How to craft a future-proof enterprise container strategy
There are many ways to plan an IT container management strategy. Follow these steps to map out an enterprise's needs for container software and tools.
More Highlights
- Add shadow IT applications to the official DevOps toolchain
Sometimes developers and other IT team members install unapproved apps to fill a gap in the DevOps toolchain. These shadow apps are risky -- but give them a chance.
- How do I manage ACL folder permissions with a PowerShell script?
PowerShell scripts make short work of repetitive Windows tasks, saving admins time, effort and frustration. One simple area admins can manage with scripts is the access control list.
- What are the main features of Ansible vs. Ansible Tower?
