The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
I joined Civo just over a year ago (straight out of a web development bootcamp) and had to quickly become familiar with concepts of Kubernetes and modern cloud-native software development as we prepared to launch our #KUBE100 beta. So, I, along with the rest of the team, thought about how we could help new users learn the basics of Kubernetes in a simple, practical, and fun way. This is how KubeQuest was born.
Kubernetes namespaces enable you to organize cluster objects, such as applications, devices and variables. Once you define namespaces, you can use this classification to filter, group and manage objects. You can use the same namespaces in duplicated environments and apply policies to specific clusters segments. Kubernetes namespaces are also important for defining roles and ensuring proper access configuration. If you're monitoring Kubernetes, you should try out MetricFire.
Trying to improve the reliability of your Kubernetes deployment? Start with these 5 chaos experiments. Kubernetes 1.20 is scheduled to be released next week, and this version contains a number of amazing enhancements including graceful node shutdown, more visibility into resource requests, and snapshotting volumes. But the change generating the most buzz is the deprecation of Docker as a container runtime.
Progressive delivery is arguably the most reliable and advanced set of deployment practices based on a simple idea. Instead of shutting down the old release and deploying a new one in its place, progressive delivery takes an iterative approach. It gradually increases the reach of a new release. That gives us quite a few benefits like zero-downtime deployments, reduced blast radius, increased security, and so on and so forth. I will not go into depth about what progressive delivery is.
Cloud-native is the ultimate buzzword lately. So, is “cloud-native storage” just an attempt to grab on to this concept, hoping for a little boost? Actually, there is something more to it, and I’ll unpack that here. The premise of cloud-native storage is simple: its native habitat is a Kubernetes cluster. When we design with the assumption that a technology will exist in Kubernetes, we get to look around and see what functionalities already exist in that system.
Figma is a web-based graphic editor and prototyping tool that is commonly used for UI design. Independent of the size of your organization, it is considered good practice to use design components. This post provides a case study on how we utilize Figma components to manage different states in the Codefresh UI. Note that this blog post was written before the release of variants and the new auto-layout features. We will update the blog after we update our style guide with these new amazing features.
This article describes how easy it is for users of Charmed Kubernetes to switch from the Docker container runtime to containerd. You may have heard that Kubernetes is deprecating Docker as a container runtime after v1.20. Docker as an underlying runtime is being deprecated in favor of runtimes that use the Container Runtime Interface(CRI) created for Kubernetes, such as containerd.
