VMblog speaks with Tehama during the IGEL Disrupt 2020 event in Nashville, TN.

Tehama provides compliant and secure virtual desktops on the cloud, enabling enterprises to quickly onboard, scale, manage, and audit a global workforce. Tehama is a cloud-based SaaS solution that provides all the IT infrastructure needed for enterprises to connect, leverage, and grow global teams securely. With Tehama, enterprises quickly connect with increased security through virtual and secured perimeters that extend zero-trust network access to global employees and 3rd-party IT services providers. The Tehama platform reduces the risk of malware intrusion into corporate networks from remote devices.

IGEL Technology has created a much needed End User Computing event called DISRUPT.  This year, the event will take place in Nashville for its North America event (January 27-29th, 2020) and in Munich for its EMEA event (February 4-6, 2020).

In this video interview, Simon Townsend, IGEL's CMO, gives viewers a nice background on the DISRUPT event, and talks about this year's focus.  Watch and find out what attendees can expect to hear and learn from the events this year, get a sneak peek at some of the hot topics that will be discussed, learn about which sponsors and key speakers will be presenting at the show, and hear other reasons why you should be attending.

VMblog visits Morpheus during #KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

The company is helping organizations to solve governance, policies, security, automation and self-service around multi-cloud and multi-platform environments.

Morpheus has recently added Kubernetes and Ansible support to provide a deeper, system-agnostic automation and control product for an organization’s infrastructure.

VMblog visits the DivvyCloud booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

DivvyCloud software is designed to be agentless and standalone. You can apply it to any computing environment - public cloud or private software-defined infrastructure. The way DivvyCloud interacts with the host environment and Kubernetes is by way of their respective APIs. DivvyCloud continuously interacts with the APIs to gather information about the state of the hosts and the Kubernetes clusters of interest. These hosts can be Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, or a private data center that can expose infrastructure information via an API.

Once DivvyCloud is set up and targeted at the relevant host and Kubernetes clusters, it starts pulling down data about the environments - servers, security groups, load balancers, network-attached stores, S3 buckets, and any resource that is exposed via an API. This information is then unified into a single data model that represents the infrastructure and represents containment holistically.

VMblog visits the Weaveworks booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

As the inventors of GitOps, Weaveworks demonstrated how GitOps helps a company manage and build applications on Kubernetes. With Git at the center of the operational model, application developers and cluster operators can easily spin up and manage production ready Kubernetes across different environments.

When a cluster configuration is stored in a Git repository, you can then use GitOps to recreate clusters in a predictable way. This brings advantages for building test environments and pipelines, and for reproducing clusters across teams with the same base configuration, or in improving your disaster recovery capability.

VMblog visits the Kasten booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

Kasten is tackling Day 2 data management challenges to help enterprises confidently run applications on Kubernetes. Kasten K10, a data management platform purpose-built for Kubernetes, provides enterprise operations teams an easy-to-use, scalable, and secure system for backup/restore, disaster recovery, and mobility with unparalleled operational simplicity.

VMblog visits the Chef booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

Corey Scobie, CTO at Chef, shares information about the NEW Chef and describes how they work with Kubernetes. Scobie also talks about Chef open sourcing 100% of its offerings under the Apache 2 license.

Watch the demo of Chef Habitat which enables modern application teams to build, deploy, and run any application in any environment – from traditional data-centers to containerised microservices.  Chef Habitat provides built-in support for service discovery, configuration management, supervision, monitoring & health checks, rolling updates, deployment topologies, strict dependency management, and cross platform constituency.

VMblog visits the Wallarm booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

Moving Kubernetes into production reliably and fast relies on security designed for the cloud. Wallarm Cloud-Native WAF delivers native security which scales with K8s and adds little if any latency.

The company showcased demos of kubernetes-native security with Wallarm delivering security automation in development (integrated in CI/CD) as well as run-time.

VMblog visits the Sauce Labs booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego. Sauce

Headless is all about facilitating shift-left motion. It enables development teams to get fast feedback on code and increase build efficiency by running atomic tests wherever they're needed, but especially early in the delivery pipeline. It works by leveraging headless Chrome and Firefox browsers on Linux in a Kubernetes, container-based environment. In other words, you can now put the theory behind shift-left testing into practice and test on every commit. Then you pair that with full cross-browser testing at the end of the development process, and you've got a truly holistic testing strategy.
