Build Terraform CI/CD Pipelines using AWS CodePipeline

Terraform is a popular Infrastructure as Code tool for deploying resources in AWS, and integrating it into a CI/CD pipeline can greatly improve efficiency and deployment reliability. Leveraging AWS Code Services (CodeCommit, CodeBuild, and CodePipeline) in combination with Terraform allows for automated validation tests, linting, security checks, and compliance checks to ensure infrastructure adheres to company standards.

✅ An Alerting strategy for the cloud

There is a lack of articles on alerting strategies, so this article aims to address that gap. It discusses the need for alerting, the importance of an alerting strategy, industry frameworks, different cloud alert types, prioritization, channels for alerts, recipients, a use case example, and best practices for configuring alerts.

How a Monero Crypto Miner Exploits Docker Containers

Cryptocurrencies have become a focal point for cybercriminals, with Monero being the most popular cryptocurrency to mine among cybercriminals. Monero’s value has increased by 550% over the last year, making it an attractive and profitable option for cybercriminals.

✅ How Uber & DoorDash empower developers to preview every code change in production

Uber and DoorDash implemented innovative solutions to improve testing on Kubernetes. Uber created a tool called SLATE for on-demand testing environments within the production environment, while DoorDash utilized Signadot’s connect feature to connect local services to those running in the Kubernetes cluster. Both solutions led to faster feedback and improved developer velocity.

Verifying Container Image Signatures Within CRI Runtimes

Author: Sascha Grunert The Kubernetes community has been signing their container image-based artifacts since release v1.24. While the graduation of the corresponding enhancement from alpha to beta in v1.26 introduced signatures for the binary artifacts, other projects followed the approach by providing image signatures for their releases, too. This means that they either create the signatures within their own CI/CD pipelines, for example by using GitHub actions, or rely on the Kubernetes image promotion process to automatically sign the images by proposing pull requests to the k/k8s.

✅ 10 Tools for Scaling Microservices

Scale your microservices with Helios, Prometheus, AWS Lambda, Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes, Postman, and more. These tools provide observability, monitoring, automatic scaling, efficient messaging, workflow orchestration, and testing capabilities that are essential for scaling microservices effectively.

Introduction to Collecting Traces with OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry (OTEL) is an open-source observability platform that provides a unified and vendor-agnostic way for instrumenting, collecting, and exporting telemetry data for systems and applications. It offers client libraries for various programming languages and allows you to send telemetry data from multiple applications to a single dashboard.

Monoliths are not dinosaurs

Building evolvable software systems is a must and revisiting architectures with an open mind is crucial. Software architectures can be changed and components can be replaced without impacting the customer experience, making evolvability an important consideration.

Linux 6.5 Slated To Add Provisioning Primitives For Thinly Provisioned Storage

Another feature scheduled for the upcoming Linux 6.5 kernel merge window is the introduction of support for provisioning primitives for thinly provisioned storage with the Device Mapper code. These provisioning primitives, developed by Google’s Chrome OS team, allow for pre-allocation of space for use in storage setups, such as suspend-to-disk mechanisms and virtual machines using sparse files or DM-thin as storage devices.

✅ How To Monitor and Troubleshoot Applications using OpenTelemetry

OpenTelemetry is a free, open-source Observability Protocol. OpenTelemetry sits at the application layer, and exports Traces, Metrics, and Logs to a backend for observing. It is extremely helpful and beneficial to developers in the mean “time-to-detection” and “time-to-resolution” of bugs and issues that occur at the application layer; this ranges from detecting and alerting for errors raised (such as TypeError), to finding that a specific microservice (such as AWS Lambda) ran for twice as long as usual, all the way to seeing the output of a service and comparing it to the expected output to find a bug in the logic of the service.
