceptions with IL2CPP scripting backend. And until a recent release of Unity, we thought it wasn’t possible. But here at Sentry we often do the impossible… or at least the improbable. Like adding features to our JavaScript SDK while making it smaller at the same time.
“Why is it so bad right now? Why does it seem like we’re fighting this up-hill battle?” The internet, it seems, is having a mid-life crisis. As industries progress through their life cycle, they are expected to reach a quasi-steady state of maturity, but the internet hasn’t gotten that message. In fact, it seems to be stuck in the growth phase, expanding exponentially with no end in sight, and securing it just feels so hard. Let’s dive into my Black Hat recap.
