The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Everything you need to know about Kubernetes pod networking on AWS
When you are first starting out with Kubernetes running in Amazon cloud, pod networking is probably not the first thing you think about. Nevertheless, at some point you are going to be 100% dependent on whatever networking you choose. So while you don’t need to be a networking expert, it’s well worth investing a few minutes to gain a basic understanding of the common choices, how they work, and the tradeoffs between them.
Kubernetes DevSecOps with Sumo Logic
With Sumo Logic, we can put all of these pieces together to build end-to-end Observability in Kubernetes.
Windows Containers and Rancher 2.3
Container technology is transforming the face of business and application development. 70% of on-premises workloads today are running on the Windows Server operating system and enterprise customers are looking to modernize these workloads and make use of containers. We have introduced support for Windows Containers in Windows Server 2016 and graduated support for Windows Server worker nodes in Kubernetes 1.14 clusters. With Windows Server 2019 we have expanded support in Kubernetes 1.16.
Kubernetes Master Class Kubernetes + Vault
Vault operation is hard enough already, let alone with needing to add new applications, new policies, new databases... But if I automate my secrets, that defeats the purpose of storing it securely in vault. This class aims to show some simple ways of adding automation to your vault operation to help reduce operator toil and give a standardized way of having developers add new applications via a GitOps flow.
How to Monitor Kubernetes With Blue Matador
Kubernetes is the defacto solution for production-ready container orchestration in 2019. Organizations of any size are able to take advantage of Kubernetes’ quick setup, feature-rich API, and growing community to deliver value quickly and at scale. Since Kubernetes is central to many infrastructures, properly monitoring your Kubernetes clusters is critical. In this post, we will go over how Blue Matador monitors each piece of your Kubernetes cluster automatically.
Introducing Rancher 2.3: The Best Gets Better
Today we are excited to announce the general availability of Rancher 2.3, the latest version of our flagship product. Rancher, already the industry’s most widely adopted Kubernetes management platform, adds major new features with v2.3.
Top 10 Open Source Monitoring Tools for Kubernetes
With over 58K stars on GitHub and over 2,200 contributors across the globe, Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration. While solving some of the key challenges involved in running distributed microservices, it has also introduced some new ones. Not surprisingly, when asked, engineers list monitoring as one of the main obstacles for adopting Kubernetes. After all, monitoring distributed environments has never been easy and Kubernetes adds additional complexity.
How to Collect Kubernetes Data
Now that we understand what machine data is available to us, how do we get to this data? The good news is that Kubernetes makes most of this data readily available, you just need the right tool to gather and view it. The solution we will discuss here heavily utilizes open source tools for collection and data enrichment because of their deep integrations and overwhelming community support.
Deploying the ELK Stack on Kubernetes with Helm
ELK and Kubernetes are used in the same sentence usually in the context of describing a monitoring stack. ELK integrates natively with Kubernetes and is a popular open-source solution for collecting, storing and analyzing Kubernetes telemetry data. However, ELK and Kubernetes are increasingly being used in another context — that of a method for deploying and managing the former.
