The Good And Bad Of ‘Zero-Touch’ Cloud Operations

We’re getting closer to true zero-touch cloud operations, or so we keep hearing. Take a clear-eyed look at the advantages and disadvantages before jumping in. Zero-touch cloud operations is the concept of automating cloud operations (cloudops) processes to minimize the need for human intervention. Specifically, it involves automating the deployment, configuration, scaling, monitoring, and resolution of issues on all cloud platforms (public and private), and even extends to traditional legacy systems and edge computing systems as well. Physically, it is a layer of technology running above the cloud providers (e.g., a metacloud). It can be anything that’s able to automate cloudops,…

Are Your CICD And DevOps Tools Really Helping Developers?

If you are responsible for your team’s CICD and DevOps tools, have you ever asked yourself if the tools you built are really making developers’ lives easier? Or are they there just to reinforce the rules you’ve set? It’s your responsibility to make sure the tools and procedures you’ve implemented are truly helping software developers do their job. After setting your CICD tools, how frequently have you asked the developers for feedback? How many times have you changed/updated those based on feedback from the developers? Or are all your changes to support new requirements, infrastructure, and analysis tools? You might…

How Multicloud Changes DevOps

More clouds, more complexity, more challenges. Now’s the time to prepare for the impact multicloud will have on your devops teams. Devops or devsecops (I’ll use devops for this post) is more than just a fast way to build and deploy software within the cloud and on traditional systems. It’s now a solid standard, with best practices, processes, and widely accepted tools. However, as multicloud becomes the new path to cloud computing, I’m asked how it will impact existing devops programs. Specifically, how development may change and what problems need to be addressed before and after moving to devops to…

A DevOps Reset For A Multi-Cloud World

In the world of DevOps, only two things really matter: To release applications and updates as quickly as possible To have access to resources (processing, storage, networks) able to run those apps, as cost-effectively as possible. The measures used to achieve these twin goals should work together seamlessly–otherwise, you’re inefficient. But software development and IT operations have been on separate journeys, and it now takes layers of tools, specialized expertise and lots of precious time to distribute and manage applications where they need to run. Organizations tolerate all this complexity (and the delays and costs that come with it) since…

A Better Way To Pass Technical Interviews

To LeetCode or not to LeetCode? What if you don’t want to practice 100s of coding questions before your next coding interview? There is a part of me that dislikes coding interviews, primarily because it requires me to spend a lot of time preparing for coding questions. Moreover, during an interview, I have to present a reasonable (if not optimal) solution to someone who is evaluating me, something I don’t have to deal with in my everyday life as a software engineer. Having said that, I do love algorithms and solving coding problems. It is a fun activity for me,…

Learn Git: 3 Commands To Level Up Your Skill

Learn how to use git squash, git rebase, and git cherry-pick. When I talk to people about Git, almost everyone has a strong reaction to the git rebase command. This command has caused many people to change directory, remove the repository, and just re-clone to start over. I think this comes from misconceptions about how branching actually works, a pretty terrible default interface, and some merge conflicts mucking things up. Git squash If you’ve ever made a lot of commits locally and wish there was a way to smash them all down into a single commit, you’re in luck. Git calls this concept…

VMware Application Catalog Now Supports Red Hat Universal Base Images

VMware Application Catalog (formerly Tanzu Application Catalog) is a catalog of trusted, continuously updated, scanned, and verified open source images, custom-built to enterprise specifications, and privately delivered directly to a customer’s registry of choice. Its aim is to make the lives of developers and operators easier by enabling them to focus on innovation, while taking care of all tedious Day 0 tasks involved in working with open source software (OSS) applications. We have always remained committed to maintaining the VMware Application Catalog as a truly platform-agnostic offering by being a product that can augment developers’ capabilities, rather than trying to force-fit…

How To Validate Kubernetes YAML Files

Kubernetes has taken center stage in how we now manage our containerized applications. As a result, many conventions to define our Kubernetes apps exist, including structures such as YAML, JSON, INI, and more. This leaves us to consider what is the best strategy to follow for our applications. Additionally, we must then also ask how we can validate our application configurations depending on the path we’ve chosen in terms of file structure and especially security. In this piece, we will explore defining Kubernetes applications using YAML configs and the various steps we can take to effectively validate these config definitions.…

Accelerating App Development Lifecycle With Managed Container Platforms, Firebase And CI/CD

We understand that for startups in the build phase, the highest priority task is to continuously ship features based on your users’ needs. There are three main focus areas when building applications: Development: When it comes to development, focus on tasks that make your app unique by offloading backend setup and processing to someone else. For example, instead of setting up your own API servers and managing backend services, Firebase offers a managed experience. Hosting: Once you’ve built your app, the next step is to host it. Containers have become the de facto way of packaging applications today. You can…
