**Bill Shock:** The act of opening your cloud bill and experiencing the five stages of grief— denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Bill Shock happens to the best of us, that is why it is essential to have a cloud cost management provider that you can rely on. CCM providers can help teams avoid the aforementioned issue by alerting us of anomalous spend, checking our instances to make sure resources are being appropriated correctly, and recommending various optimizations for our workloads.

This buyer’s guide will evaluate the leading CCM vendors on:

- Tagging Hygiene Requirements
- Ability to Provide Granular Visibility (down to the microservice)
- Ability to View Kubernetes Cost
- and Anomaly Detection

The Cloud Cost Management Buyer’s Guide

Taking a look at where major DevOps trends are headed, a common theme across many tools and practices is improving the Developer Experience.

One paradigm of thinking is that if you improve your internal customer experience, your external customers will benefit. The Developer Experience has been quite siloed/segregated for a multitude of reasons, such as scaling or having best-of-breed technologies to support individual concerns.

In this eBook, we’ll cover:

- How to measure the developer experience,
- What a good developer experience looks like,
- Best experiences when building & deploying software,
- Importance of experimentation, and much more.

Continuous Delivery Insights 2020

To achieve true Continuous Delivery teams need to leverage end-to-end automation across their deployment pipelines and tooling.



Deployment health checks today involve someone pinging the production app and saying "yep, the app is still up, everything is OK". In short, availability = success.



In reality, availability doesn't equal success, and the only way to get a true measure is to have multiple engineers sniff test production by grep'ing logs or looking at monitoring charts. It's not unusual for teams to have 4-5 engineers spend 60-120 mins per deployment to make sure everything is OK.



What if AI/ML could automate this process? This session will take a look at some of the machine learning techniques you can apply to automate deployment verification and health checks.

Your CI/CD pipeline is the main conduit to get your ideas into production. Unlike design patterns with programming languages that can be almost identical between organizations, CI/CD pipelines can be incredibly unique to each team.

At Harness, we analyzed over 100 customer pipelines to start to build patterns on how best-in-class DevOps teams are delivering their CI/CD pipelines. In this webinar, we will go over what we observed and what can be learned from peer organizations.

In conjunction with a recent book we published at Harness, we will be going over the top five most popular patterns.

This Presentation will cover:

- How patterns evolve to fit the needs of the organization
- Conway’s law can still be influential in how CI/CD pipelines are crafted
- The level of automation is up to you and organizational risk

## Webinar Overview:
Software delivery helps organizations and teams get their changes out to customers quickly, a part that often gets left out is how we ensure quality and reduce the risk of deployments. Delivering changes quickly does not need to be at odds with not breaking things.

Progressive delivery is a practice that builds on the capabilities of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) to help you deliver with control.

Join this webinar session to learn about progressive delivery as we share the ways organizations are using it today.

CI/CD is at the core of software delivery. Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. Yin and Yang. Salt and Pepper. The two go hand-in-hand and simply must co-exist in order to push high-quality software into production. Unfortunately, organizations are too fixated on CI or CD and don’t pay enough attention to truly balanced CI/CD pipelines. 

In this interactive panel webinar, we will explore the concept of true CI/CD with leaders in DevOps and Engineering. Join us as we discuss and debate the challenges and opportunities presented by modern software delivery. Pose your questions and take part in polls to share your views with our expert panel.

Get your biggest software delivery questions answered, including:
- What is DevOps in 2021?
- What is the difference between CI and CD? Are they the same thing?
- What are the biggest barriers to adoption of modern software delivery tools today?

What is CI/CD?

Kubernetes has become the gold standard as far as Software Delivery goes. However, as more and more teams start building K8s into their infrastructure, they’re quickly realizing that shiny new toys come at a cost.

At Harness, we believe that you should be able to build powerful delivery processes quickly and cloud cost should be a non-issue. Join us for a conversation around K8s in the context of cloud costs and spikes and we’ll dive into everything you need to know.

Watch to learn:

- How to obtain all the resources you need to build high performing apps without batting an eye at cost concerns
- How you can build predictable cloud usage into your org and know exactly what to expects

Securing CI/CD Pipelines with HashiCorp and Harness

Software delivery is a top priority for organizations that own software, yet it remains one of the most challenging problems enterprises face today.

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are software practices that allow organizations and teams to deliver code to customers quickly, safely, and repeatedly. Whether it’s to improve development, operations or security, CI/CD pipelines give engineers and teams more time to work on things that matter and less time struggling with the risk, standards, and velocity of deployments.

Join this Presentation to learn about:

- Common CI/CD problems and how to solve them
- The ecosystem of CI/CD platforms and solutions
- How to simplify and scale software delivery

More and more Enterprise companies are turning to multi-cloud architectures to combat high cloud costs, vendor lock-in, and improve uptime for their customers. Gartner found that more than 81% of organizations running in the cloud use two or more public cloud providers. However, successfully pulling off multi-cloud architecture can take multiple tools and dedicated engineers, which often slows teams down.



Harness recently announced continued support for multi-cloud customers through our recent cloud updates for AWS GovCloud, Microsoft Azure, and GCP. It is easier now than ever to consolidate the build, deploy, verification, and cost management into a single, streamlined platform.



Join our upcoming session with Harness PM, Rohan Gupta, for an inside look at our recent updates including:



<ul><li>New cloud support for Azure and GCP</li><li>Upcoming plans and continued support for cloud-based customers</li></ul>

Cloud Momentum: From Azure to GCP

Finance leaders need to be able to understand the impact that cloud has on the business. Not only that, but they also need to dive into the cost drivers for customers vs R&D. This is a challenge that John Bonney (CFO) and Jeff Merlin (Head of Strategic Finance), wrestled with too.

During this webinar, John & Jeff will share how their finance team asked - and worked toward answers to - questions such as:
- What is our cost per developer in the cloud?
- What is our cost per dollar of revenue?
- What are my potential vs realized cost savings?
- How efficiently are we utilizing our Reserved Instances (RIs)?
- How much could we save on non-production (R&D) cloud resources?

Join us on Thursday, September 23rd at 9:30 am PT for a 30min webinar with live Q&A. This is a can't miss for cloud ops & finance leaders alike. Register today to save your seat!
