Today’s online businesses find themselves caught in a crossfire: the data generated in their environment are more important than ever in terms of ROIs, but managing them is more difficult than ever as well.

And as more data is created, processed, and analysed in an increasingly complex infrastructure, enterprises and cloud-native organizations now realise the tools that served them well in the past, are out of context and no longer up to the task.

In this show, we dive deep into monitoring & observability best practices going in 2023, which empower cloud engineers, CIOs, CISOs, CTOs and CFOs, and make their life much easier.

Innovative and modern observability platforms use an in-stream analytics engine to decouple real-time insights from indexing and storage: all data analysed in-stream, including logs, metrics, tracing and security - leveraging next generation architecture.

Utilizing these solutions can lead to several benefits, including:
* Proactively detect issues before they turn to troubles
* Real time traffic analytics
* Establishing valuable KPIs
* Lower MTTD/MTTR
* Lower latency
* Higher Conversions.

Are you struggling to effectively test your Terraform infrastructure code? Even the best plans can fail, resulting in half-formed infrastructure that can have serious consequences for your business, such as lost revenue or damage to your reputation due to downtime, security vulnerabilities, operational inefficiencies, and difficulties scaling.

In this webinar, we will introduce an innovative solution to these challenges: TFTest, a Python test helper for Terraform. Using TFTest, you can test your devops-infra-modules with cloud-foundation-fabric as an example and run tests in parallel to speed things up. We will also demonstrate how to generate test reports using pytest-md-report and how to add "CI magic" to automate the testing process.

By watching this webinar, you will learn:

* The importance of testing infrastructure code with Terraform
* How to use TFTest to test your devops-infra-modules
* Techniques for running tests in parallel and generating test reports
* Strategies for testing various configurations and keeping things simple
* How to add "CI magic" to automate the testing process

Follow our series of technical deep dives to stay up-to-date and sharp your DevOps skills.

Testing Infrastructure as Code: How to Solve The Common Challenges

Join us for a technical deep dive into the world of infrastructure as code (IaC), and the role of high-level programming languages in managing complex, agile infrastructure.

We'll be discussing two tools that are at the forefront of this movement: Pulumi and Terraform. These tools allow you to configure and manage your infrastructure using common, flexible languages, enabling you to easily setup and manage your infrastructure from scratch to production.

Whether you're new to IaC, a seasoned DevOps/SRE professional, or an IT leader looking for the latest innovation - this webinar will provide you valuable insights, along hands-on demonstration, presented by GlobalDots' expert DevOps Engineer.

Pulumi VS Terraform: From Scratch to Production

While ransomware attacks keep CISOs awake at night and attract most of the media's attention, cloud security infrastructures face far more threats. 

The bad actors are after your data & your money - it’s a cybercriminals driven world, and they always look for your previous mistake and next vulnerability.

And here's something that is out of scope for many organizations: they tend to act on the preventive side to make sure they don’t have misconfigurations - and they leave the door open to attackers when it comes to runtime observability. 

If you need to up-level your existing cloud security strategy, and optimize both your build time & runtime protection - then this show is for you. Start your journey towards a cloud security strategy that is based on data, analysis, and actionable insights to reduce risk and maximize coverage.

APIs are found at the core of every SaaS, web, mobile, microservices and IoT application. And as API use has exploded, the quantity and exposure of sensitive data has increased. 

With this, API attacks have become more frequent and more complex, making them the number one threat for organizations delivering applications.

APIs today expose application business logic and more sensitive data than ever. Attackers have taken notice, and in recent years, APIs have become the primary target for their efforts.

In this show, we’ll explore the evolutions in the APIs’ attacks surface, and discuss the most innovative methods of protecting your business, using services that automatically discover all your APIs and exposed sensitive data, pinpoint and block attackers, test and scan your APIs during the build phase, and provides remediation insights learned in runtime - so your dev teams can improve your API security posture.

The Strategic Pillars of API Security

Whether your organization is operating on a multi, hybrid or private cloud environment - one thing is certain: if you don't pay enough attention to your Kubernetes networking, your team could encounter significant issues, and spend costly time they don't really have on debugging and fixing.

The Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Container Network Interface (CNI) Plugin of AWS Managed Kubernetes Service, when misconfigured, could cause havoc to businesses in several areas:

* Your end-users might suffer from limited connectivity or no connectivity at all.
* Network policies issues.
* Loss of a significant security layer to your estate.

The good news: all of these are avoidable by deploying AWS VPC CNI best practices.

AWS-VPC-CNI-K8S leverages EC2’s (Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud) ability to provision multiple elastic network interfaces (ENIs) to a host instance, each with multiple secondary IP addresses, to get multiple IPs allocated from the VPC pool. It then hands out these IPs to pods on the host and connects the ENI to the virtual ethernet port (veth) created on the pod.

“Monitoring CDN logs just isn’t worth it", many of you may be saying right now, because log volumes can be costly to store and index, and complex analysis of logs takes precious time. 

Nevertheless, CDN logs data is critical for today's online businesses, including airlines, gaming, eCommerce & marketplaces, streaming, UGC, and media publishers. And recent innovation makes CDN logs monitoring easy and cost effective. There's a solution that will allow you to optimize your business performance and security posture, while reducing observability costs.

Learn how to monitor your CDN logs with:
- Minimal Storage Costs
- Out-of-The-Box Dashboards
- Alerts From Non-Indexed Data

And make your CDN logs work for you.
