Docker Container Lifecycle: Key States and Best Practices

You’ve probably run a lot of Docker containers, but do you know what happens behind the scenes? The Docker container lifecycle is the path a container follows from being created to running, stopping, and finally getting removed. Understanding these steps helps you figure out why a container might not start or when to restart it instead of creating a new one.

Kubernetes observability: How to enrich logs with GeoIP using the Kubernetes Monitoring Helm Chart

When your Kubernetes app suddenly has traffic spikes in a distant country, it can be difficult to determine why. Let’s say, for example, we have an e-commerce app that started to receive an unusual surge of visitors from Australia — something we never anticipated. We search for answers in our logs, but without geographic context, we don’t have the full insights we need.

GitOps without the drama: Real-world Kubernetes CD with Codefresh

GitOps promises a more reliable, repeatable, and auditable way to manage Kubernetes deployments—but the reality can be messy. Between brittle pipelines, steep learning curves, and tool sprawl, many teams struggle to realise the benefits of GitOps in production. In this webinar, Dan Garfield will walk you through how Codefresh GitOps Cloud delivers real-world GitOps for real-world teams. You’ll see how enterprises use Codefresh to simplify multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments, visualise application state, and safely promote changes between environments—all without writing complex glue code.

What are the benefits of decentralized AI infrastructure?

Have you ever considered how you can utilize artificial intelligence (AI) without sacrificing control over your data and autonomy? As we continue to navigate the changes of AI in the 21st century, it is important to understand how decentralized AI infrastructure can empower individuals and organizations to harness the potential of AI while maintaining sovereignty over their data and decision-making processes.

Komodor + Backstage: Bringing Kubernetes Visibility into the Leading Open Source IDP

Platform engineering has emerged as the natural progression of DevOps—not a replacement as some may think, but rather more of a refinement. While DevOps broke down silos and encouraged shared responsibility, it often left teams fending for themselves across sprawling infrastructure stacks. Developers were promised autonomy, but were instead overwhelmed by the burden of managing CI/CD, security, observability, infrastructure provisioning, and more.

Securing Containers at Scale: Docker Hardened Images + Cloudsmith

Containers have been with us for a while and are ubiquitous in the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC). According to some reports, nearly 60% of organizations use containers for most or all of their production applications. It’s no surprise really, as containers provide consistency and standardization across the lifecycle while speeding up delivery pipelines. They revolutionized how we develop and deploy apps in the cloud and there is no sign of this changing anytime soon.

ChatGPT vs relaxAI: What's the Difference for Your Data?

Discover how relaxAI, Civo's AI assistant, prioritizes data privacy and security. If you're concerned about data privacy with AI assistants like ChatGPT, relaxAI is a great alternative. relaxAI takes a unique approach by bringing the LLM to your data, giving you control over your infrastructure and data.

Port + Komodor: Bringing Kubernetes Visibility into the Modern Commercial IDP

Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) are no longer just an experimental concept—they’re now a foundational component of modern software delivery. As engineering organizations look to reduce cognitive load, increase self-service, and streamline infrastructure workflows, IDPs have emerged as the most effective way to productize platform engineering.
