Software Infrastructure (DevOps)

ARM template

A way to define cloud resources using text files so infrastructure can be created and updated automatically. It is mainly used in Azure to manage Cloud Computing resources in a consistent way.

AzureFlow

A workflow solution designed to help manage and automate processes in Azure environments. It focuses on simplifying complex cloud operations and data movement.

Kubeflow

A platform that helps deploy and manage machine learning workflows on Kubernetes. It is designed to make ML systems easier to scale and operate.

Flyte

A workflow platform designed to manage complex data and machine learning pipelines. It helps teams run, monitor, and scale workflows reliably.

Temporal

A workflow engine designed to run reliable, long-running processes. It helps manage failures and retries in microservices systems.

Tekton

A framework for building CI/CD pipelines using cloud-native components. It is commonly used with Kubernetes.

Helm

A package manager that helps install and manage applications on Kubernetes. It simplifies deployment using reusable templates.

Kustomize

A tool that helps customize Kubernetes configurations without changing the original files. It is often used alongside Kubernetes deployments.

Crossplane

A framework that lets teams manage cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes-style APIs. It enables infrastructure and services to be treated as code.

OpenTelemetry

A set of tools and standards for collecting traces, metrics, and logs from applications. It helps teams observe and monitor distributed systems.

Redpanda

A streaming platform designed to handle real time data efficiently. It is often used as an alternative to traditional message brokers in event driven systems.

Tilt

A development tool that helps run and manage local environments for cloud native applications. It is often used with Kubernetes.

LXD

A system container manager designed to run full Linux environments. It provides a lightweight alternative to virtual machines.

GitHub Actions

A tool that helps automate software workflows such as testing and deployment. It is tightly integrated with GitHub repositories.

Observability

A practice that focuses on understanding system behavior using logs, metrics, and traces. It is essential for operating distributed systems.

NATS

A messaging system designed for fast communication between services. It is commonly used in distributed systems.

Graylog

A log management platform used to collect search and analyze log data. It helps teams monitor systems and investigate issues.

SysOps

A role focused on operating and maintaining IT systems and infrastructure. It often overlaps with DevOps responsibilities.

Karpenter

A tool that automatically provisions compute resources for Kubernetes clusters. It helps scale workloads efficiently based on demand.

Telemetry

A method of collecting and sending system data for monitoring and analysis. It is commonly used in observability and system monitoring.

CodePipeline

A continuous delivery service that automates build test and deployment workflows. It is part of the AWS developer tools ecosystem.

Bitbucket Pipelines

A continuous integration and delivery service built into Bitbucket. It automates build test and deployment workflows.

EFK

A logging stack composed of Elasticsearch Fluentd and Kibana. It is used to collect process and visualize logs.

CKA

A certification that validates skills in administering Kubernetes clusters. It is widely recognized in DevOps roles.

ADFS

Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), a software component developed by Microsoft, can run on Windows Server operating systems to provide users with single sign-on access to systems and applications located across organizational boundaries.
