Canonical Edge Demo - AWS Deployment

Microk8s cluster deployment on AWS via CAPI In this demo, we will be deploying a microk8s cluster on AWS. The cluster consists of 3 control plane and 3 worker nodes. The deployment is performed using Cluster API (CAPI). For the full demo, join us at MWC Barcelona 2023 where you'll be able to see Spectro Cloud's Palette automation engine deploying and managing Canonical's MicroK8s Kubernetes distribution on Ubuntu OS with real-time kernel. Witness the capabilities to create, scale, upgrade, and destroy Kubernetes clusters, with demonstrations on AWS and Edge use cases.

Strategies for Kubernetes Cluster Administrators: Understanding Pod Scheduling

Kubernetes has revolutionized container orchestration, allowing developers to deploy and manage applications at scale. However, as the complexity of a Kubernetes cluster grows, managing resources such as CPU and memory becomes more challenging. Efficient pod scheduling is critical to ensure optimal resource utilization and enable a stable and responsive environment for applications to run in.

How to Create and Manage Secrets in Kubernetes

Kubernetes Secrets are a built-in resource type that's used to store sensitive data. This blog teaches you how to work with Secrets in Kubernetes. Kubernetes can do many things, but we usually refer to it as a “container orchestrator.” Orchestrating containers means starting and restarting them when needed, ensuring their configuration matches the declared state, and autoscaling them. But Kubernetes can do much more than that.

Automate Your Deployments on Kubernetes Using GitHub Workflows and JFrog Artifactory Custom Webhooks

Full automation makes your Continuous Deployment (CD) faster, seamless and less error prone. For example, triggering the deployment of your Helm Chart when a Docker image is pushed to production. The latest JFrog Artifactory release makes this easy! With a new Custom Webhook feature that enables a direct integration with a variety of services such as Gitlab Pipelines, Jenkins and GitHub Actions.

D2iQ Kubernetes Platform + Aerospike Real-Time Data Platform: Build Once, Scale Forever

D2iQ and Aerospike have partnered to help developers and data architects spend less time managing and maintaining their infrastructure and more time delivering mission-critical applications that provide business value at scale. The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator has been certified on the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) to enable organizations to efficiently deploy and operate Aerospike clusters. Aerospike is a high-performance NoSQL database that enables high-speed data processing at scale.

Master Kubernetes Monitoring with these Must-Track Metrics

Managing a Kubernetes cluster requires a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of its complex structure. To ensure smooth operation of your applications and optimal performance, it is vital to monitor a wide range of metrics across the different components of your cluster. In this article, we will discuss key metrics that can be used to monitor both self-managed and cloud-managed Kubernetes environments, helping you to keep your cluster running at its best.

Securing a DKP Cluster - Logging, Monitoring, & Compliance

This video discusses securing your D2iQ Kubernetes Platform clusters, and the importance of Logging, Monitoring, and Compliance to cluster security. Join Lauren to learn why she says, "...If you don't know what your assets are, where they are, and how they are performing in real-time, you have no hopes of securing your cluster!"

Scripting vs Automation: Which way is best?

Here at D2iQ we feel your pain! In a fast-paced world where doing your day to day is hard enough, understanding why you would want to automate, yet alone finding the time, is a daunting challenge. Check out this short video to see some of the benefits and why putting in that up-front expense to get to true Cloud Native development and operations is worth the effort and pays off well in the future.
