One of the major factors that come into play when deciding on a load testing tool is whether it can perform as you expect it to. There are many ways to measure how well a load testing tool performs, with the amount of requests per second undoubtedly being one of the main ways. Speedscale creates load tests from recorded traffic, so generating load is at the core of the tool.

Monitoring any type of resource can be challenging. But Kubernetes monitoring is a special kind of challenge. Not only are there a variety of different Kubernetes layers and resource types to monitor, but collecting monitoring data from Kubernetes can be difficult if you use a managed Kubernetes service that limits your access to the underlying infrastructure. For all of these reasons, Kubernetes monitoring requires a different approach.

Sysdig is pleased to announce that we’ve achieved the Amazon Linux 2022 Ready designation as part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Ready Program. Amazon Linux 2022 (AL2022) is the newest Linux operating system from AWS available to support your workloads running on Amazon EC2. The team at Sysdig validated AL2022 with Sysdig Secure and Sysdig Monitor to ensure full support for our container security and cloud-native monitoring capabilities with this latest OS.

Application development trends guide industries (tech and non-tech alike) toward a more cloud-native and distributed model with digital-first strategies. Many organizations are adopting new technologies and distributed workflows. Software development pipelines enable teams to collaborate efficiently and maintain productivity. However, organizations that were early to embrace modern application development strategies and tools, including containerization and multi-cloud environments.

Content Learning how to monitor the Kubernetes API server is crucial when running cloud-native applications in Kubernetes environments. The Kubernetes API server can be considered as the front end of the Kubernetes control plane. Any interaction or request from users or internal Kubernetes components with the control plane go through this component. Ensuring you monitor the Kubernetes API server properly is of vital importance to ensure your Kubernetes cluster works as expected.

We spoke with two members from the SRE team, Alex Blyth and Zulhilmi Zainudin, to learn more about their role at Civo. Through this series, we aim to provide you with an overview of the different roles we have at Civo and what advice our team has. You can discover more about our team in our “day in the life of a Go Dev” and “day in the life of an Intern” blog.

Before I dive into the launch of Cycle’s latest feature (and it’s a big one!) I want to share some context about how we got here. Let’s rewind back to 2015: containers, at least in their modern form, had just begun to take the developer ecosystem by storm. At the same time, we at Cycle were watching everything unfold: from Docker’s meteoric rise to the first few releases of tools like Kubernetes, Rancher, and so on.
