The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
This July, the community spirit was profoundly vibrant in the scenic city of Munich, as Kubernetes Community Day (KCD) Munich brought together a meeting of minds and inspired the open-source collaboration we all know and love. The event was a testament to the strength and vitality of the Kubernetes community, which pulsed with an energy of shared intellectual curiosity and passion for all things Kubernetes.
In this blog post, we will explore the concept of Kubernetes topology aware routing and how it can enhance network performance for workloads running in Amazon. We will delve into topology aware routing and discuss its benefits in terms of reducing latency and optimizing network traffic flow. In addition, we’ll show you how to minimize the performance impact of overlay networking, using encapsulation only when necessary for communication across availability zones.
In the dynamic landscape of software development, the terms DevOps and Platform Engineering have garnered attention. Both concepts, although distinct, aim at a shared goal: to build efficient, streamlined systems that simplify code deployment within organizations.
This post was written by Talha Khalid, a full-stack developer and data scientist who loves to make the cold and hard topics exciting and easy to understand. No one has any doubt that microservices architecture has already proven to be efficient. However, implementing security, particularly in an immutable infrastructure context, has been quite the challenge.
As enterprise architecture and technology innovation leaders, it's crucial to understand the benefits, limitations and best practices associated with building cloud native apps and modernizing legacy workloads. Gartner recently published a worthwhile read addressing what keeps CTOs up at night while assessing Kubernetes and container adoption.
Architecting cloud instrumentation to secure a complex and diverse enterprise infrastructure is no small feat. Picture this: you have hundreds of virtual machines, some with specialized purposes and tailor-made configurations, thousands of containers with different images, a plethora of exposed endpoints, s3 buckets with both public and private access policies, backend databases that need to be accessed through secure internet gateways, etc.
Managing an application's dependencies and tech stack across numerous cloud and development environments is a regular difficulty for DevOps teams. Regardless of the underlying platform it uses, it must maintain the application's stability and functionality as part of its regular duties. However, one possible solution to this problem is to create an OS image that already contains the required libraries and configurations needed to run the application.
