The Difficulties of Measuring Engineering

The report is so absurd and naive that it makes no sense to critique it in detail. - Kent Beck responding to the McKinsey Report. Luckily this was a hollow threat, because a few days later he and fellow blogger Gergely Orosz released a two part blog series critiquing not exactly Mckinsey's report but... any report that tried to put “effort based” metrics at the top of the list for things to track.

Announcing the Harvester v1.2.0 Release

Ten months have elapsed since we launched Harvester v1.1 back in October of last year. Harvester has since become an integral part of the Rancher platform, experiencing substantial growth within the community while gathering valuable user feedback along the way. Our dedicated team has been hard at work incorporating this feedback into our development process, and today, I am thrilled to introduce Harvester v1.2.0!

Container Network Observability

Justin Ryburn describes the complexities of managing the network in a modern Kubernetes deployment and how Kentik can provide observability. Leveraging eBPF technology allows network engineers the ability to visualize and make sense of the network traffic within the Kubernetes cluster, as well as traffic entering and leaving the cluster. Justin wraps up with a brief demo of Kentik’s beta Kentik Kube functionality.

Microservices on Kubernetes: 12 Expert Tips for Success

In recent years, microservices have emerged as a popular architectural pattern. Although these self-contained services offer greater flexibility, scalability, and maintainability compared to monolithic applications, they can be difficult to manage without dedicated tools. Kubernetes, a scalable platform for orchestrating containerized applications, can help navigate your microservices.
