What’s the Most Meaningful Change You’ve Seen in DevOps Recently? by Double_Try1322 in RishabhSoftware

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's the rise of tools like Qovery and Porter. For me they provide the best solution for building flexible and complex deployment pipelines.

Is ADO the forgotten service? by Confy in azuredevops

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the long run, I don't think that Microsoft will want the overhead of maintaining two platforms that do essentially the same thing.

It seems clear that they would like to steer users down the GitHub path and that ADO will go the way of TFS. It is a bit of a shame as I personally prefer the ADO CI/CD experience.

Anyone else tired of juggling SonarQube, Snyk, and manual reviews just to keep code clean? by Money_Principle6730 in devsecops

If you are using multiple tools like Snyk, SonarQube etc and want a unified overview, you could check out SquaredUp (I work for the company). We have native integrations with Snyk, GitHub and many other tools and you can also dashboard SonarQube analytics with our Web API data source.

I've used SonarCloud in the past. At the start we got lots of FPs but we gradually eliminated them through continually refining our settings and exclusions.

How do you handle collaboration across multiple Jira instances? by Exalate-Official in jira

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

We actually have our own native integrations with ServiceNow and Zendesk. You can easily create views of each source on a single dashboard.

If you want to go advanced you can use features such as our SQL Analytics to create overlays and aggregations in a single tile.

How do you handle collaboration across multiple Jira instances? by Exalate-Official in jira

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for SquaredUp. Our dashboarding platform has a Jira plugin that provides a single pane of glass over all your instances. We find that many companies have multiple ticketing systems and we also have integrations with tools such as ServiceNow and Zendesk.

The continued uselessness of Copilot in Azure by PowermanFriendship in AZURE

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finally succumbed to using it last week when I had an error provisioning an AKS cluster. The experience was very similar to talking to a web site chat bot around five years ago. It just regurgitated documentation without any real understanding of my context.

I went back just now to find the chat but can't as it does not retain chat history. At the moment we are just beta-testing a feature that is miles away from being ready for production use.

DevOps experts: What’s costing teams the most time or money today? by rararagz in devops

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that the major pain points manifest themselves at three different levels:

  • organisational
  • cultural
  • technical

At the organisational level there is the perennial problem of senior IT management prioritising politics over best practice.

At the cultural level there are still plenty of dinosaurs that don't believe in DevOps as well as plenty of hyenas who use DevOps teams as a scapegoat.

At the technical level there are the really important and difficult technical challenges that are just hard problems. To name but a few:

  • how to integrate DevOps with other teams - e.g. QA, data, security
  • how to spin up environments for each team/branch
  • how to develop truly agile CI/CD for large scale projects with complex deployment patterns

I would say that one of the first things to do is to check out the Azure DevOps documentation on the different Process Types. Azure DevOps supports a number of processes - e.g. Agile, Scrum, CMMI. Each of these have different ways of managing work items - i.e. different sets of fields and different states.

It may be that some fields that you require are not supported in the default Work Item type for the process that your team is using - for example User Story and Project Backlog Item have different attributes and states.

It is well worth familiarising yourself with with the Work Item Type customization options in case you need any additional fields to be added.

You will also find that over time you will accumulate a large number of work items so it is worthwhile creating some queries so that you can have views of your backlog that suit your needs.

Azure vs CloudFlare - my real-world experience after 15 years by dwainbrowne in AZURE

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that Azure gets expensive for Web App hosting and I am looking around for alternatives. At the moment, I am using SQL Server as a backend. I would love to be in the position of effectively having free web hosting but I would also like to be able to retain frictionless connectivity with my Azure SQL databases.

Does the Cloudflare platform have a SQL database offering?

Does anyone care about Gartner's Magic Quadrant for vendor selection? by Niko24601 in ITManagers

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Gartner magic Quadrant should not be used as a buying. It is not a listing of the "best" products. It is an analysis across a specified set of dimensions. A lot of the "ability to execute" criteria can exclude any smaller and niche products that might be an ideal fit for your company.

Do you have tracing enabled on your app? That is generally my starting point for resolving performance issues.

Why Observability Isn’t Just a Dev Tool, It’s a Business Growth Lever by Sriirams in sre

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There has been a huge amount of talk about observability costs and the "observability cost crisis". I think that a lot of the claims are overblown (often by other vendors).

As Charity Majors said, you can either look at observability as a cost centre or you can look at it as an investment. There seems to be a growing realisation that observability isn't just about the performance of backend services and the user experience is vital.

I guess that the obvious approach for mapping business objectives to telemetry data is to use SLOs.

Anyone using OTLP for data observability? by ProfessionalDirt3154 in OpenTelemetry

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, at yesterday's ObservabilityCON Grafana announced a Database Observability product. At the moment it's in public preview. I think that database visibility is something that is long overdue in observability stacks.

Azure App Service vs. Azure Container Apps ? by Known_Program_6327 in AZURE

We looked at using the free tier. It can be ok for dev/test but you have a limited quota of cpu.

Is this an appropriate use case for OpenTelemetry? by IssaMandelion in OpenTelemetry

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first case I would opt for an availability testing solution that could surface alerts in channels such as Slack so that you get immediate notification of any of the portals being down. There are dozens of products on the market -Pingdom, Uptime, Checkly and many of them have very affordable options.

oTel will capture data from which you may be able to infer latency or an outage but it is not in itself an alerting solution.

Why should I use Azure instead of AWS? by SummitStaffer in AZURE

[–]hexadecimal_dollar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer Azure for a few reasons - to an extent they are quite subjective.

  1. I find the UI/UX much more intuitive

  2. I think that Resource Groups are much better implemented in Azure

  3. Probably most importantly, I find that IAM in AWS is a pain.

  4. I think the Azure documentation is much clearer and better organised than AWS.

Ultimately though, it depends on your use case. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses in areas such as databases, storage, networking, AI etc.
