Integrating Gitlab CI/CD with Sysdig Secure
In this blog post we are going to cover how to perform Docker image scanning on the Gitlab CI/CD platform using Sysdig Secure. Container images that don’t meet the security policies that you define within Sysdig Secure will be stopped, breaking the build pipeline before being pushed to your production Docker registry.
Getting started with Jaeger to build an Istio service mesh
Service mesh provides a dedicated network for service-to-service communication in a transparent way. Istio aims to help developers and operators address service mesh features such as dynamic service discovery, mutual transport layer security (TLS), circuit breakers, rate limiting, and tracing. Jaeger with Istio augments monitoring and tracing of cloud-native apps on a distributed networking system.
Kubernetes Master Class: Using Persistent Storage in Kubernetes and Project Longhorn
It’s often considered hard to use persistent storage correctly with Kubernetes. The concepts of Volume, PV, PVC, Storage Class; the implication of read-write-once vs read-write-many; the difference between Deployment vs StatefulSet are each obstacles for users to fully understand Kubernetes’s persistent storage.
CI/CD/Civo/C-what?
As a cloud provider and DevOps-focused company, we definitely want to practice what we preach. We see the benefits of a modern cloud native architecture, so we built our hosting of www.civo.com and api.civo.com (our application) to take full use of these modern decisions. This post describes our approach to Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) from a Chief Technical Officer's perspective.
Loki's Path to GA: Docker Logging Driver Plugin & Support for Systemd
Launched at KubeCon North America last December, Loki is a Prometheus-inspired service that optimizes storage, search, and aggregation while making logs easy to explore natively in Grafana. Loki is designed to work easily both as microservices and as monoliths, and correlates logs and metrics to save users money. Less than a year later, Loki has almost 6,500 stars on GitHub and is now quickly approaching GA.
The Three Pillars of Kubernetes Observability
The three pillars of observability are metrics, logs, and traces. To get a complete view into your applications as well as the Kubernetes platform they run on, you need to be looking at all the different perspectives. In this session, we will look at each pillar to see how we can use the information collected to understand what is happening in our environment today and how to troubleshoot the problems we experience tomorrow. We will share how to do this using various open source tools as well as using the Datadog platform.
July 2019 Online Meetup: Understanding Service Mesh and Istio in Rancher
We are excited to announce support for Istio with Rancher 2.3 in Preview mode.
Docker Build: A Beginner's Guide to Building Docker Images
Docker has changed the way we build, package, and deploy applications. But this concept of packaging apps in containers isn’t new—it was in existence long before Docker. Docker just made container technology easy for people to use. This is why Docker is a must-have in most development workflows today. Most likely, your dream company is using Docker right now. Docker’s official documentation has a lot of moving parts. Honestly, it can be overwhelming at first.
Docker Swarm vs Kubernetes: A Helpful Guide for Picking One
Docker and Kubernetes have taken the software world by storm. DevOps, containers, and container management are at the center of most conversations about what’s relevant to technology. Tooling and services that ease running software in containers, therefore, occupy the minds of developers. Great tools and platforms create options and possibilities. They also create challenges in understanding available choices, though.
