 As the world becomes increasingly digitized, the demand for software development has skyrocketed. Developers are under constant pressure to deliver high-quality applications quickly and efficiently, which has led to the rise of DevOps practices. DevOps aims to break down silos between development and operations teams, and streamline the software development lifecycle (SDLC) through automation and collaboration.
However, managing and deploying containerized workloads can be challenging. Developers need to juggle multiple tools and platforms, stay up-to-date with the latest technologies, and keep their deployments running smoothly. This is where Unilogik comes in. Unilogik Systems is hosting a three-part series on Streamlining DevOps with GitLab and OpenShift. The series focuses on how to leverage GitLab and OpenShift to simplify containerized workload deployments and scale modern applications. GitLab Solutions Architect Bart Zhang will cover everything from deploying GitLab on OpenShift to building and deploying app pipelines using GitLab Ci/CD and in-repo constructs. The first session, "Deploying GitLab on OpenShift," will take place on Tuesday, May 9, at 10:00 AM –10:45 AM PDT. This session will cover the process of deploying the GitLab Self-Managed Operator to OpenShift, and basic steps to administer GitLab on OpenShift. The second session, "Deploying GitLab Runner on OpenShift," will take place on Tuesday, May 23, at 10:00 AM –10:45 AM PDT. This session will demonstrate how to deploy a fleet of GitLab Runners to OpenShift by initiating an agent-based connection between GitLab and OpenShift. Participants will also execute several test pipelines leveraging GitLab Runners on OpenShift. The third and final session, "Deploying app build and deploy pipelines to OpenShift from GitLab," will take place on Thursday, June 8, at 10:00 – 10:45 AM PDT. This session will cover how to build pipelines that deploy workloads to OpenShift leveraging GitLab Ci/CD and in-repo constructs to support an end user application hosted on OpenShift. Together, Unilogik Systems and Red Hat OpenShift enable organizations to build, deploy, and manage cloud-native applications with greater agility, scalability, and efficiency. Red Hat OpenShift brings together tested and trusted services to reduce the friction of developing, modernizing, deploying, running, and managing applications. With GitLab and OpenShift, developers can simplify their workload deployments and gain greater agility, scalability, and efficiency.

Author: Jon CorchisManager of Solutions Architecture, Unilogik Systems Inc. After spending time with several clients, I see a common gap in their monitoring solutions – siloed data. Each team, department or project generated its own application and infrastructure observability data with no common way to look at the data across the organization. Not only was the data siloed, but the data's type and granularity are different. Under these conditions, problem diagnosis of operational issues becomes difficult and time-consuming. Read on if you have been part of a swat team trying to figure out why there is an application issue late at night.  Change in an organization normally comes in three forms: People, Process and Technology.
In most cases, the teams are doing what’s right for them in terms of data collection, monitoring, alerts and support. However, if enterprise thinking is lost the Tragedy of the Commons applies. This gap clearly falls on Enterprise Architecture to provide an organizational strategy for observability. Included in that strategy is standard tooling to accomplish its objectives. One such tool that I am excited about is Dynatrace. With Dynatrace enterprises can quickly evolve their observability maturity. Install Dynatrace OneAgent on your key application hosts and Dynatrace will be able to provide a unified view of your full stack almost immediately. After several days of running Dynatrace will have a good picture of your application load and be able to identify saturation issues. Most importantly Dynatrace’s Root Cause Analysis is second to none – just ask Forrester or Gardner. These features alone go a long way in helping organizations meet their “do more with less” objective. There are so many other important features in Dynatrace that cannot be covered in a short article. If your organization is familiar with the pain points mentioned above and you are ready to evolve, reach out to [email protected] and ask for a demonstration. |
