Navigate Europe 2023 has come to an end, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone involved in this, from our sponsors, attendees, and most importantly, the Civo team. Whilst we have already announced the next event for next year in Austin, Texas, we want to spend some time reflecting on the amazing few days we’ve just had, and everything we took away from it.
Most modern infrastructure architectures are complex to deploy, involving many parts. Despite the benefits of automation, many teams still chose to configure their architecture manually, carried out by a deployment expert or, in some cases, teams of deployment engineers. Manual configurations open up the door for human error. While DevOps is very useful in developing and deploying software, using Git combined with CI/CD is useful beyond the world of software engineering.
Kubernetes has become the backbone of modern container orchestration, enabling seamless deployment and management of containerized applications. However, as applications grow in complexity, so do the challenges of managing their Kubernetes infrastructure. Enter cdk8s, a revolutionary toolset that transforms Kubernetes configuration into a developer-friendly experience.
Kubernetes v1.28 comes with multiple new enhancements this year and we’ve already covered an overview of those in our previous blog, Do check this out before diving into sidecar containers. We’re going to completely focus on the new sidecar feature for this post, which enables restartable init containers and is available in alpha in Kubernetes 1.28.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, where software development and deployment happen at lightning speed, DevOps has emerged as the key to achieving operational excellence and maintaining a competitive edge.
