In this Networking Field Day #NFD36 article, Sulagna Saha discusses how Arista Networks’ #CloudVision offers real-time network monitoring to address visibility and data granularity challenges that traditional tools like SNMP cannot. By leveraging Arista Networks’ Extensible Operating System (EOS), CloudVision streams state changes with sub-second precision, enabling predictive analytics, historical comparisons, and advanced troubleshooting. Highlighting its integrated approach, CloudVision combines flow and control plane data to deliver unmatched insights, making it a powerful solution for modern network management while complementing existing tools.

We saw a great presentation from Heroku at App Dev Field Day #ADFD2 colocated at #KubeCon and #CloudNativeCon! Heroku, a leader in #PaaS, simplifies app development by managing infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment and #scalability for businesses. Julián Duque showcased key features like dynos, auto-scaling, metrics dashboards, and integrations with Heroku Postgres and Salesforce, while Chris Peterson highlighted future plans such as enhanced #networking, .NET support, and updates to the 12-Factor App Manifesto to address modern development needs. With Betty Junod guiding its strategic direction, Heroku continues to empower developers by abstracting complexity, fostering innovation, and delivering reliable, cloud-native solutions.

We saw an introduction to Codiac at App Dev Field Day #ADFD2 colocated at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon! CEO and Cofounder Mark Freydl introduced Codiac, a platform designed to simplify #DevOps workflows by reducing friction in communication, deployment, and infrastructure management for SREs and development teams. Featuring a “build once, configure on deploy” approach, Codiac streamlines containerized application management across environments, automates tasks like scaling and ingress management, and supports snapshot deployments for consistent multi-service releases. Demonstrated by former Field Day delegate Michael Levan, the platform abstracts #Kubernetes complexities with features like a drag-and-drop interface, dynamic configuration per environment, and seamless cluster migrations, enabling developers to focus on value delivery rather than technical overhead. Codiac’s extensible design and user-friendly tools make it a powerful solution for modern DevOps challenges. Watch this introduction and more on the Tech Field Day website or on YouTube!

We saw SOUTHWORKS present at App Dev Field Day #ADFD2, colocated at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon! CTO Johnny Halife discussed how the company helps clients transition to multi-cloud environments and cloud-native solutions, emphasizing a cloud-agnostic approach to optimize performance, reduce costs, and ensure flexibility. He shared examples of complex migrations, such as shifting businesses to SaaS models using Kubernetes and streamlining multi-region operations with tools like Terraform and Argo, highlighting SOUTHWORKS’ role in building resilient and scalable solutions. By leveraging open-source tools and creating abstraction layers, SOUTHWORKS enables clients to integrate services from multiple cloud providers while fostering long-term independence through knowledge sharing and team integration.

In this Networking Field Day #NFD36 article, Sulagna Saha discusses how Itential’s new Automation-as-a-Service #AaaS solution aims to simplify and operationalize infrastructure automation at scale. Highlighting challenges like siloed scripts and lack of accessibility, Itential’s offering enables #NetDevOps and Operations teams to share and execute automation workflows with minimal effort. Powered by Itential #Automation Gateway, the solution provides dynamic execution environments, Git integration, and role-based access control, transforming automation into a collaborative, self-service process.
