While the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted business models around the world, the adoption of modern application and cloud technologies continues to grow. This year’s Continuous Intelligence Report by Sumo Logic provides an inside look into the state of the modern application technology stack, including changing trends in cloud and application adoption and usage by customers, and the impact of COVID-19 as an accelerant for digital transformation efforts.

As cloud infrastructure grows and develops, reliable and safe management of containers across multiple cloud providers grows increasingly important - accelerating the adoption of Kubernetes (K8s). Orchestration technologies like Kubernetes (K8s) automate the deployment and scaling of containers, and they also ensure the reliability of applications and workloads running on containers.

Sumo Logic has reviewed the announced breach on December 8, 2020 by FireEye and their subsequent public release of over 300 countermeasure rules. We are continuing to analyze the available information and would like to share this update to all existing and prospective customers interested in how our Sumo Logic services can assist with this development.

For five years, Sumo Logic has created the Continuous Intelligence Report on the state of modern apps and DevSecOps. New to this year’s report are unique insights into how enterprises are adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic—particularly in terms of security threats.

As digital transformation accelerates across companies of all sizes and industries, knowing in real-time the what, where and why of the issues that affect your digital customer experiences will make or break whether they remain reliable, performant and secure.

Ever since JASK was founded, we have heavily integrated with threat intelligence platforms to gain context into attacker activity through indicators of compromise (IOCs). Now that we have joined Sumo Logic, our customers have the ability to pull in more data than ever making this feature even more powerful.

You probably know that automation is an important component of DevOps. But how do you actually put automation into practice in order to advance the goals of DevOps? Let's answer that question by exploring what automation means in the context of DevOps, why automation is important to DevOps and which processes to prioritize to achieve DevOps automation.

DevOps is an approach to software development and delivery that emphasizes collaboration between different stakeholders. DevOps also places priority on automation and the integration of different tools in a single, well-oiled pipeline.
