Sysdig, an industry leader for monitoring and security of cloud-native workloads, and IBM have joined forces to bring a fully Integrated powerful platform that delivers the security and performance that enterprises need in today’s multi-cloud world. Sysdig Secure and the IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management (MCM) can help you accelerate Kubernetes and cloud adoption by addressing security and regulatory compliance from the start on enterprise hybrid cloud environments.

In our previous post on API Gateways we discussed how services handle external client to service(North-South) traffic. When it comes to dealing with service to service(East-West) traffic it is common to implement a Service Mesh.

AWS S3 Server Access logs provide detailed records for requests made to S3 buckets. They’re useful for many applications. For example, access log information can be useful in security and access audits. It can also help generate customer insights and better understand your Amazon S3 bill. Coralogix makes it easy to integrate with your S3 server access logs via a Lambda function.

What's a gateway? It is an entry point. Things go in. People, traffic, requests. If you've spent any time with microservices, you may have come across the term "API gateway". While not unique to microservices, the API gateway's popularity has grown in the time since their rise. So what exactly is an API gateway?

Bearer's co-founders Guillaume and Cédric are big advocates for remote work. Both have written about the advantages and challenges in the past on the Bearer Blog, but today I want to share some thoughts from our team on what it's like working for a distributed, fully remote company. A few main trends came up. Some expected, and a few surprising.

2019 has been a year of metamorphosis for Gravitational. We started over four years ago as a group of infrastructure engineers who were frustrated with the complexity of cloud application delivery. We wanted cloud apps to be as easy to distribute as desktop software is. It was a big year for our team.

The cloud has changed how we use and consume IT services. Where data resides along with how it is transferred, stored and processed has fundamentally changed and with-it new risk management challenges. Let’s talk about some of those challenges. First and foremost, the cat is out of the bag. We’re not going back to the data center, and any resistance to that is going to be seen as a business inhibitor and will therefore not get much airtime.

How resilient is your application? Maybe you've set up a suite of logging tools, an APM, and tests to handle all your own code. What happens when a third-party API goes down? What happens when it stays up, but slows down to the point that your dependent services start to fail? Finding a modern application that doesn't rely on third-party APIs is rare, particularly with the abundance of social login and sharing.

One sunny morning, my breakfast was interrupted by a phone call from a friend who is an entrepreneur engaged in the transportation of various goods. He said that $11,000 disappeared from his bank account during the night. The bank support service could not help. They advised my friend to report this incident to the police. The money transfers were made using the mobile application and confirmed via SMS. Everything looked like completely legal financial transactions.
