Kubernetes Jobs Deployment Strategies in Continuous Delivery Scenarios

Continuous Delivery (CD) frameworks for Kubernetes, like the one created by Rancher with Fleet, are quite robust and easy to implement. Still, there are some rough edges you should pay attention to. Jobs deployment is one of those scenarios where things may not be straightforward, so you may need to stop and think about the best way to process them. We’ll explain here the challenges you may face and will give some tips about how to overcome them.

Monitoring Kubernetes with Hosted Graphite by MetricFire

In this article, we will be looking into Kubernetes monitoring with Graphite and Grafana. Specifically, we will look at how your whole Kubernetes set-up can be centrally monitored through Hosted Graphite and Hosted Grafana dashboards. This will allow Kubernetes Administrators to centrally manage all of their Kubernetes clusters without setting up any additional infrastructure for monitoring.

Kubernetes alternatives to Spring Java framework

Spring Cloud and Kubernetes both complement each other to build a cloud native platform and run microservices on the Kubernetes containers. Kubernetes provides many features which are similar to Spring Cloud and Spring Config Server features. Spring framework has been around for many years.

One way to release these bottlenecks and free up resources is by using automation.

Meet Epinio: The Application Development Engine for Kubernetes

Epinio is a Kubernetes-powered application development engine. Adding Epinio to your cluster creates your own platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution in which you can deploy apps without setting up infrastructure yourself. Epinio abstracts away the complexity of Kubernetes so you can get back to writing code. Apps are launched by pushing their source directly to the platform, eliminating complex CD pipelines and Kubernetes YAML files.
