Addressing the Scalability vs Price Challenge in Cloud | @CloudExpo #API #Cloud #Storage

There are several reasons why businesses migrate their operations to the cloud. Scalability and price are among the most important factors determining this transition. Unlike legacy systems, cloud-based businesses can scale on demand. The database and applications in the cloud are not rendered simply from one server located in your headquarters, but are instead distributed across several servers across the world. Such CDNs also bring about greater control in times of uncertainty. A database hack can be easily averted by shutting down the breached server and only rendering from servers that are still secure. Cloud businesses are also typically inexpensive compared to legacy systems. Cloud servers like AWS host millions of applications on their data centers and this dramatically brings down the cost per unit of storage. Setting up your own server can be quite expensi... (more)

Monitoring APIs | @DevOpsSummit @Catchpoint #API #DevOps #AI #WebPerf

Web Performance 101: Monitoring APIs By Kameerath Kareem We have already established the importance of APIs in today’s digital world (read about it here). With APIs playing such an important role in keeping us connected, it’s necessary to maintain the API’s performance as well as availability. There are multiple aspects to consider when monitoring APIs, from integration to performance issues, therefore a general monitoring strategy that only accounts for up-time is not ideal. What can go wrong? APIs power complex integrations and allow disparate applications to work together to build a more interactive and connected digital environment. It allows data exchange between services but such connections and integrations can create multiple points of vulnerability in the network. There are several things that can go wrong when using APIs: The API endpoint may be experiencin... (more)

How to Use Docker | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Docker #Containers

How to Use Docker By Ron Gidron Docker is on a roll. In the last few years, this container management service has become immensely popular in development, especially given the great fit with agile-based projects and continuous delivery. In this article, I want to take a brief look at how you can use Docker to accelerate and streamline the software development lifecycle (SDLC) process. First however, a brief introduction. The whole concept of Docker is for developers to easily ship applications inside ‘software containers' which can then be deployed and run anywhere. Let's imagine you develop an application on your laptop where it works perfectly. Then you push that into a test or production environment; you've chosen the right stack, the right language, and right version. But it doesn't work. Why? Because it's not the same environment. Maybe you used a new version ... (more)

One Byte at a Time In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Kelly Looney, director of DevOps consulting for Skytap, showed how an incremental approach to introducing containers into complex, distributed applications results in modernization with less risk and more reward. He also shared the story of how Skytap used Docker to get out of the business of managing infrastructure, and into the business of delivering innovation and business value. Attendees learned how up-front planning allows for a clean separation between infrastructure, platform, and service concerns.

[session] #DevOps and Automation of #CloudNative Apps | @CloudExpo #Serverless #DX

The CMP 2.0: Bringing Automation, Orchestration and Governance to Cloud Native Apps and DevOps As many know, the first generation of Cloud Management Platform (CMP) solutions were designed for managing virtual infrastructure (IaaS) and traditional applications. But that's no longer enough to satisfy evolving and complex business requirements. In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Scott Davis, Embotics CTO, will explore how next-generation CMPs ensure organizations can manage cloud-native and microservice-based application architectures, while also facilitating agile DevOps methodology. He will explain how automation, orchestration and governance are fundamental to managing today's hybrid cloud environments and are critical for digital businesses to deliver services faster, with better user experience and higher quality, all while saving money.

Java Web Services Tutorial | @CloudExpo #DevOps #API #Java #Microservices

Java Web Services Tutorial: Improve App Communication and Flexibility By Eugen Paraschiv Web services have taken the development world by storm, especially in recent years as they've become more and more widely adopted. There are naturally many reasons for this, but first, let's understand what exactly a web service is. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) defines "web of services" as "message-based design frequently found on the Web and in enterprise software". Basically, a web service is a method of sending a message between two devices through a network. In practical terms, this translates to an application which outputs communication in a standardized format for other client applications to receive and act on. Web services have been adopted so quickly because they bring several important advantages: Allow communication and interoperability between applications r... (more)

When you focus on a journey from up-close, you look at your own technical and cultural history and how you changed it for the benefit of the customer. This was our starting point: too many integration issues, 13 SWP days and very long cycles. It was evident that in this fast-paced industry we could no longer afford this reality. We needed something that would take us beyond reducing the development lifecycles, CI and Agile methodologies. We made a fundamental difference, even changed our culture.

51 Useful #Docker Tools | @DevOpsSummit #CloudNative #DevOps #Serverless #Kubernetes

Top Docker Tools: 51 Useful Docker Tools for Every Stage of the Development Pipeline By Angela Stringfellow Docker is sweeping across startups and enterprises alike, changing the way we build and ship applications. It's the most prominent and widely known software container platform, and it's particularly useful for eliminating common challenges when collaborating on code (like the "it works on my machine" phenomenon that most devs know all too well). With Docker, you can run and manage apps side-by-side - in isolated containers - resulting in better compute density. It's something that many developers don't think about, but you can even use Docker with ASP.NET. You probably don't need to be sold on the many appealing Docker capabilities, but you might not be familiar with the wide range of third-party tools that integrate seamlessly with Docker, from logging tools ...
