By Paul Krill GitHub has introduced Artifact Attestations, a software signing and verification feature based on Sigstore that protects the integrity of software builds in GitHub Actions workflows. Artifiact Attestations is now available in a public beta. Announced May 2, Artifact Attestations allows project maintainers to create a “tamper-proof, unforgeable paper trail” that links software artifacts to the process that created them. “Downstream consumers of this metadata can use it as a foundation for new security and validity checks through policy evaluations via tools like Rego and Cue,” Git...

By Isaac Sacolick Some developers and business leaders believe that low-code is only for small, lightly used applications such as replacing spreadsheets and building dashboards. “These tools, in general, aren’t well suited to more advanced applications,” says Steve Jones, devops advocate at Red Gate Software. With heavier use and more complex data manipulation requirements, he says, “they often start to fail and cause workload and performance issues.” I've used low-code and no-code platforms for over two decades and have written extensively about them, including articles on how generative AI i...

By Simon Bisson Building applications at scale is nothing compared to building an operating system like Windows, especially when it comes to source code control. How do you manage the repository (or repositories) for such a software behemoth, with thousands of developers and testers, and with a complex build pipeline that’s continuously delivering fresh code? Microsoft’s history with internal source control systems is convoluted. You might think it used the now discontinued Visual SourceSafe, but that was most appropriate for local file systems and smaller projects. Instead, Microsoft used man...

By Paul Krill As of the first quarter of 2024, 83% of developers were involved in devops-related activities such as performance monitoring, security testing, or CI/CD, according to the State of CI/CD Report 2024, published by the Continuous Delivery (CD) Foundation, a part of the Linux Foundation. Released April 16, the State of CI/CD Report 2024 is downloadable from the CD Foundation, authored by developer researcher SlashData, and sponsored by CloudBees, provider of a DevSecOps platform. The report also found that less-experienced developers adopt fewer devops practices and technologies, whi...

By Bob Violino Tools that manage changes to source code, programs, documents, or other collections of information are known by a variety of names: version control, revision control, source control, or source code management are all common descriptors. Regardless of what we call them, these systems have become increasingly vital in a world where software and data are essential commodities. Demand for version control systemsVersion control systems (VCS) are used to track every change to source code. They help development teams and others manage these changes over time. As market pressures accele...

By Isaac Sacolick It’s hard to believe that the agile software development methodology officially turned 20 years old last year. What once was an outlying practice for startups collaborating in colocated spaces with stickies and whiteboards is now a sophisticated, scalable, and widely used set of agile software development processes and tools. What is agile software development methodologyThere’s a rich history behind agile software development and why organizations use agile methods such as scrum and kanban to modernize applications, improve customer experience, and implement digital transfor...

By Simon Bisson Kubernetes plays an important role at Microsoft. The container management system is a foundational piece of the company’s many clouds, from Microsoft 365 and Xbox, to Azure, to partners like OpenAI that use Microsoft’s Kubernetes to host their own services. As a result, Microsoft has invented many of its own Kubernetes management tools. These include Kaito for deploying AI inferencing workloads and Fleet for large-scale management of Kubernetes clusters. All of Microsoft’s various tools sit underneath its two managed Kubernetes services, Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure Conta...

By Paul Krill The key benefits of platform engineering are increased developer productivity, better quality of software, reduced lead time for deployment, and more stable applications, according to Puppet by Perforce’s 2024 State of Devops Report: The Evolution of Platform Engineering. The report is based on a survey of 474 participants who work with a platform engineering team at their organizations. The survey was conducted in the summer of 2023. Other benefits cited include cost savings, reduced time for product development, reduced errors, and reduced risk of security breaches. “Security h...

By Roee Alfasi The internet of things (IoT) has transformed the way we interact with the world, connecting a myriad of devices to the internet, from smart thermostats in our homes to industrial sensors in manufacturing plants. A significant portion of these IoT devices relies on the Linux operating system due to its flexibility, robustness, and open-source nature. Deploying software to Linux-based devices, at scale, is a complex and critical process that requires planning, well-thought-out processes, and adherence to best practices to ensure the stability, security, and manageability of the Io...
