Using Codefresh to Deploy a Windows Server Application to Google Kubernetes Engine

While Kubernetes has been traditionally used with Linux workloads, the desire to run Windows applications is an important need for many organizations that have critical applications running on Windows Server. Docker has already offered support for native Windows containers, so the next missing piece would be Windows node support in Kubernetes clusters. Google Cloud has recognized this gap and is now offering Windows support for Kubernetes clusters.

The Pain of Infrequent Deployments, Release Trains and Lengthy Sprints

One of the most critical metrics when it comes to the software delivery process is deployment frequency, which measures how often releases are happening in production. While in theory all organizations should strive to deploy as often as possible, in practice the benefits for frequent deployments are often overlooked or buried under endless technical debates.

Making the Business Case for DevOps

Engineering and “the business” don’t always speak the same language. That’s why in this blog post and webinar, we want to show you how to bridge the gap using the language “the business” understands: cold hard cash. When talking to the business value, here are four areas that DevOps provide value for your organization with associated calculators so you can get an exact value to share with your organization.
