post icon Cloudogu EcoSystem documentation (docs)

07/28/2021 Philipp Ahrendt in EcoSystem

Cloudogu EcoSystem documentation (docs)

The principle of good software is to present as many complex relationships as possible in an easily understandable way. Thus, our Cloudogu EcoSystem looks pretty simple even though it hides extensive operations under the surface. Nevertheless, the Cloudogu EcoSystem provides a surprising number of user interfaces. Even though we observe usability conventions to the best of our ability, yet some functionality requires explanation. Therefore, we decided to build a comprehensive, public documentation and guide as docs.cloudogu.com.

DevOps Basics (1/2): Advantages & Best Practices

Shortly after you first start learning about DevOps, it becomes clear that there is no single clear definition of the term. It is not, as is often assumed, a tool or a programming language. Rather, to put it in a nutshell, it is a collection of procedures, practices, and methods to deliver new software features faster. The aim is therefore to shorten the time from the idea phase to publication in order to create satisfied customers.

IT compliance in practice – correctly containing and deleting data and projects in B2B software development

Since compliance is about adhering to regulations of any kind, this is very complex and individual issue. That's why this post will be dealing with a very specific topic: the deletion of data when the contract ends. In B2B software development, it is customary for contracts to contain a clause on the delivery or destruction of all records and documents related to the project.

Docs As Code – Continuous Delivery of Presentations with reveal.js and Jenkins – Part 2

The first part of this series demonstrated the use cases and benefits of delivering presentations with reveal.js. They are Docs As Code, and therefore they can be subjected to versioning management and of course delivered via Continuous Delivery. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the Jenkins pipelines can be used to deploy to GitHub Pages using a model concrete implementation. This article demonstrates additional alternatives for deployment (Sonatype Nexus and Kubernetes), while the general structure of the `Jenkinsfile` remains the same.

Docs As Code – Continuous Delivery of Presentations with reveal.js and Jenkins – Part 1

Reveal.js allows software developers to use web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) to deploy slides for presentations and to display them in the browser. This eliminates the dreaded mouse-driven excursion into the world of PowerPoint/Impress, with its incompatibilities between Microsoft Office, Libre/OpenOffice, problems with Linux, and exclusive access requirements to make editing changes.

post icon Minimize administration effort

Minimize administration effort

It is curious that in the field of software development, in which developers create something new every day, the "never change a running system" approach is very widely followed when it comes to the underlying toolchain. Downtime is too expensive, whether something goes wrong when updating an important system and the developers are unable to work for some period of time or if even the most recent work status is lost. This post compares the required effort for the installation and the operation of a toolchain for three different scenarios.

post icon Private Software Development Cloud

Private Software Development Cloud

Due to the recent announcement of the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft and the (sometimes very emotional) discussions about possible ramifications, it becomes obvious that people, teams or companies use services like GitHub for many different reasons. That is because they all have different prerequisites and requirements. GitHub hosts code for 100% Open Source developers as well as for companies with private repositories only and everything in between.

Source Code Management with SCM-Manager

Over the years we talked a lot about SCM-Manager, but we never officially introduced it as one of the Cloudogu EcoSystem. Since SCM-Manager had its 6th anniversary not long ago, we want to catch up on that.We mentioned SCM-Manager the first time about 4 years ago, when the current version was 1.28. These days version 1.52 was released. That is reason enough to give an update on SCM-Manager, to sum up the changes and improvements that were made in the meantime.
