Engagement details

A multi-cloud solution with multiple tenant accounts for different projects, each using a different infrastructure provider, can be difficult to manage. In addition, the manual provisioning process, capacity, performance, configuration, orchestration, and life-cycle management can also be troublesome. So, designing a multi-cloud environment that is expandable in platforms with a centralized management solution can help in such cases.

Engagement details

Each microservice has its vital configuration files. So, configuration management of a multi-microservice system can be tiresome. The secret configuration is generally maintained in the form of YAML files. However, storing credentials in the YAML file is insecure. Maintaining the configuration files across the environment (development, staging, pre-production, production, etc.) is complicated, with a risk of mistakes while manually copying the files.

What do the re:Invent 2017 releases mean to your DevOps?

“What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” is one of the most famous taglines used in modern times to brand or market a city, especially from the tourism perspective. Luckily though, this doesn’t hold true when it comes to AWS re:Invent as whatever happens in Vegas in these 5 days changes the whole cloud and related services market, and this year was no exception.
