Tools are:
1. Ctrlplane
Ctrlplane is an open-source tool that simplifies deploying software across different cloud providers, regions, and services like Kubernetes, cloud functions, and VMs. It provides a single platform to manage the entire deployment process, from initial testing to final release. With Ctrlplane, you can automate complex environment policies ensuring that your deployments are secure and reliable.
Furthermore, Ctrlplane integrates seamlessly with popular CI/CD tools like GitLab, Jenkins and GitLab CI, allowing you to trigger deployments automatically as part of your development pipeline. By streamlining and automating your deployments with Ctrlplane, you can reduce errors, improve collaboration, and get your software to market faster.
2. Git Secret
git-secret is a command-line tool that allows you to securely store sensitive information, such as passwords and API keys, directly within your git repository. It works by encrypting these files using the public keys of authorized users. This means that only those individuals with the corresponding private key can decrypt and access the hidden data.
git-secret simplifies the process of managing access to these secrets. Adding or revoking someone's access is as easy as adding or removing their public key from the repository. When someone's access is revoked, you simply remove their key and re-encrypt the secret files. This ensures that even if they have a local copy of the repository, they will no longer be able to decrypt the sensitive information.
3. Kubecolor
kubecolor is a simple but effective tool that makes your Kubernetes command-line experience more visually appealing. It acts as a wrapper around kubectl, adding color to the output without altering the functionality of the commands themselves. This makes it easier to read and understand the information displayed in your terminal, especially when dealing with complex Kubernetes resources. To use it, you can alias kubecolor to kubectl in your .bash_profile, effectively replacing the standard kubectl output with a colorized version for any command you run.
4. Digger
Digger simplifies Terraform management by integrating it directly into your existing CI/CD pipeline. Instead of relying on separate and potentially costly Terraform management platforms, Digger leverages your current CI system's resources for running Terraform commands. This means you can manage your infrastructure without leaving your familiar CI environment, streamlining your workflow and keeping your cloud credentials secure within your own infrastructure.
With Digger, you can execute Terraform plans and apply changes directly from pull requests, utilize your CI's runners, and enforce policies with Open Policy Agent (OPA). It supports various Terraform workflows, including Terragrunt and workspaces, and offers features like drift detection and PR-level locking to prevent conflicts. By eliminating the need for a separate system, Digger provides a more efficient, cost-effective, and secure approach to managing your Terraform infrastructure.
5. SigNoz
SigNoz is a comprehensive open-source platform that provides a unified solution for monitoring and observability, combining logs, metrics, and traces in a single tool. Built on the open standard OpenTelemetry, SigNoz eliminates vendor lock-in and offers correlated data for efficient debugging. By leveraging ClickHouse as its datastore, SigNoz ensures high-speed performance and optimized storage for your observability data.
SigNoz offers flexibility in querying your data with options like a DIY query builder, PromQL, and ClickHouse queries. Whether you prefer the open-source version, their cloud service, or a hybrid approach, SigNoz adapts to your specific needs and provides a powerful platform for understanding and optimizing your applications.
