Kubernetes in Docker Desktop Just Got Easier with Epinio

Epinio takes developers from application to URL in one step. In this blog post, I’m going to tell you about the new Epinio extension for Docker Desktop, that allows you to run Epinio on your laptop. DevOps are very interested in the details of containerized workloads and Kubernetes especially, but for developers, the abstraction layer provided by Kubernetes might not be too relevant to their daily work.

Navigating the Rich Observability Features of KubeSphere - Civo Tutorial

Is Developer Self-Service a Lie?

Over the weekend, I visited one of my favorite grocery stores to pick up one item, my favorite fruit e.g star fruit. Because of the location, the grocery star started to implement parking validation so folks would not abuse their free parking deck for extended periods of time. As I just had a handful of star fruits, I decided to use the self-checkout. This was my first time buying produce via self-checkout.

The Future Is Smart: Cloud Native + AI

Leading organizations around the world are adopting cloud-native technologies to build next-generation products because cloud native gives them the agility that they need to stay ahead of their competition. Although cloud native and Kubernetes are very disruptive technologies, there is another technology that is probably the most disruptive technology of our generation, and that is artificial intelligence (AI) and its subset, machine learning (ML).

Implementing Microservices on AWS with the Twelve-factor App - Part 1

The Twelve-Factor methodology is a set of best practices for developing microservices applications. These practices are segregated into twelve different areas of application development. Twelve-factor is the standard architectural pattern to develop SaaS-based modern and scalable cloud applications. It is highly recommended by AWS if you are building containerized microservices. In this article, we will guide you on how to develop applications that will use microservices deployed on containers in AWS.

Kubernetes Networking: How to monitor Kubernetes using synthetic testing

Kubernetes enables DevOps efficiency by streamlining application and service deployment and management. While this gives greater control, it also makes it harder to monitor the health of the applications and services. Synthetic monitoring simulates network conditions and user actions by running continuous tests from global locations before adverse conditions impact end users. What you’ll learn.

Standardizing your GitOps Definition - Ravi Lachhman, Shipa (Meetup for Argo)

Believe it or not, the GitOps paradigm is now going on year five since the defining piece from WeaveWorks. So, at least in theory, leveraging a declarative approach that pairs Kubernetes with GitOps pillars is not novel at this point. But the trickier question right now – and one open to no shortage of interpretation – is what you are sending to a GitOps Engine. The multiple paths of creating Kubernetes manifests and packaging (like Helm, Kustomize, JSonnett, etc) are largely leaving us to our own devices for abstraction. Is an app an app if there is no longer a templating engine?

Introduction to KubeSphere and Multi-cluster Management - Civo Tutorial

Kunal Kushwaha, Dev Advocate at Civo, will demonstrate how to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters and run multi-cluster applications with ease. They will look at why multi-cluster management matters, getting set up with KubeSphere on Civo Kubernetes, and how to deploy apps across multiple clusters.
