Announcing support for EKS Anywhere

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a cloud-based compute platform that includes a fully managed Kubernetes control plane in order to simplify cluster operations. AWS introduced EKS Anywhere to bring the operational ease of EKS to organizations that manage on-premise environments (e.g., to meet data sovereignty requirements).

Maintaining reliable services with advanced Cloud Logging features

We’ve covered ingesting, routing, storing, and viewing logs from your services in Cloud Logging already, but what else can you do with all that data? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we show how you can use advanced features like alerting on logs, logs-based metrics, and capturing application exceptions in Error Reporting. Watch to learn how you can find issues faster, make your services more reliable, and keep your users happy.

Continuous integration of Deno APIs

Development teams provisioning software services face a constant trade-off between speed and accuracy. New features should be made available in the least possible time with a high amount of accuracy, meaning no downtime. Unforeseen downtime due to human error is common for any manual integration processes your team uses to manage codebases. This kind of unexpected interruption can be one of the key drivers for a team to take on the challenge of automating their integration process.

Rate Limiting with the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller

Add IP-by-IP rate limiting to the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller. DDoS (distributed denial of service) events occur when an attacker or group of attackers flood your application or API with disruptive traffic, hoping to exhaust its resources and prevent it from functioning properly. Bots and scrapers, too, can misbehave, making far more requests than is reasonable.

KVM hypervisor: a beginners' guide

KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is the leading open source virtualisation technology for Linux. It installs natively on all Linux distributions and turns underlying physical servers into hypervisors so that they can host multiple, isolated virtual machines (VMs). KVM comes with no licenses, type-1 hypervisor capabilities and a variety of performance extensions which makes it an ideal candidate for virtualisation and cloud infrastructure implementation.
