The Resolve Automation Flywheel: A "Good to Great" Automation Journey

Organizations lean on IT as the foundational force for helping the business succeed, even more so when stakes are high, and the future is unpredictable. Considering the countless tasks and processes carried out in IT, automation is no longer a nice to have. It’s a requirement for starting, and maintaining, a system of consistency that supports the business through instability and uncertainty.

Exploring Kubernetes Storage: Persistent Volumes and Persistent Volume Claims

In today's world of container-based applications, the role of storage has become more critical than ever. One of the most significant challenges of containerization is the management of stateful applications. Kubernetes, one of the popular container orchestration platforms, provides a solution to this problem - Persistent Volumes (PVs). PVs allow the storage provision to be decoupled from the lifecycle of the Pod, making it easier to manage stateful applications.

Do you know where your engineering bottlenecks are hiding?

Do you know where your software engineering bottlenecks are hiding? Jacpocket used Sleuth to track DORA metrics, which revealed the software development team suffered from infrequent releases. Here's how Sleuth helped. Give Sleuth a try and see how we empower software teams to build faster by making engineering efficiency easy to improve and measurable — in a way that both managers and developers love.

How to Achieve Zero-Downtime Application with Kubernetes

I’ve worked on on-premised and managed Kubernetes clusters for more than seven years. What I can say is that containers have drastically changed the hosting landscape! It has brought a lot of facilities where complex setups were required. Having several instances, with rolling restart, zero downtime, health check, etc. It was such a pain and time effort before (implementing VRRP solution, application monitoring restart with monit like, load balancing haproxy like)!

Best Practices and Potential Loopholes for Successful Microservices Architecture

Microservices architecture is a software development approach where an application is built as a collection of small, loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Each service focuses on a specific business capability and operates as an autonomous unit, communicating with other services through well-defined APIs. This architectural style is often used in the context of DevOps to create more efficient, scalable, and manageable systems.

Simplifying the Tooling you Need to Manage Infrastructure at Scale - Civo Navigate NA 2023

In this talk, Alejandro, a Go developer from Civo, introduces OpenCP, a tool aiming to simplify infrastructure management at scale. OpenCP provides a unified API for interacting with different cloud providers, rendering the need to rewrite configuration files when switching providers unnecessary. The tool simplifies infrastructure management by allowing operations to be handled through the kubectl interface, thus ensuring compatibility with most users' existing workflows.
