What is the right storage software needed for DevOps to be a success?

Source – information-age.com A major operational problem in on-premises enterprise data centres has emerged over the past 10 years. This is rearing its head as a fundamental mismatch between the infrastructure and the needs of increasingly virtualised applications. There is a major contrast between what organisations want their staff to focus on – strategic projects, new application deployment, new customer acquisition and releasing new products – and the things they end up spending too much time on. This includes infrastructure ‘plumbing’

The future of computer security is machine vs machine

Source – csoonline.com A growing number of computer security thinkers, including myself, think that in the very near future, most computer security will be machine versus machine–good bots versus bad bots, completely automated. We are almost there now. Fortunately or unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll get to a purely automated defense for a long, long time. Today’s security defenses Much of our computer security defenses are already completely automated. Our operating systems are more securely configured out of the box, from

Six simple cloud security policies you need to know

Source – techtarget.com For a lot of cloud security breaches, the problem isn’t with the household-name cloud providers, but with you, the ops admin. The IT operations team often overlooks cloud security policies and best practices when it implements workloads on top-tier public cloud providers. The most common example is an inability to secure Amazon Simple Storage Service buckets. The cost to fix a breach — and the damage done to a high-profile brand due to the breach — far outweigh

Keep DevOps operations relevant in the age of code

Source – techtarget.com When I was right out of college, I actually interviewed for computer operator jobs twice. The first was an overnight shift at a hospital, starting at 10 p.m. and ending at 6 a.m. Operators had to run backup jobs, type in the command from the command line, switch tapes when the tapes filled and stuff envelopes when there was nothing to do. It wouldn’t be long until I’d see a listing of the career opportunities in IT, with

DevOps Futures: SREs, Re-Skilling, and New-Ops

Rely on the DevOps methodology to avoid disaster

Source – techtarget.com The DevOps methodology is more than just a flavor-of-the-month buzzword. It’s a new way to do things that can help catapult a business ahead of the competition.

A software defined network requires reinventing IT devops

Source – networkworld.com It’s common for a newly released application to have a few bugs in it. Customers may grumble, and IT service requests may increase, but life goes on and people will figure out how to work around the issues. The same cannot be said for a network software upgrade. If the network goes down, everything grinds to a halt, and service to employees and customers ceases. In the old hardware network model, an operator relied on three to four
