Kubernetes has enjoyed an unparalleled 5-year growth that has revolutionised the IT industry. It has become a key factor for organisations to be successful and have a competitive advantage. In order to optimise these benefits, organisations look for new ways to reduce Kubernetes complexity and get interoperability with other systems. See how combining MicroK8s and WSL 2 brings a low-ops, fully conformant Kubernetes through a single-command install within Windows.

Our attention is increasingly focused on the online world, and with the widespread adoption of mobile devices, and rising data speeds, accessing a website has never been easier. There is also more choice than ever before for online users, with social media apps competing with traditional websites for our attention.

The internet has become an integral part of our lives. Be it work or daily chores, we can’t imagine getting through the day without it. As our reliance on internet increases day by day, a majority of applications we’re switching to have web-based interfaces. The growing popularity of smartphones and portable devices has fueled this tech revolution. Most applications that have web-based interfaces are hosted on the cloud these days.

The complexity of an application’s digital architecture is increasing dramatically every day. In an era of cloud infrastructure, the goal is to integrate all your web services into one place: CDN, DNS, third-party API services, QA tools, analytics tools, and any other component you can think of, are working with each other to make your services function. With so many components in place for an application to run, each one of these behaves like its own black box within your IT infrastructure.

When we discuss Splunk Phantom with customers here at Splunk, we end up talking about phishing pretty frequently. As discussed in a recent blog post, "Phishing Emails — Don’t Get Reeled In!," phishing is a super common issue that almost everyone deals with ad nauseum. It’s also a nuisance to investigate. The good news is that automation excels at dealing with repetitive, mind-numbing workflows like phishing investigations.

Kubernetes is an open source-system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts. It aims to provide a “platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts.” Originally developed by Google, it is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

As a native New Yorker, I almost get the feeling I’ve seen this movie before. I saw 9/11 up close. I experienced the 2008 financial crash from inside Goldman Sachs. I’ve been through bomb threats, water main ruptures, and a hundred other predicaments too banal to remember distinctly. But even having worked and lead teams through all that, I still find the COVID-19 crisis challenging to navigate.
