Accelerating delivery: why CI/CD is important for your company

Every stage of the software development life cycle is important in its own way. However, we all know that it is when the code goes into a production environment that the price of an error becomes especially high. It doesn’t matter if it is the first release of your software or a new build with important updates, a serious bug can cost your company and your customers a lot of money. The solution for this might seem obvious: just carry out more thorough testing. But the longer you spend on testing, the more your customers will have to wait.

Leveraging OPA and Rego to Automate Compliance in a CI/CD Pipeline

In today's fast-paced software development world, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are critical for organizations to deliver high-quality software efficiently. However, ensuring compliance with security and regulatory policies can be a challenging and time-consuming process. Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Rego, a declarative language for policy enforcement, offer a solution to this problem. By leveraging OPA and Rego together, organizations can automate compliance checks within their CI/CD pipelines, reducing the burden on developers and increasing the efficiency of the development process.

How to avoid code duplication in Jenkinsfiles?

When you work with Jenkins pipelines it is pretty common that you create a pipeline and then after some time you need a similar pipeline with just a few small changes. Common practice in this case is to just copy the Jenkinsfile from the first job and make these small changes. But adopting this approach leaves a lot of code duplication in the two Jenkinsfiles. And since a Jenkinsfile is pipeline as code it should follow the same good practices as other pieces of code. And code repetition is not good practice.

Zero-Touch Provisioning: ZTP guide and example usages

There are countless situations in which a network, be it a service provider, data center, or evenenterprise infrastructure, grows so large that the ability to onboard new devices to that network becomes a huge burden for the network operations team. As time passes, various solutions have been implemented by network and DevOps engineers to mitigate this issue based on open-source and vendor-specific solutions: in-house developed Python/Bash scripts, Ansible playbooks, vendor-specific network orchestrators, etc.

7 benefits of DevOps that will impact your business

In the traditional software development life cycle, there were separate teams dedicated to fulfilling specific tasks, like coding, testing, and deploying the final build in the production environment. These teams’ priorities often clashed with each other. Developers wanted to finish writing the code as fast as possible, so that the customers could access new features. However, the IT operations team, responsible for running the production site, was primarily focused on implementing the new changes safely and responsibly, which could be quite time-consuming.

CloudOps — what do you need to know about cloud operations?

Modern businesses often scale quickly and therefore require expanded data center resources. Or more simply, they do not want to invest a huge amount of capex in expensive hardware in advance - they prefer to follow a “pay as you grow” model. In that case, moving to a public or hybrid cloud environment is often the best solution. However, that is easier said than done, and this process could be hard to perform without an experienced team. Finally, moving to the cloud requires modifications to the processes of data center operations.
