Stateful workloads in Kubernetes need to be able to access persistent volumes across the cluster. Storage Classes represent different storage types in Kubernetes. A storage provisioner backs each storage class. Most commonly used cloud providers have storage provisioners, which offer different capabilities based on the underlying cloud. There are also a wide variety of storage provisioners available to Kubernetes, based on the cloud provider in use.

On the internet, nothing necessarily stays easy, simple, and reliable forever – but we’re trying to keep it that way for your logs. When our customers use Kubernetes, they want to remain focused on the real challenges of scaling, and avoid infrastructure headaches, so that they can adapt to the unexpected easily and with a minimum of toil. That’s why we continue to invest in the LogDNA Agent. It’s built to handle file logging in even the most intensive Kubernetes deployments.

Chances are, if you’re not already moving applications to containers and Kubernetes, you’re considering it. However, it’s likely that security and compliance implications are something you haven’t fully thought through. Addressing container security risks later in the development life cycle negatively impacts the pace of cloud adoption while simultaneously raising security and compliance risks. The use of containers and Kubernetes changes your security calculus.

Linode is one of simplest, affordable, and accessible cloud computing platform, It has recentely launched managed Kubernetes called Linod Kubernetes Engine(LKE). Following video expalins how to create Linode Kubernets Cluster and Connect to RazorOps Dashboard. Razorops is a container Native CI/CI tool to automate and ship you application to any Kubernetes.

While creating a Docker image, one of the most important decisions to make is what base image to use. In this post I’ll compare three kinds of base images for you.

Cloud-native is the new standard for modern applications. This usually means container-based applications, using the popular Docker and Kubernetes platforms, and increasingly also service mesh platforms such as Istio and Envoy. With that, container security in general—and Kubernetes security in particular—is at the forefront of engineers’ minds. Docker popularized containers based on the good-old but little-used LXC Linux containers.

Editor's note: This blog is part two of our series on launching an app to AWS. For the first installment, "How to deploy an app to AWS: Getting started," click here. So, your application is ready for production. You’ve taken an inventory of your applications, dependencies, and configuration. Now, you’re ready to create a new AWS account and start launching resources.

“With sustainability our primary focus, our technology strategy has to mirror our overall approach. With Rancher we’re driving real transformation to prime us for long-term growth.” – Zach Dunn, Senior Director of Platform Operations and CSO, Optoro.
