Kubernetes and the Service Mesh Era

Kubernetes is a game-changer for enterprise organizations. Automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications allows organizations to embrace a cloud-native paradigm at scale and more easily employ best practices, such as microservices and DevSecOps. But as with all tech, Kubernetes has its limits. Kelsey Hightower famously tweeted that “Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms. It’s a better place to start; not the endgame.”

Simplifying Kubernetes DevSecOps Through Platform Engineering

DevSecOps–short for development, security, and operations–is a trending practice that introduces security testing, triage, and risk mitigation as early as possible in the software development lifecycle, rather than bolting on security in the final stages. DevSecOps requires a shift (also known as “shift-left”) in culture, process, and tools across development, security, and operations teams to make security a shared responsibility.

Kubernetes Monitoring: 4 Data Types to Increase Insights

Having a deep understanding of a Kubernetes cluster is important: the right insights allow you to monitor the performance and health of the cluster, which is necessary for ensuring that applications are running smoothly and that any potential issues can be identified and addressed quickly. As your Kubernetes cluster develops, so does the need for monitoring and troubleshooting.

How to Deploy a D2iQ Kubernetes Platform Cluster Using ClusterAPI

This video will demonstrate how CAPI is used as part of the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) installation, while deploying a DKP cluster. By simplifying Kubernetes deployment and management, DKP enables your organization to gain all the benefits of cloud-native Kubernetes while establishing a future-proof foundation for smart cloud-native innovation.

Multi-Cluster Lifecycle Management With DKP and ClusterAPI (CAPI)

This video will demonstrate how a D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) management cluster can be used to deploy new DKP clusters. In addition, we will also demonstrate how to attach an existing DKP cluster to a DKP management cluster, and put it under the management cluster's control, and how to detach and delete clusters under management control.
