Network monitoring challenges in heterogeneous environments

The growing complexity of network environments poses great challenges to effective network monitoring. This should come as no surprise: such environments can include bare metals (on-prem solutions), data centers, private and public clouds. Additionally, automation, orchestration and SDNs can greatly enhance your network management, but at the same time add yet another level of complexity. In this blog post, we will discuss the main challenges related to monitoring and how to solve them to streamline the entire monitoring process.

Business benefits of CI/CD

Rare releases, tons of manual work, critical bugs detected too late, ineffective and late feedback—these problems plague the software development process many companies keep in place. They can be tackled by turning to continuous integration coupled with Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment, which will also generate more value for your customers/clients. Read on to understand what business benefits of CI/CD you may expect in your company. In the traditional approach to software development, major releases were spread out, occurring quite rarely—every six months, for example.

Continuous monitoring and observability in CI/CD

Deploying a CI/CD pipeline is only a half success. To complete the deployment, you need to establish continuous monitoring and observability which will allow you to collect metrics and actionable insights. In this blogpost you will learn about the principles of monitoring and observability, how they are related and how automation can streamline the entire deployment process. DevOps culture is a good starting point here, as understanding the DevOps advantages and its principles will allow you to contextualize continuous monitoring and observability.

CI/CD process — how to handle it in 2021

This article was updated on 7/22/2021Both CI/CD and the benefits of automating software delivery were widely discussed during the FOSDEM conference held in Brussels on 1-2 February 2020. Our team was in the center of the action and brought back a great deal of news from the CI/CD world. Read on to learn all about it. Successfully implementing a CI/CD pipeline means measuring—measuring everything. Gathering and monitoring extended statistics allows you to have full control over what is happening in your CI/CD process.

How to set up and optimize a CI/CD pipeline

Nowadays you will hear that if you want your SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) to be efficient, you need to have a proper, well-established CI/CD setup. In most cases, it’s true. In this blog post I am going to focus on how to go about creating such a setup when creating a new CI/CD pipeline and optimizing an existing one. I will also look at best practices to follow and outline errors to avoid. Finally, I will analyze the possible reasons why your CI/CD setup may not work as expected and propose solutions to turn things around.

Sharing configuration between your CI, build and development environments

This post is a follow-up to our presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Berlin, where we discussed maintaining a unified CI and building pipelines using the open source CI system, Zuul. You’ll find a recording of the talk here and a related OpenStack Superuser writeup here. I thought it would be useful for some of you to expand the concept of unifying environments and to include also the development one. I will also explain why this may help you ensure your project is progressing smoothly. DevOps practitioners are always on the lookout for ways to optimize and bulletproof their development workflows.

What is ZFS and how can I use it?

You have probably heard about ZFS. But perhaps you are still wondering what all the fuss is about, what it is exactly and how to use it. I’ve been using it for the past 3 years, so I hope I can help you understand how you can benefit from it. In a nutshell, ZFS is a combined filesystem and logical volume manager. It is intended, first and foremost, to maintain data integrity, but also to protect data from the hardware and from the user and simplify storage administration. ZFS was created at Sun Microsystems and open-sourced as part of OpenSolaris.

Do you even Zuul? CI system reloaded

When we first started, we were given two things to do: resolve issues with builds getting gradually slower and set up a completely new system that Tungsten Fabric could use. Over the years, Tungsten Fabric has received commits from more than 500 contributors and the code is scattered across over 50 repositories. The entire project consists of over 2 million lines of code, written mostly in C++ and Python. In the beginning of the project few major tasks emerged: prepare the CI for the increased involvement of the community;

CI/CD of CI/CD — how to avoid technical debt while delivering cutting edge software

When a company’s core business is delivering software, the tools it chooses to use are crucial to maintaining efficiency. Thus there is no reason to deliver CI/CD software in a model other than CI/CD. After we deliver shiny new CI/CD software to our clients, the work is hardly done. The software ages and the technical debt runs up. According to Deloitte, the typical application comes with $3.61 worth of technical debt per line of code. That debt accounts for every fast-but-imperfect patch or app architecture that ages and also makes innovations hard to apply.

Legacy code: a time bomb for your business?

Due to a technical failure, Delta Airlines had to cancel 2,300 flights. The problem was neither in the planes nor the company’s infrastructure. The reason for the chaos, clients' disappointment and the subsequent cut in profit guidance for the third quarter was simply aging software. This article will explain: What legacy code is? Why it is presenting companies with such a challenge? How we solve such problems? The problem with aging software and legacy apps afflicts every industry, from banking to insurance to telecommunications.
