With the introduction of Database Savings Plans during the keynote to the updates soft launched the week prior, these updates were about fixing long-standing challenges in how cloud costs are committed, shared, and charged back..

As the preferred mechanism for managing external access to services, the Gateway API offers greater expressiveness, role-based configuration, and better standardization. For those looking to future-proof their Kubernetes deployments, migrating from the Ingress API is a necessary and beneficial journey. The Bitnami Secure Images (BSI) catalog provides several Gateway API implementations, including Apache APISIX , Envoy Gateway , Contour , Kong , and NGINX Gateway Fabric ...

By Álvaro Neira and Gonzalo Gómez What is Dynamic FIPS Feature? Hardened Bitnami Secure Images (BSI) are delivered with comprehensive FIPS preparation, including OpenSSL FIPS and compatible runtime configurations. While this ensures high security, we realized that a hard default could inadvertently restrict users who don't require FIPS compliance. This might impact the experience of using Bitnami Secure Images due to friction with FIPS for products that do not require it. To address this, our Dynamic FIPS Feature was developed, empowering users to easily configure FIPS mode levels directly within their containers and Helm charts, optimizing for ...

It starts innocently enough: A new team adopts Jira, another prefers Azure DevOps, engineering wants to standardize on Rally, finance insists on Clarity, and IT leans on ServiceNow. Before you know it, you’ve created a monster—the Tooling Creep—a tangled, ever-growing beast that drains productivity, obscures visibility, and devours budgets. The horror of tooling chaos Like any good horror story, tooling creep thrives in the shadows. Leaders can’t see across initiatives. Teams duplicate effort. Reports ...
