General availability announcement

After nearly 2 years of perfecting our product during our beta phase and just over 5 months since we opened for early access, I have great pleasure in announcing that Civo is now 'General Availability'. It's taken us over 4 years to get to where we are today, with a colossal amount of work being contributed by our team to build the Civo platform and developer eco-system. I can honestly say that we're lucky to have so many amazing people at Civo.

Komodor Workflows: Automated Troubleshooting at the Speed of WHOOSH!

Today, just in time for Kubecon 2021, I am happy to announce the beta availability of Workflows. For me, this is our most exciting product announcement to date – a completely new capability that expands the definition of what Komodor is, as it charts the course for its next evolution. Let me start with the feature first. In a nutshell, Workflows is a series of smart algorithms that operate within the “depths” of Komodor.

Announcing Workflows - Fix k8s issues on the fly

Meet "Workflow" from Komodor, the feature that automates troubleshooting common errors in Kubernetes. Leveraging Komodor’s change intelligence capabilities, Workflow's smart algorithm automatically detects Kubernetes issues and responds with a series of checks that quickly pinpoint its root cause. Not stopping there, Komodor uses the information to provide made-to-measure instruction for remediation, turning troubleshooting into a fast and effortless experience for dev and ops.

Best Practices Guide for Kubernetes Labels and Annotations

Kubernetes is the de facto container-management technology in the cloud world due to its scalability and reliability. It also provides a very flexible and developer-friendly API, which is the foundation of its control plane. The effectiveness of the Kubernetes API comes from how it manages the Kubernetes resources via metadata: labels and annotations. Metadata is essential for grouping resources, redirecting requests and managing deployments.

Self Healing Kubernetes at the edge

As developers and businesses are shifting their attention to the edge, everyone wants to build their own edge clusters and manage them. However, building a highly available edge cluster is not easy. Kubernetes simplifies container deployments by abstracting the resource management details from the users, allowing them to deploy using standard CLI or templates.
