The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Open Source for Better Observability
Monitoring cloud-native systems is hard. You’ve got highly distributed apps spanning tens and hundreds of nodes, services and instances. You’ve got additional layers and dimensions—not just bare metal and OS, but also node, pod, namespace, deployment version, Kubernetes’ control plane and more. To make things more interesting, any typical system these days uses many third-party frameworks, whether open source or cloud services.
Learn How to Simplify Kubernetes Performance Management | Pepperdata
Complex applications running on Kubernetes scale super fast, but this can create visibility gaps that can make detecting and troubleshooting Kubernetes issues as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Although Docker and Kubernetes are now becoming standard components when building and orchestrating applications, you’re still responsible for managing the performance of applications built atop this new stack.
Label standard and best practices for Kubernetes security
In this blog post, I will be talking about label standard and best practices for Kubernetes security. This is a common area where I see organizations struggle to define the set of labels required to meet their security requirements. My advice is to always start with a hierarchical security design that is capable of achieving your enterprise security and compliance requirements, then define your label standard in alignment with your design.
Calico is celebrating 5 years
October marks the five-year anniversary of Calico Open Source, the most widely adopted solution for container networking and security. Calico Open Source was born out of Project Calico, an open-source project with an active development and user community, and has grown to power 1.5M+ nodes daily across 166 countries. When Calico was introduced 5 years ago, the world—and technology—was much different from what it is today.
Kubernetes Monitoring Resources
Heaven knows we all could use some luck these days, and observability may be just the thing we need. But observability isn’t luck, and it isn’t really new either. A few people even know that observability is an aspect of control theory, which dates back to the 1800s! In this blog post, I’ll cover some of the history of observability vs.
Introduction to Kubernetes Storage
As Kubernetes Pods don't store data persistently, it offers different storage components to prevent this data loss. In this blog, learn how Volume works in Kubernetes, how to create it, and how to attach it to the Pod. Before exploring Kubernetes volumes, let’s first understand Docker. Docker containers are meant to be transient, which means they will only last for a short period. They are called upon when required to process data and are destroyed once finished.
Clone your production environment instantly
I am super excited to announce that we have released our "clone environment" feature. It is a massive update!! With one click, you can duplicate an existing environment. The cloning environment has been a significant feature expected by our customers and users for a long time. Thanks to our beta testers and our team for making it live for everyone. Here is a short video showing the clone environment in action
Various policy engines for Kubernetes policies - Saiyam Pathak
Kubernetes configurations are complex to manage across developers and operators. External tools like Helm, Kustomize cannot ensure environment-specific configurations and admission controllers provide a way to do this. Now, various tools have evolved over time that helps solve this problem - OPA Gatekeeper, Kyverno, Kubewarden and jsPolicy. In this talk during ContainerDays 2021, Saiyam Pathak from Civo goes through the need for a policy engine and discusses how each of the tools help along with the differences between them and where these are headed to.
Forecasting Kubernetes Costs
The benefits of containerizing workloads are numerous and proven. But, during infrastructure transformations, organizations are experiencing common, consistent challenges that interfere with accurately forecasting the costs for hosting workloads in Kubernetes. Planning the proper reservations for CPU and memory before migrating to containers is a persistent issue Densify observes across our customers.
