After nearly 2 years of perfecting our product during our beta phase and just over 5 months since we opened for early access, we recently announced that Civo is now 'General Availability'. Learn more about what this means for Civo and our future projects.

We recently announced that THG Ingenuity, the technology division of ecommerce giant THG, has invested $2 million to take a minority stake in Civo. Learn more about what this means for Civo.

As a Technical Account Manager (at GitLab) Phillipe often needs to demo GitLab features to help customers gain more "DevOps" (or CI/CD) maturity. So having the ability to create and deploy infrastructure quickly for new demo environments is crucial. This is where Gitpod and Civo come in. In this talk Philippe will run through provisioning a Civo Kubernetes cluster with Gitpod, deploying GitLab Runner on the cluster, connecting to it, and setting up the GitLab Kubernetes integration

The recent announcements by the Docker corporation regarding pricing has prompted some organizations to consider moving to alternatives such as Podman which is - at its core - still Docker. Docker solved many problems in the industry related to distribution of software via encapsulation, but also created software supply chain problems.

Philippe Charrière (Gitlab) and Geoffrey Huntley (Gitpod) joined us for two talks on utilising Gitpod: A tool for spinning up automated development environments, in the cloud, for any task. In this talk Philippe walked through deploying GitLab Runner quickly on Kubernetes by provisioning GitPod on a Civo Kubernetes cluster, connecting to it, and setting up the GitLab Kubernetes integration.

For this week's Civo DevOps bootcamp, we'll be discussing how K3s by Rancher Labs differs from regular Kubernetes (k8s).

For this week's Civo DevOps bootcamp, we'll be having a round table discussion on the topic "People over process". We'll discuss what the ideal work environment looks like, bringing possible solutions in a non-confrontational way, reducing toil, solving problems, and more.

Find out how Keptn makes use of Civo’s simplicity and speed from Juergen and how it helps them in their day-to-day cloud native development.

If you've ever worked with Terraform you'll know it's powerful automation and orchestration capabilities enable the creation of new digital assets within minutes. But what happens when you have multiple regions and slight variations on requirements? When multiple teams are all releasing infrastructure changes within the same domain? In this meetup Alex Jones, Principal Engineer at Civo, looks at how Civo uses DRY methodology to create simple templates with isolated workspaces, showing how anyone can improve their Terraform code longevity through a few simple techniques.

In this session, we'll learn about infrastructure as code, self healing systems, runbooks as code along with an introduction to Terraform.
