Web assembly is making its way beyond browsers to the server, the cloud and edge devices.

Buoyed by the increased focus on software security, SBOMs are on their way to becoming a standard component of all software packages.

Talking to a member of the technical oversight committee of the CD foundation and llearning about her work as the co-chair of the interoperability SIG.

The first open source cloud security conference was just held.  The CNCF's CTO talks about the event, where cloud native security is today and where it will be tomorrow.

Melissa McKay of Jfrog goes over the key points of the software security keynote she delivered.

This blog post will focus on the first steps to leverage the CloudIQ REST API. This API is useful for anyone who wants to integrate CloudIQ with other tools they have in their ecosystem (such as CMDB, data warehouse, provisioning, and so on). We will use one of the most popular tools for working with REST APIs: Postman. So, get ready to unleash the power of APIs and transform your IT service management!

Talking to the CTO of the Cloud Native Compute Foundation and how he see's the future of Kubernetes   

Chris Aniszczyk, the CTO of the CNCF talks about his background and provides an overview of the CNCF portfolio of projects.

As the name suggests, DevOps days are attended by both developers and operations, but what's the mix and what are the specific sub roles?  Learn about the make up of DevOps days Austin and how it came to be nearly a dozen years ago.

At its core, WebAssembly (WASM) provides a lightweight, portable, and secure binary application format. WASM, which is best known for its use within browsers, runs across platforms and is an evolution in the way developers create and deploy applications. Computing has evolved from bare-metal to virtual machines and more recently into the popularized containerized format that runs on bare-metal or virtual machines. Containers are key to enabling cloud native architectures that use Kubernetes and like containers, WASM aims to provide better portability, performance, and security for the way organizations build and run applications today.

Laura Santamaria becomes the fifth member of Dell's Developer Relations team.  Check out the following interview to learn a bit about Laura, her mad skillz and why she chose Dell.

A practical use case that leverages best of breed ITSM, automation, Kubernetes, storage and data protection to deliver a consistent developer experience for container workloads

Over a decade ago a sparsely-resourced project was launched to see if there was interest in a Linux-based laptop for developers.  Read how this low-budget effort, targeted at what many saw as a niche audience, gained traction and success by leveraging the power of the community.

At last year's DevOps days Austin, I delivered a 10-year retrospective, tracing the evolution of DevOps -- its tools, technology, leaders and contributors.  The material for the presentation came from interviews I conducted at the event over the past decade. 

The article largely focuses on repatriating applications and workloads (stateless and stateful) from EKS to EKS Anywhere. However, the same techniques can be used for the reverse use-cases such as Cloud-DR (EKS Anywhere to EKS) 

This is the Part-2 of the PowerScale CSI and EKS Anywhere article. In this article, we are going to explore the testing of Dell PowerScale CSI with EKS Anywhere

This is the Part-1 of the PowerScale CSI and EKS Anywhere article. In this article, we are going to explore the implementation, integration and testing of Dell PowerScale CSI with EKS Anywhere.

DevOps is not your final destination...check out this great presentation by Brad hosted by Techstrong during their daylong DevOps Experience event! 

The container storage interface (CSI) is a specification aimed at providing an industry standard for how storage providers can interoperate with container orchestration (CO) systems. Learn why Dell Technologies is no stranger to CSI nor implementing it across its portfolio. A quick search on Dell’s GitHub shows a vast array (pun intended) of support for the container storage interface. You can find links to all drivers as well as our Container Storage Modules enhancements to CSI in this repository.  

This article discusses and demonstrates how we can protect and recover EKS-Anywhere clusters and workloads at scale in case of major disasters

A video interview with Alan Clark from SUSE's office of the CTO -- Alan discusses the Edge, its architecture, how to view security as well as the need for consistency from the core to the Edge. 

Video interview:  Jim Hatcher of Cockroach Labs walks us through their distributed SQL platform, CockroachDB.

Video interview: Brendan O'Leary of GitLab provides an overview of GitLab's devops platform, the importance of security and how GitLab's customers tend to prefer private over public cloud.

Sock shop is a polyglot architectural pattern developed by weaveworks to demonstrate a microservices based deployment. There are a number of technologies that are implemented (SpringBoot, Go, REDIS, MYSQL, MongoDB, etc.). We will be using this application set to demonstrate various use cases on top of EKS Anywhere. 

This article demonstrates the use of Octant an open-source GUI toolkit to manage EKS Anywhere clusters

The main goal of this article is to demonstrate how you can easily observe the EKS Anywhere clusters using the EKS console within AWS with the help of EKS connector.

In this article we will deploy test-use cases over Dell EMC Unity-XT CSI with EKS Anywhere and observe various functionality especially around snapshots, recovery, etc. The test use-case is a MySQL deployment wherein the data volume will be persisted via the Unity-XT CSI over NFS protocol.

In this article, we will observe the simplicity of Dell EMC CSI installation with EKS Anywhere that can further enhance the performance and other related attributes of persistent workloads.

In this article, we will deploy a MySQL persistent workload on EKS Anywhere cluster using PowerStore CSI via iSCSI. In addition, we will also perform several validations against the persistence characteristics offered via the CSI.

This is the Part-1 of the PowerStore CSI and EKS Anywhere article. In this article, we are going to explore the implementation, integration and testing of Dell PowerStore CSI with EKS Anywhere for an iSCSI-based use-case.
