OpenShift Optimization with Jenkins CI/CD

Learn how Raiffeisen Bank International uses Densify container optimization analytics in their Jenkins CI/CD pipeline to precisely resource their Red Hat OpenShift containers. Since embedding Densify into their CI/CD workflow, Raiffeisen has reduced resource demands, cut the frequency at which container resources need to be expanded by nearly 50%, and reduced the risk of instability caused by memory shortages.

Should application developers learn Kubernetes? Let’s ask an even deeper question; should application developers even be aware of Kubernetes in their infrastructure? I frequently hear this question being asked by DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Development teams. Of course, this is a discussion that brings very different views from different people and can result in a very long debate.

Deploying Applications on Kubernetes

In a previous article, we discussed why we frequently hear that developers are not that keen on Kubernetes. You can read it here. In summary, while developers certainly see the value of Kubernetes, they want to continue focusing on their application code and updates and not be impacted by the company’s Kubernetes initiative, which is quite fair.

Implementing GitOps on Kubernetes Using K3s, Rancher, Vault and ArgoCD

As Kubernetes continues to establish itself as the industry standard for container orchestration, finding effective ways to use a declarative model for your applications and tools is critical to success. In this blog, we’ll set up a K3s Kubernetes cluster in AWS, then implement secure GitOps using ArgoCD and Vault. Check out the source for the infrastructure and the Kubernetes umbrella application here.

Tutorial: Using Helm Hooks in Your Codefresh Pipeline

When getting started with Kubernetes and Helm, the process across the release life cycle can feel like a black-box; having to follow debugging processes to understand what is going on behind the scenes. Helm hooks can help with that. This post provides an overview of: If you are new to Helm, we suggest to check-out our previous tutorial first and then come back to learn more about Helm hooks. Hooks perform a single action at a specified point during the release life cycle.
