As the latest surveys show, organizations are struggling to manage multiple clouds and to realize the expected benefits of moving to the cloud. In the Flexera 2023 State of the Cloud Report, for example, enterprises cited managing cloud spend and managing multi-cloud environments as their top cloud challenges. The root of these problems can be traced to cloud and cluster sprawl and the complexity of managing Kubernetes.

Fleet, also known as “Continuous Delivery” in Rancher, deploys application workloads across multiple clusters. However, most applications need configuration and credentials. In Kubernetes, we store confidential information in secrets. For Fleet’s deployments to work on downstream clusters, we need to create these secrets on the downstream clusters themselves.

The world of DevOps is constantly evolving and adapting to the needs of the software development industry. With the increasing demand for faster and more efficient software delivery, organizations are turning to modern technologies and practices to help them meet these challenges. In a series of articles on the Kublr blog, we will take a look at some of today’s top DevOps trends.

In this article, we will deploy a clustered Prometheus setup that integrates Thanos. It is resilient against node failures and ensures appropriate data archiving. The setup is also scalable. It can span multiple Kubernetes clusters under the same monitoring umbrella. Finally, we will visualize and monitor all our data in accessible and beautiful Grafana dashboards.

Have you heard about eBPF? It’s the technology that’s set to transform the Kubernetes landscape. In this article, we’ll explore what eBPF is and why it’s poised to become the next big thing in Kubernetes. But here’s the catch – despite its game-changing potential, it seems that few people are truly aware of its impact. Let’s delve into the details and discover why you should care.

Kubernetes has emerged as the go-to platform for container orchestration, empowering organizations to efficiently deploy and manage applications at scale. As the demands on applications continue to grow, scaling Kubernetes becomes essential to ensure high availability, optimal performance, and seamless expansion. Today, we will delve into the intricacies of scaling Kubernetes on AWS, exploring best practices, popular tools, performance optimization strategies, cost considerations, and future trends.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a system that makes it easier to run Kubernetes on AWS and on-premises. This managed AWS Kubernetes service scales, manages, and deploys containerized applications. Through EKS, you can run Kubernetes without installing or operating a control plane or worker nodes — significantly simplifying Kubernetes deployment on AWS. So what does it all mean?
