Containers, Microservices, and Kubernetes

Faster application development requires more agile application infrastructure. Containers started the transformation of modern application architectures which now are dominated by microservices running on Kubernetes. In this episode of Dissecting DevOps find out how cloud infrastructure has changed, how the modern architectures make application development easier, and the unique challenges introduced by microservices and Kubernetes.

Multi-cluster Observability and Security with Linkerd and Kublr

Applications distributed on Kubernetes are quickly pushing the geographical and logical boundaries which are inherent to single clusters. As a result, Kubernetes users are growing their applications across multiple clusters. The open source community of the Linkerd service mesh has responded by enabling observability and security across clusters. Combined with Kublr's multi-cluster operations and observability capabilities you've got a powerful set of tools to deliver distributed applications.

AWS Fargate pricing: how to optimize billing and save costs

AWS Fargate is a managed service that enables you to run containers in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or Elastic Container Service (ECS). Since Fargate is serverless, you don’t need to provision or manage servers or clusters. However, you do need to set up package containers, define resource requirements, and configure permissions and networking policies. Fargate pricing is determined according to virtual CPUs (vCPUs) requirements, as well as usage of GBs of RAM for running services.
