Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for container orchestration in modern software development, allowing organizations to manage and scale containerized applications easily. As a highly dynamic and distributed system, however, Kubernetes can be challenging to manage and maintain at scale. One of the most critical aspects of maintaining a stable and secure Kubernetes cluster is monitoring the object configurations and tracking the changes over a period of time.

Azure Stack HCI is a virtualized workload solution from Microsoft that allows businesses to run Windows and Linux apps and services in a hybrid on-premise/cloud environment. Built on top of Windows Server, Azure Stack HCI is an example of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). This technology virtualizes conventionally hardware-defined systems like storage and networking to create flexible, efficient infrastructure solutions.

The official CircleCI extension for Visual Studio Code is now available for anyone to download on the VS Code Marketplace. This extension was developed by the Developer Experience team of CircleCI and it includes two sets of features: the pipeline manager and the config helper. The config helper provides language support for CircleCI YAML files.

Kubernetes can be tough to troubleshoot and remediate fast, especially when you have many interdependent services. This blog, part 3 of 3 in the “8 SRE Best Practices to Help Developers Troubleshoot Kubernetes” series, describes the Kubernetes observability foundation StackState has built to support SRE best practices and enable rapid remediation of issues.
