Autoscaling Azure MySql Server using Azure Automation

Azure automation is a cloud service that helps in automating management tasks thereby saving time and preventing errors. We can also use Azure automation for several other tasks in the cloud as well, for on-premises configuration items. Don’t wait for a traffic spike to take down your app or site. With Scheduled AutoScale, you can respond before anything happens.

We had a standalone MySQL server that was running in production. When the workload used to increase/decrease, we had to manually increase/decrease the SKU tier. The process seemed hectic and time-consuming. That’s why we thought of autoscaling the MySQL server which led to better performance of the MySQL server and saved our time.

In this blog, I have explained how to set up an Azure automation account, create a runbook, publish a runbook, scheduling, etc.

Using TruffleHog Utility in Your Jenkins Pipeline

Introduction

This is a quick blog on how we can use the TruffleHog utility in our Jenkins pipeline to search for the secrets, passwords, sensitive keys which may have been accidentally committed in our repositories.

TruffleHog proves to be a great tool in helping us to fetch the sensitive data from our repositories which we do not want to expose at any cost.

Before moving further with this blog, I would like you all to take a look at the prerequisites that are mentioned below.

Enable Support to Provision GP3 Volumes in Storage Class

No matter where organizations are in their cloud journey, cloud cost optimization remains an essential and top-priority concern. As organizations align increasing workloads to the cloud in terms of size there is a high possibility to lose sight of the overall cloud environment and the costs associated with it. Therefore, it’s essential to optimize cloud costs so as to maximise return over investment (ROI). With the same concern we were working towards reducing the cost of provisioned storage for one our clients. This post covers a particularly interesting issue around the same.

Monthly Newsletter (June’21)

Hello from OpsTree

A niche Cloud & DevSecOps transformation partner!

We are a huge fan of Kubernetes, Microservices & all things DevSecOps. Here, in this monthly newsletter, we share our learnings and experiences with these technologies.

The Challenges of a Microservices Journey

Microservices can save us from ‘we sail together or sink together’ paradigm of Monoliths. But with the increased modularity and a promise of faster time-to-market, comes along a unique set of challenges. While failures are inevitable, we can either plan to ring-fence them OR allow them to create a domino effect! Read more..

A Comparison Between Various Container Orchestration Services! (ECS vs Kubernetes)

Container adoption is significantly increasing across various modern use cases, but it’s not a simple plug-and-play. Adopting containers becomes highly complicated, especially when it comes to executing them at scale as most enterprises have only limited skills and capabilities.

Many leading companies believe that Kubernetes is the first step to building scalable modern applications and they are adopting K8s to overcome container adoption barriers.

Spotify is one of these. Leveraging Kubernetes benefits, Spotify has observed significant cost-saving values as described in this case study. It has seen 2-3x CPU utilization by using the orchestration capabilities of K8s, resulting in better spend optimization.
