Earlier this year, when Codefresh announced the first course in our GitOps for Argo certification program – GitOps Fundamentals – we had high hopes that the course would satisfy the community’s pent-up demand for practical GitOps knowledge. To meet this demand, we designed a course that features lab environments to dramatically improve the learning experience. Each student gets a lab environment pre-configured with everything they need to learn GitOps using Argo CD.

Dashboards are not just tools for businesses and other organizations to monitor and respond to their data, but can be a method of storytelling. All of our data has the potential to be crafted into compelling narratives, which can easily be accomplished with the help of Dashboard Studio’s customizable formats and advanced visualization tools. We can take a series of disparate datasets and bring them together in one place if they share a common theme — in this case, Halloween.

OTA is a term commonly used when working with any type of device. Simply, the abbreviation OTA means ‘over-the-air’, and refers to the distribution of information wirelessly. In the context of IoT, you will often hear it used in combination with “updates”. Let’s explore in more detail what OTA is.

Today, I am happy to see the public release of Helm-Dashboard, Komodor’s second open-source project, after ValidKube, and my first since joining the team as Head of Open Source. It’s a compelling challenge to try and solve the pain points of Helm users, but more than anything it’s a labor of love. So it is with love that we’re now sharing this project with the community, and I’m excited to imagine where it will go from here.

We’ve reached the point where our ability to collect data has actually exceeded our ability to process it. Nowadays, it’s commonplace for organizations to have terabytes or even petabytes worth of data sitting in storage, waiting patiently for well-intentioned systems admins to eventually analyze it.

The #1 KPI is not how fast a developer codes, but rather how long it takes from the time a developer starts to work on a new feature till it gets to production. In this blog I’d like to describe a few concepts and present a real life example, where we utilized a chain of open source tools to automate the entire software development process, from code to production.

OpenTelemetry (OTel), an open source project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), is a collection of tools, APIs and SDKs for generating and collecting observability data (mainly trace, metrics and logs) from cloud-native applications. An industry-standard for distributed tracing and observability, OTel enables analyzing application health and performance to ensure production-readiness and support production monitoring.

Modern data centers are complex environments that often contain many thousands of individual cabling and port components. When the physical connectivity infrastructure is not properly organized, tracked, and managed, you can quickly run into serious problems.
