While many Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices aim to simplify and reduce the stress of deployment by making it a regular occurrence, it can still pose substantial challenges and lead to various issues.
Validating your cyber defence effectiveness through Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS)
BAS is a proactive approach that automates the process of simulating cyber attacks such as phishing campaigns, malware, or exfiltration, to name a few, and then evaluates the organization"s defences. The aim is continuous identification of vulnerabilities across different devices or systems, keep organization ahead of the evolving cyber threats and minimize the security gaps.
Securing Critical Infrastructure: Best Practices for Privileged Access Management (PAM)
In today"s digital landscape, protecting critical infrastructure is crucial for maintaining the stability of essential services. With increasing cyber threats targeting sectors like energy, banking, and healthcare, managing privileged access to critical systems has become more important than ever.

Monitoring temperature of my DietPi Homelab cluster with Grafana Cloud
At around end of March, I want to get my hands on the old raspberry pi cluster again as I need a testbed for K8S, ChatOps, CI/CD etc. The DevOps ecosystem in 2023 is more ARM ready compared with 2020 which makes building a usable K8S stack on Pi realistic.
Setting up the first SLO
This is the final piece of the 3 part series "The path to your first SLO". We have discussed on the basics of what to observe and how to get the relevant metrics in part 1 and part 2 of this series. This time we are going to have a quick look on to setup a simple service availability monitoring SLO with Nobl9 and SolarWinds Pingdom.
How to obtain the metrics for SLO tracking
This is part 2 of the 3 part series "The path to your first SLO". When you have a clear understanding of what metrics to gather for SLO, the next question is how to obtain and gather those metrics. Basically the metrics can be obtained by the following methods.
How to identify the golden metrics for SRE
This is part 1 of the 3 part series "The path to your first SLO". When talking about building an observability practice, many customers we talked to struggled on what to observe and usually frustrated with the alarm storms or false alarms. ITOps are concerned about centralized monitoring and gather metrics from different systems for proactive monitoring.
