According to Puppet's State of DevOps Report 2021, 83% of IT professionals report their organizations are implementing DevOps practices to achieve faster time to delivery, gain increased security of systems and unlock higher business value. No surprise. What is a bit eye-opening is that those same DevOps teams report that finding the right metrics to monitor and measure success is still a challenge. Here are a few simple metrics that all DevOps professionals should monitor and measure on a regular basis ...

Mobile app security is broken. The problem is that there's a massive mismatch between the way mobile apps are developed and the way developers implement security. Mobile DevOps uses CI/CD tools to automate the development of mobile apps and of their deployment into production. Security, however, is still almost entirely manual, which is very slow ...
Transformative technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have changed the way we perceive DevOps. They have transformed the DevOps environment in such a way that execution of processes like data analysis and management has not only become simpler but also faster. Not to mention, these next-level solutions help users speed up their software development cycle, thus ensuring faster time-to-value ...
As businesses seek ways to capitalize on the benefits of digital transformation, low-code tools provide a compelling solution for application development. Low-code tech is an efficient approach to empower a new line of "citizen developers," boost developer productivity, and scale up more rapidly ...
In the cloud world, containers are the centerpoint of a growing majority of deployments. By providing compartmentalization of workloads and the ability to run "serverless," containers can speed up and secure deployments and create flexibility unreachable by old style application servers. While a variety of tools have been developed to meet this need, none are as impactful to the industry as Kubernetes. It has emerged as the de facto container orchestration tool for many companies ...
When GitOps entered the scene in 2017, it was introduced as an extension of DevOps, taking its best practices and applying them to infrastructure automation. Now, developers expect not only an extension of DevOps, but an evolution of GitOps ...
In today's digitally driven work environment, leveraging technology to improve efficiencies is an essential component of any modern business. This is especially true for those in the business of software. As a business's software development life cycle (SDLC) continues to speed up, and more code is developed and deployed at a faster rate, testing that code for quality to ensure optimal user experience is critical. The SDLC is also only growing more complex, so finding ways to simplify and automate wherever possible are critical too. That's why a modern SDLC should start with software test automation ...
Migrating applications to the cloud is a complex process. It becomes even more complicated if the applications in question are business-critical, have been heavily customized, or run on IBM POWER hardware. Fortunately, IT can reduce risk during the migration process by planning and preparing data and applications in advance. Here's how ...
At first, DevOps may seem counterintuitive when compared to traditional software engineering and development. It intentionally breaks down silos that function within each specialty to deliver improved, holistic business results. When implemented successfully, DevOps transforms the systems that provide software solutions and, in the process, empowers organizations to leverage disruptive technology to their advantage ...
Tool fragmentation and sprawl stands also out as one of the primary obstacles to accelerating developer-led digital operations. Too many tools, especially ones that are not designed with developer workflows and integrations in mind, hinders productivity. Without a unified collaboration experience, and the customization, integration and security controls necessary, developers, and the broader R&D teams they serve, are left without the alignment, visibility, and control needed to truly accelerate digital operations. Here's a look at three collaboration tool must-haves to master digital developer collaboration ...
Over the past few years the "modern data stack” has entered the vernacular of the data world, describing a standardized, cloud-based data and analytics environment built around some classic technologies. One thing to note, however, is that what we call the "modern data stack” is essentially a re-envisioned cloud-and-SaaS version of the "legacy data stack'' with better analytics tools ...
Ransomware is no stranger to corporate networks, as it poses huge risks and even larger recovery efforts that are quite costly. Successful ransomware attacks can result in locked systems, stolen identity, data held hostage — all of which can wreak chaos and disaster to the targeted organizations. When ransomware reaches its target, it's practically game over ...
In the new cloud order, where seamless collaboration between DevOps and ITOps is critical, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes, combined with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, are being heralded as the keys to optimal application development and deployment. Adoption is broad and expectations are high. There's just one problem: CI/CD and IaC have yet to fully deliver on their promise ...
