While Devops typically deals with a flow
from Dev to PROD (code Deploys), there is a little done to support
a limited data flow in the opposite direction - to provide info
for the developers about non-sensitive data from PROD -
performance metrics, configs, log files, volumetry. Because RDP, solutions like CA
PAM or even read-only access to a database can expose
sensitive data such access is very limited and requires approval,
even in most cases the developers need access to a few minor
things to investigate the problems and improve the performance.
"Bell - action at distance" is an open source solution to
facilitate such access to higher environments. Check MISSION
about to get more information.
