After weeks of industry rumors and leaks to the press, on January 11 Harness announced that it had purchased the assets of Armory. Harness says this news “Powers [the] Future of Software Delivery” but what was (and was not) announced suggests otherwise. I’d like to share my take on what is happening and what it means […]

Many organizations are using a combination of Jenkins and a tool like Ansible, Puppet, Chef, or Salt to automate their CI/CD pipelines but find themselves having to do many steps manually or using a series of scripts that can be hard to maintain. Many organizations manually move software from Development to Staging to Production with time-consuming manual processes. Spinnaker can fully automate these processes. Spinnaker can fully integrate with standard CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, SonarQube, and Artifactory but add a layer of automation to automate software deployments to Development, Staging, and Production, eliminating many manual steps. Spinnaker also automates the creation of Canary Analysis and Blue/Green environments. Many large organizations, including Netflix and Google, use Spinnaker. Spinnaker was developed at Netflix and Google to automate their massive volume of CI/CD pipelines, but both large and smaller organizations can benefit from Spinnaker’s automation.

What is GitOps? GitOps is a set of best practives and principles that treats version control systems, such as Git, GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, as the central repository or single-source-of-truth to store code declaratively and then use it for deployment. GitOps methodology is centered around the Kubernetes application. It is becoming an increasingly common practice among the high […]

To fully understand Istio we need to take a detour and learn about Service mesh. Let us do a through recap of what a service mesh is? When infrastructures shifted from monolithic to microservices, containers could bring in consistency and granularity in managing resources. Microservices allowed us to treat one computer as many computers. This […]

Many of the organization want to use Spinnaker to transform their software delivery. Spinnaker not only is the best tool because it is open-source, and automatically deploy into multicloud, but also it API-based which provides greater flexibility to scale enterprise-wide by easily integrating with all CI/CD tool chain. However, there is a learning curve, training […]

Introduction Service mesh is an infrastructure layer built on top of a microservice architecture to provide observability, security, and reliability to applications. It ensures that the communication across containers or pods is secure, fast, and encrypted. Though the communication problems were a by-product of moving away from a monolith architecture, the benefits surpass the challenges […]

Deploy Fast Without Compromising Safety Contact Us If you are a Kubernetes user, operator, or developer deploying into K8s, you would be familiar with various components like Deployment, HELM, Istio, Kubernetes Resources like Operators, and CRDs. Kubernetes is an excellent open-source orchestration for container applications, but it requires scripts- many scripts to write and then […]

This blog is a continuation of the Autopilot story where we discuss how one can reduce the risk of releases by augmenting an exiting monitoring platform like Datadog. autopilot provides Realtime risk assessment of releases before a code is deployed into production and also deny releases that fail a minimum threshold. Once Autopilot is configured, it will […]

Introduction In the blog, we will explain how SREs can accurately verify the risk of their software in CI/CD pipeline by integrating Autopilot with Datadog monitoring solutions. OpsMx Autopilot is a machine learning (ML) and natural language processing tool that analyzes the data for you automatically so you can quickly and accurately decide whether an […]
