The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
A Kubernetes environment includes a wide range of resources—such as clusters, nodes, and pods—that work together to run dynamic applications at scale. In order to monitor a Kubernetes application effectively, you need a multi-dimensional view into your clusters’ health that encompasses the complex dependency relationships among these resources.
Many organizations are adopting Kubernetes to gain agility and increased time-to-value. However, complexity, security, and a shortage of IT skills are the top challenges that prevent organizations from effectively deploying Kubernetes. Complexity Kubernetes requires the selection and integration of a host of component services, which makes do-it-yourself (DIY) deployments beyond the scope of most organizations. Kubernetes management also differs significantly from traditional IT environments.
There are many different ways to run a Kubernetes cluster, from setting everything up manually to using a lightweight distribution like K3s. K3s is a Kubernetes distribution built for IoT and edge computing and is excellent for running on low-powered devices like Raspberry Pis. However, you aren’t limited to running it on low-powered hardware; it can be used for anything from a Homelab up to a Production cluster.
Today we’re excited to make three major announcements. First, we’re making it easier to adopt the very popular Codefresh GitOps CD with a fully SaaS offering that is hosted and managed by Codefresh. We’ve heard from many in the community that they’d like to get away from managing Argo CD and focus just on deploying and managing their applications. Hosted GitOps CD makes it easier than ever to adopt GitOps, just create an account, connect your target clusters, and deploy.
The cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD, DevOps, GitOps… the last five years have seen a huge transformation in how organizations are architecting and shipping applications. It’s hard to keep up with the pace and learn all of this new tech! Nearly 55% of respondents to Canonical’s 2021 Kubernetes and cloud native operations report highlighted how the lack of sufficient in-house skills and people power is the biggest challenge that Kubernetes brings to businesses.
Sysdig maintainers are thrilled to announce the latest release of our beloved OSS tool for analyzing and/or recording the activity of processes and containers on a Linux system.
