How to mitigate the challenges of data growth

Over the last decade, I’ve rarely met a data professional whose organization wasn’t experiencing data growth and making more demands of their data. We build and deploy new applications faster than we retire old ones, and new data is accumulating dramatically faster on our existing systems than our ability to decide to delete older information. Additionally, the ever-growing number of users and devices interacting with that data increases the strain on the infrastructure underpinning it.

Managing Kubernetes Log Data at Scale | Civo Navigate NA 2023

In this talk by Matt Miller from Edge Deltas, we delve into the world of managing Kubernetes log data at a significant scale. Matt breaks down different strategies for handling log data, including Kubernetes native tools, persistent storage, open-source log collection, and using centralized log vendors. He explores the benefits and drawbacks of each approach, particularly focusing on the challenges of scalability and cost when dealing with large volumes of data.

Key questions to ask when setting SLOs

Many organizations rely on service level objectives (SLOs) to help them gauge the reliability of their products. By setting SLOs that define clear and measurable reliability targets, businesses can ensure they are delivering positive end-user experiences to their customers. Clearly defined SLOs also make it much easier for businesses to understand what tradeoffs they may have to make in order to deliver those specific experiences.

The Unplanned Show, Episode 8: Platform Engineering with Martin Van Son

In this episode, Martin Van Son provides a simplified definition of platforms in this context: a way for internal users to request anything from environments to deployments. The platform engineering comes in because someone needs to own stitching together and automating away all the complexity involved to complete that action. In the end, both the consumers and the creators save time. Furthermore, platform engineers have an opportunity to encode best practices and cost saving measures that are often forgotten when users are left to their own devices.

Restarting Kubernetes Pods: A Detailed Guide

This blog will help you learn all about restarting Kubernetes pods and give you some tips on troubleshooting issues you may encounter. Kubernetes pods are one of the most commonly used Kubernetes resources. Since all of your applications running on your cluster live in a pod, the sooner you learn all about pods, the better.
