kOps adds support for Calico's eBPF data plane

Kubernetes operations (kOps) is one of the official Kubernetes (K8s) projects. The kOps project allows for rapid deployment of production-grade K8s clusters in multiple cloud platforms. By leveraging yaml manifests, kOps delivers a familiar experience to users who have worked with kubectl. Similar to K8s clusters in popular cloud platforms, kOps helps set up self-managed clusters to easily deliver high availability.

VCs are Betting Big on Kubernetes: Here are 5 Reasons Why

I worked at Google for six years. Internally, you have no choice — you must use Kubernetes if you are deploying microservices and containers (it’s actually not called Kubernetes inside of Google, it’s called Borg). But what was once solely an internal project at Google has since been open-sourced, and has become one of the most talked-about technologies in software development and operations.

August 2021 Online Meetup - Rancher Desktop: Open Source Kubernetes on the Desktop

This is the recording for the August 2021 Online Meetup from SUSE on Rancher Desktop. Rancher Desktop puts Kubernetes and container management at your fingertips as part of a Mac and Windows desktop application. It makes the experience of working with k8s and containers manageable for developers. It lets you select your version of Kubernetes, test your workloads when Kubernetes is upgraded, try containers before pushing to a registry, and more.

[Webinar] Take a Walk On the Safe Side: Using Feature Flags W/ Komodor & Sentry

Feature flags are enabling developers to deploy with confidence, safe in the knowledge that they can always disable buggy features in production without changing the code. While this increases the speed, stability, and frequency of software updates, it’s no magic trick and still requires planning in advance and using the right tools.

Using Calico with Kubespray

In the Kubernetes ecosystem there are a variety of ways for you to provision your cluster, and which one you choose generally depends on how well it integrates with your existing knowledge or your organization’s established tools. Kubespray is a tool built using Ansible playbooks, inventories, and variable files—and also includes supplemental tooling such as Terraform examples for provisioning infrastructure.
