Announcement: Pleco - the open-source Kubernetes and Cloud Services garbage collector

TLDR; Pleco is a service that automatically removes Cloud managed services and Kubernetes resources based on tags with TTL. When using cloud provider services, whether using UI or Terraform, you usually have to create many resources (users, VPCs, virtual machines, clusters, etc...) to host and expose an application to the outside world. When using Terraform, sometimes, the deployment will not go as planned.

2021 Kubernetes on Big Data Report: Data Management | Pepperdata

Get the Pepperdata 2021 Kubernetes on Big Data report and start your journey of better understanding how your competitors are managing their data with Kubernetes. Cloud vendors have proliferated and promised users optimal performance and tight spend. Still, many of these vendors don't provide visibility into Kubernetes big data, resulting in performance issues, poor resource allocation, overspending, and ineffective tuning. To fully optimize your Kubernetes big data, maximize performance, and reduce spend, you need to step beyond the basic K8s measurements and look at app performance.

It's All About Developer Experience [DX]

Looking at where major DevOps trends are headed, a common theme across many tools and practices is improving the Developer Experience or DX. One paradigm of thinking is that if you improve your internal customer experience, then your external customers will benefit too. However, up until now, the Developer Experience has been quite siloed and segregated for a multitude of reasons, such as scaling or having best-of-breed technologies to support individual concerns. Presentation on DX.

How-To: Docker on Windows and Mac with Multipass

If you’re looking for an alternative to Docker Desktop or to integrate Docker into your Multipass workflow, this how-to is for you. Multipass can host a docker engine inside an Ubuntu VM in a manner similar to Docker Desktop. That Docker instance can be controlled either directly from the VM, or remotely from the host machine with no additional software required. This allows you to run Docker locally on your Windows or Mac machine directly from your host terminal.

How To Use Buildpacks To Run Containers

The high demand to deliver software that is both highly available and able to meet customer requests has, in part, led to the adoption of microservice architecture, a software architecture pattern that makes it easier to deploy applications as self-contained entities called containers. These containers are nothing but processes that run as long as the application in them is running.

Harvester: A Modern Infrastructure for a Modern Platform

Cloud platforms are not new — they have been around for a few years. And containers have been around even longer. Together, they have changed the way we think about software. Since the creation of these technologies, we have focused on platforms and apps. And who could blame anyone? Containers and Kubernetes let us do things that were unheard of only a few years ago.
