Surprising Results in the 2023 Third-Party App Access Report

Employees are always looking for ways to improve efficiency and reduce complexity in their day-to-day lives. One of the ways they do this is by connecting numerous third-party apps to their Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. For instance, they may use Automagical Forms to enhance Google Docs’ form-building capabilities or Pixabay Free Images to import images. This SaaS-to-SaaS access has become common practice; the problem is that its security implications are typically overlooked. Adaptive Shi

Automation: All Fun and Games Until Something Goes Wrong

The story of technology — and the software industry — is one of increasing speed and efficiency. Less friction. A faster route to done. This is more than just a shared myth; it can be seen in the types of products that emerge on the market, how they’re positioned and how they find their way into workflows and toolchains. For instance: COBOL made it easier for non-specialists to program. DevOps removed the friction between building and operating software. Platform engineering is building guardra

Factor Cost Efficiency into Platform Engineering for Growth, Profitability

Platform engineering is a strategic concept in which engineers use a single pane of glass to streamline all processes, tools, and platforms. It optimizes security, DevOps, CloudOps, and more, so engineers can work more efficiently, without investing an excessive amount of time and effort. This streamlining eliminates the overwhelming amount of tasks and responsibilities that come with working on complex microservices and cloud native environments. With less cognitive load needed to go into buil

Best Practices to Build IoT Analytics

Today, Internet of Things (IoT) data or sensor data is all around us. Industry analysts project the number of connected devices worldwide to be a total of 30.9 billion units by 2025, up from 12.7 billion units in 2021. When it comes to IoT data, keep in mind that it has special characteristics, which means we have to plan how to store and manage it to maintain the bottom line. Making the wrong choice on factors like storage and tooling can complicate data analysis and lead to increased costs. A

What Wasm Needs to Reach the Edge

Write once, run anywhere. This mantra continues to hold true for the promise of WebAssembly (WASM) — but the keyword is “promise” since we are not there yet, especially for edge applications, or at least not completely. Of course, strides have been made as far as WebAssembly’s ability to accommodate different languages beyond JavaScript and Rust as vendors begin to support different languages, such as TypeScript, Python or C#. As of today, WASM is very much present in the browser. It is also ra

Ansible Validated Content: Introduction to infra.osbuild Collection

Introduction to the Image builder use case During the last year we met with multiple edge customers, covering the automation needs for IT Linux infrastructure at scale across remote locations where there is often no IT staff on site. Think about retail stores, dark stores and warehouses where self-checkout, handhelds and POS devices hosting RHEL are distributed everywhere.  For industrial setups and manufacture, this could be the scenario for small factor servers and storage hosting logging

Model, view, and reduce your workload carbon emission by Crane in a declarative way

Guest post by Jesse Meng and Qiming Hu, Tencent Introduction Do you know? The Arctic is so hot that you can wear short sleeves, with temperatures soaring to 32.5 degrees Celsius. Scientists say that many species have reached the brink of extinction as global warming intensifies, and polar bears will go extinct by the end of this century if no immediate action is taken. Reducing carbon emissions and protecting the planet has become a consensus for all mankind. The Index Climate Actio

Getting Developer Self-Service Right

Improving developer experience (DevEx) is a hot topic in the DevOps world. Enabling developer self-service is frequently mentioned as a way to boost both DevEx and developer productivity. When done right, it helps relieve the tension between developers and Ops by enabling: Ops to prioritize strategy over tickets. Strengthened security and compliance. Shorter time from commit to deploy. Autonomous deployment without relying on Ops. In other words, developer self-service is the key to enabling

No More JavaScript: How Microsoft Blazor Uses WebAssembly

Last week I introduced you to Blazor, Microsoft’s web stack that eschews JavaScript and enables developers to use WebAssembly on the client side. We saw quite a pleasing HTML/code separation on templates and a solid component system. Now it is time to venture further into the purple man’s domain (the presenter in the explainer videos, Jeff Fritz, wears a very fetching purple blazer) and beyond. You will remember previously that you can have multiple routes marked out on the page. We can see an

How to Create Zero Trust Architecture for Service Mesh

It’s not surprising that zero trust security has captured the imagination of tech organizations. The premise is beguilingly simple: just because you come into a system doesn’t mean you should have access to everything. Or, indeed, anything. Each request — whether from a person or a microservice — is examined in a broader security context, taking into account attributes such as: Who is this user? How do we validate that? What time of day is it? What permissions does this user have? Simple as the

Don’t Make Big Tech’s Mistakes: Build Leaner IT Teams Instead

One of the biggest narratives in the U.S. concerning the current wave of tech layoffs is the fact that ‘traditional’ sectors have a prime opportunity to snap up new tech teams and IT talent. This has always been a significant challenge for sectors such as banks, insurance and manufacturing that compete with big tech for […] The post Don’t Make Big Tech’s Mistakes: Build Leaner IT Teams Instead appeared first on DevOps.com.

What Are Time Series Databases, and Why Do You Need Them?

The use of time series databases (TSDBs) has been prevalent in various industries for decades, particularly in finance and process-control systems. However, if you think you’ve been hearing more about them lately, you’re probably right. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a surge in the amount of time series data generated, prompting the need for purpose-built TSDBs. Additionally, as IT infrastructure continues to expand, monitoring data from various sources such as servers
