Highlights of OpenStack PTG, Denver 

The OpenStack foundation organizes “Project Teams Gathering” every six months, mostly in Q1 and Q3, at the beginning of the development phase of a release cycle. Previously known as the “Design Summit”, the main motive for this event is to discuss the upcoming cycle, solutions for complex issues, and innovative solutions to critical items. I was privileged to attend the Denver PTG this September.

Go Serverless with Kubeless!

In the past few years, cloud computing has been a game changer in a number of ways, and the emergence of serverless computing/architecture is just another example of what cloud tech has been able to achieve.

So, what is serverless?

The phrase "serverless" doesn’t mean servers are no longer involved; it simply means that developers no longer need to worry about server maintenance, outages, and scaling bottlenecks.

Application Modernization - Assess, Strategize, Modernize!

Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, once said - “Change is the only constant.” We may or may not wish, but things are going to change, and this leaves us with two options – we can be too stubborn to change, or we can embrace the change. Most of the time, especially when it comes to technology, we have nothing but the second option to go with. We need to keep upgrading, modifying, reinventing, refactoring, and repurposing how our IT applications, systems, and environments operate.

Ops with AWS

Amazon Web Services completed 10 years in 2016, and who would have imagined a computer and storage renting company would compete with the likes of Googles and Microsofts of the world. As a matter of fact, AWS is a leader in cloud infrastructure, as per Gartner’s report, leading past everyone, including Microsoft and Google.

DevSecOps: Building Security into Your DevOps Processes

DevOps enables organizations that embrace the movement and culture to be more competitive by enabling faster, more reliable software releases by leveraging automation to replace manual processes involved in shipping software. A side effect of this speed is that security tools and processes need to move at the same pace to keep up. The idea driving DevSecOps or Rugged DevOps is to bake the security testing of the application under development into the process used to ship it.

From the CEO's Desk: TestOps at the Speed of DevOps

DevOps has been a much talked about trend in recent years. Obviously, I am advocating DevOps along with most of the software professionals who are now reaping the benefits of the collaboration between the Dev and Ops teams, which is helping them release software faster than ever before. With DevOps, now that we have reduced the time taken for software delivery from a few weeks to a few hours, we also need our testing and QA teams to gear up to ensure that the delivered software is what everyone expects it to be.
