Kubernetes dominates the container orchestration market in every way. According to the latest State of Kubernetes and Container Security study, 88% of enterprises utilise Kubernetes to manage a portion of their container workloads. Kubernetes and other orchestration systems have given software deployment and management a new level of robustness and customization. They also brought attention to the current security landscape's shortcomings.

Making an Open Source Software with sensitive data and dozens of external integrations is a real challenge, here are feedbacks and tradeoffs we've made.

To understand what Kubernetes (K8s) is, you need to understand the technological developments that preceded it. In this article, you will learn what K8s is, how it evolved and why you should care.

Back in May, we announced the Kubernetes integration to help users easily monitor and alert on core Kubernetes cluster metrics using the Grafana Agent, our lightweight observability data collector optimized for sending metric, log, and trace data to Grafana Cloud. Since then, we’ve made some improvements to help our customers go even further.

Kubernetes has become an ever-larger target for workloads across all industries. The public sector, in particular, experiences several hurdles in achieving effective utilization of this relatively new technology. Of particular concern for the public sector in the United States is the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).

In this article, we’ll cover the three main challenges you may face when maintaining your own Prometheus LTS solution. In the beginning, Prometheus claimed that it wasn’t a long-term metrics storage, the expected outcome was that somebody would eventually create that long-term storage (LTS) for Prometheus metrics. Currently, there are several open-source projects to provide long-term storage (Prometheus LTS). These community projects are ahead of the rest: Cortex, Thanos, and M3.
