In this episode we discuss the impacts of some of the latest vulnerabilities and how Dynatrace can help prevent the exploits of such vulnerabilities. We will also cover general trends in cyber defense, and why it is harder to defend than attack and what role does AI play in modern cyber security.

Spotify’s mission is to unlock the power of human creativity by creating opportunities for artists and fans alike. And underpinning that mission are thousands of developers managing tens of thousands of software components. So add unlocking developer creativity to that list — streamlining their workflows, making it easier to share knowledge, and getting the messy parts of infrastructure out of their way. In this episode, we’ll go behind the scenes of Spotify to learn about how Spotify exports their internal engineering culture to a global community with an open source project called Backstage.

LINBIT SDS is a software-defined storage, that perfectly fits with Red Hat's OpenShift. It provides persistent volumes, exposed through the CSI interface. You can use it to build out of internal storage devices the persistent volumes for your cloud-native container workload. While it was initially designed for the on-prem data center, it is also a fit for multi-cloud and edge deployments. It is a good fit for IO demanding workloads, like OLTP and OLAP databases, message queuing, and AI.

Learn about retaining control of your security controls to take action against unknown future events. Join John Aron again with the discussion from Aronetics where we understand more of the cybersecurity battle.

Akka is a toolkit for building scalable, resilient, and resource-efficient applications on the JVM in Java or Scala. With Akka, you can build applications composed of a single JVM to a fleet of JVMs distributed across a cluster of servers. We will tour Akka from the humble actor up to the systems level and how Akka is used by some of the world’s most recognized brands to build distributed clustered systems composed of clusters within clusters for optimal customer experiences. 

There are many definitions of Observability that are thrown around. Some definitions reference control theory. We take the more pragmatic approach advocated by Bryan Cantrill as the “capability to allow a human to ask and answer questions.” As such, when creating a new system or wrangling long-standing systems, discovering the questions that we want to ask systems has been a valuable exercise. So often, we jump to the tools or implementation without taking a step back and looking at what we are trying to accomplish.  One of the key questions that many of us want answered for our system is where an application was spending the most time in its flow of execution. In order to answer that question, NGINX embarked on a journey to integrate Open Telemetry with their application's Modern App Reference Architecture (MARA). 

Join us this week to learn about how Aronetics redefines security from your pocket. Learn about retaining and controlling your security system to take action against unknown future events. 

In this conversation, Jim Walker (@jaymce, Principal Product Evangelist at Cockroach Labs) discusses how serverless has moved from compute to backing data services, and focuses on improving application developer productivity. Plus, we address why developers love consuming a serverless SQL database, how CockroachDB thinks about serverless, and what the future of application development is going to look like with a serverless SQL database.

Traditionally, enterprise observability solutions have required event data to be routed to back-end storage before any centralized analysis and reporting could take place. First Mile Observability shifts this whole process left, enabling observability immediately when and where the data is created. This empowers the enterprise with immediate, actionable intelligence on system performance and real-time troubleshooting and performance optimization. As a bonus, First Mile Observability solutions from Calyptia, powered by open source Fluent Bit and Red Hat OpenShift, can leverage your existing IT infrastructure.

Starburst Galaxy is a self-service platform that provides all the benefits of the best-in-class MPP SQL engine, Trino, on an easy to use, fully-managed and enterprise-ready SaaS platform designed by the open source project’s original creator and its experts. Users can end their data silos by querying their data across sources and clouds to open doors to new insights.

As Kubernetes becomes more and more popular there’s a growing need to address compliance concerns. While development teams face constant demands based on customer and organizational equirements, they must also ensure that data and systems adhere to mandates and frameworks like GDPR, NIST 800-53, HIPAA and others. The only way to keep up is to automate processes everywhere possible – including compliance. During this podcast we’ll discuss the current and future state of compliance requirements and how developers can use a template-based approach to simplify the administration and management of compliance.

It seems like everyone is moving to modern application architectures. What modern means can vary from person to person, but you can safely assume it is going to involve cloud native and kubernetes. While there are many upsides to these architectures, they do add a new level of complication to observability and troubleshooting. With constant changing and evolving applications and infrastructure you need to approach troubleshooting differently.
