Earlier this year we released our report on the cost of cloud. Through this white paper we discovered the complexities of cloud costs for businesses and alternatives beyond the hyperscalers. This white paper saw 1,000 cloud developers surveyed about the management of their cloud services, and the degree of costs associated with it. From this analysis, we were able to come up with 5 key takeaways outlining the degree to which hyperscalers are overpromising and under-delivering.

Docker containers are transient (lasting for a very short time), spawning quickly and in high numbers, which causes metrics bursts. This makes monitoring a challenge due to Docker's scaling and redeployment features. Docker stats is a built-in feature of Docker containers. The docker stats command returns a live data stream of your running containers. Docker is a containerization platform that lets you separate your applications from your infrastructure to deliver software quickly.

Kubewarden is a policy engine for Kubernetes that is part of the CNCF Sandbox. Its mission is to simplify the adoption of policy-as-code. Never heard of Kubewarden? Do you want to know what makes Kubewarden stand out among similar solutions? This is a high-level overview of Kubewarden’s unique points: Today, a year and a half since its conception, we’re thrilled to announce the release of Kubewarden v1.0.0!

Imagine having the ability to instantly know when a Kubernetes compliance or security violation occurs. Now you can with Shipa Insights. Coupling Shipa Insights with the robust notification and alerting capabilities of PagerDuty makes this very possible. Shipa has the capability of sending fine-grained events externally e.g to PagerDuty. Now with the power of Shipa Insights, you have the capabilities to alert on policy violations. Let’s take a look at gettings started.

Our last Qovery Demo Day was live on Thursday, 23rd of June. This event aims to give you insights into what we did during the past month and what’s next and showcase some of our new features. During this demo day, Romaric (CEO at Qovery) and Benjamin (Software Engineer at Qovery) joined me to talk about Qovery EC2 and our brand new V3 console.

Epinio is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that allows developers to go from the application source to a URL in one step. Try Epinio today or try it tomorrow — but make sure you try it. We just released our first stable version (Epinio v1.0.0) and we think you are going to love it. Let me tell you why.

It’s the type of nightmare that leaves developers in a cold sweat. Imagine waking up to a message from your team that simply says, “We lost a cluster,” but it’s not a dream at all. InfluxDB Cloud runs on Kubernetes, a cloud application orchestration platform. We use an automated Continuous Delivery (CD) system to deploy code and configuration changes to production. On a typical workday, the engineering team delivers between 5-15 different changes to production.
