Deploying your Applications in a Repeatable Way on Kubernetes

Helm Charts have proven to be very useful for developers looking to create repeatable deployments of their applications. Rancher, with its built in Helm interface, allows developers to deploy their applications using Helm charts. This training will go over using Rancher's pre-provisioned catalog apps, as well as demonstrate the creation of metadata for custom catalog apps to provide the Rancher questions interface to users who wish to deploy their own Helm Charts.

An Introduction to Big Data Concepts

Gigantic amounts of data are being generated at high speeds by a variety of sources such as mobile devices, social media, machine logs, and multiple sensors surrounding us. All around the world, we produce vast amount of data and the volume of generated data is growing exponentially at a unprecedented rate. The pace of data generation is even being accelerated by the growth of new technologies and paradigms such as Internet of Things (IoT).

What you need to know to successfully run databases in production on Kubernetes

The Kubernetes community has made significant progress when it comes to easily deploying stateful services like databases. But what happens on Day 2? Day 2 operations are all about managing an application when things go wrong: nodes fail, networks are partitioned, a CVE comes out requiring a new version of Kubernetes to be deployed and all running apps upgraded.

Comparing Kubernetes CNI Providers: Flannel, Calico, Canal, and Weave

Network architecture is one of the more complicated aspects of many Kubernetes installations. The Kubernetes networking model itself demands certain network features but allows for some flexibility regarding the implementation. As a result, various projects have been released to address specific environments and requirements.

Online Meetup: Introducing Submariner -- Multi-Cluster Networking for Kubernetes

As more organizations benefit from the increased availability and security offered by multi-cluster Kubernetes, the release of Submariner now enables containers in different clusters to establish a direct network connection with each other.

k3s -- The Lightweight Kubernetes Distribution Built for the Edge

Kubernetes is pushing out of the data center into stores, networks and factories. DevOps teams are excited about Kubernetes because it provides predictable operations and a cloud-like provisioning experience on just about any infrastructure. For the last year Rancher Labs has been working with organizations to create a lightweight implementation of Kubernetes that is easy to operate and can run on x86 and ARM infrastructure without using more than 512 MB of memory.

Announcing Submariner, Multi-Cluster Network Connectivity for Kubernetes

Today we are proud to announce Submariner, a new open-source project enabling network connectivity between Kubernetes clusters. We launched the project to provide network connectivity for microservices deployed in multiple Kubernetes clusters that need to communicate with each other.

How to Build Cloud Native CI/CD Pipelines on Kubernetes and Release Software Faster

Kubernetes is a powerful, open source, container orchestration/cluster management tool that helps you manage and deploy your containerized application and services on a cluster of machines. Operationalizing Kubernetes involves many different pieces, but a very important aspect is management of the containers and using Helm to build charts for your Kubernetes deployments.

Kubernetes Master Class: Migrating Existing Applications to Kubernetes

Containers help teams develop, package, and deploy software in environments ranging from personal laptops to data centers. They can help improve release velocity, reduce resource consumption, and encourage modular, flexible application design. However, migrating existing applications to containers is not without logistical challenges.
