And rightly so, organizations must have a conversation around their ongoing AppSec practices and how to improve their security posture further. Need for a strong AppSec posture According to this report by […] Vardhan NS March 19, 2024 Share OpsMx Updates Case Studies Spinnaker Argo CI/CD DevOps Security Flux 3 Dilemmas DevOps Managers Face When Scaling Continuous Delivery Pipelines Over the last five years, innovation has been accelerating in Continuous Delivery. For example, Kubernetes is becoming the platform of choice for managing containers, and practices like progressive delivery and GitOps are becoming mainstream. This transformation has been fueled by community platforms such as Jenkins, Argo, and Spinnaker. However, as IT organizations scale their Continous […] Vardhan NS August 24, 2022 Share Progressive Deployment Strategies using Argo Rollout Argo Rollouts solve a prevalent risk management problem in deploying to production environments in rolling out new changes by controlling blast radius and automated recovery with rollback on failure. Argo rollouts support multiple strategies for progressive deployment; we will discuss configurations and factors to consider one strategy over the other in this blog. What is […] Gopinath Rebala August 22, 2022 Share How to Setup LDAP and OpenLDAP for ArgoCD Argo CD is a widely used delivery tool for Kubernetes. It uses declarative, GitOps-style workflow management. DevOps managers can safely deploy apps into production using progressive delivery such as canary and blue-green. Argo CD is Kubernetes-native and works with almost all source code management tools like Git, ButBucket, etc. But since it is open-source, the SecOps […] Srinivas K August 22, 2022 Share 3 Best Practices for Securing and Hardening Open Source Spinnaker What is driving the need for a secured and hardened OSS? Most organizations are adopting open-source software. But like other software, open source software (OSS) also comes with challenges. For instance, without a proper maintenance and security plan, any open source software is bound to become a liability. Still, organizations fail to address the gaps […] Vardhan NS August 12, 2022 Share How to Ship Better Software Faster using OpsMx and AppDynamics Introduction Most software organizations run CI/CD pipelines to deploy updates from development to production. This CI/CD process is a complex set of interconnected steps that deploy software to the target platforms. Each application typically generates a large amount of performance data through log entries during testing. On a human level, this data is complex, unstructured, […] Shashank Srivastava August 4, 2022 Share Introduction to Site Reliability Engineering Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is becoming a common term in software and Internet industries. Google Vice President of Engineering Ben Treynor Sloss, who coined the term, explained that “SRE is what happens when you ask a software engineer to design an operations team.” Since then, SRE has become a core component of the IT strategies […] Shashank Srivastava July 29, 2022 Share 3 Options for Managing and Maintaining Spinnaker Open source software is mainstream. Most businesses today have either already adopted open-source software or are thinking to adopt one. In fact, a survey found that “89% of businesses run open-source software internally, while 65% contribute to open-source software projects.“ Spinnaker is a widely deployed open-source Continuous Delivery (CD) platform adopted by thousands of enterprises. It was […] Vardhan NS July 27, 2022 Share Automating Verification of Spinnaker Deployments with OpsMx Introduction DevOps methodologies have evolved over the years. And so have the deployments. Today, as businesses are increasingly transitioning to multi-cloud or cloud-first strategies, deployments are far more automated as well as complex than they used to be a decade ago. Additionally, the increasing demand for microservices requires businesses to use tools like Kubernetes. This […] Vardhan NS July 19, 2022 Share What is Chaos Engineering? Introduction The world of server infrastructure has become complex. Microservices and distributed cloud architectures have contributed to this complexity. With the rise in complexity, so has risen the number of failures. And operating in such complex environments is challenging. Production failures impact both businesses and customers. Modern organizations have implemented SRE to ensure these outages […] Shashank Srivastava July 14, 2022 Share Self Tuning – Part 3. Using Prometheus metrics to patch the Kubernetes resource limits/requests In Part 1 of this blog series, I explained how to automate increasing the limits/requests for a pod’s memory/cpu using the ‘webhook alerts’ feature of alert manager and ‘webhook triggered pipelines’ of spinnaker. In Part 2, we explained how to use verticalpodautoscaler (VPA) to get the recommendations for pod memory and CPU requests as well as limits.
