Configuring Kubernetes and OpenShift Monitoring with DX UIM by Broadcom

In this 10-minute how-to video, 1st in a series, learn about DX UIM for new-age infrastructure observability. Watch to learn about the cloud infrastructure monitoring deployment model schematic, how to deploy container monitoring, and how to configure monitoring in the DX UIM Operator Console.

How to Achieve Zero-Downtime Application with Kubernetes

I’ve worked on on-premised and managed Kubernetes clusters for more than seven years. What I can say is that containers have drastically changed the hosting landscape! It has brought a lot of facilities where complex setups were required. Having several instances, with rolling restart, zero downtime, health check, etc. It was such a pain and time effort before (implementing VRRP solution, application monitoring restart with monit like, load balancing haproxy like)!

Best Practices and Potential Loopholes for Successful Microservices Architecture

Microservices architecture is a software development approach where an application is built as a collection of small, loosely coupled, independently deployable services. Each service focuses on a specific business capability and operates as an autonomous unit, communicating with other services through well-defined APIs. This architectural style is often used in the context of DevOps to create more efficient, scalable, and manageable systems.

Simplifying the Tooling you Need to Manage Infrastructure at Scale - Civo Navigate NA 2023

In this talk, Alejandro, a Go developer from Civo, introduces OpenCP, a tool aiming to simplify infrastructure management at scale. OpenCP provides a unified API for interacting with different cloud providers, rendering the need to rewrite configuration files when switching providers unnecessary. The tool simplifies infrastructure management by allowing operations to be handled through the kubectl interface, thus ensuring compatibility with most users' existing workflows.

Shifting Left Stateful Applications In Kubernetes - Civo Navigate NA 2023

In this talk, Viktor Farcic from Upbound demonstrates how to shift left stateful applications, avoid the pitfalls of Jira ticketing system, and implement a more efficient and self-sufficient system. Plus, see a live demo of building a database in a Kubernetes cluster and deploying an application.

Top 5 Preview Environments Products to Consider in 2023

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern software development, where speed, quality, and collaboration are paramount, the concept of preview environments has gained significant traction. These virtual sandboxes serve as vital tools that empower developers to thoroughly test their code changes in isolated environments before integrating them into the main codebase. The advantages are multifaceted, ranging from reduced bugs to enhanced collaboration and accelerated software delivery.

Top 10 End-to-End Testing Products for Web Applications in 2023

In the realm of software development and testing, end-to-end (E2E) testing plays a pivotal role in ensuring the robustness and reliability of web applications. Unlike unit or integration testing, which focuses on specific components or integrations between them, end-to-end testing evaluates the entire system as a whole. This includes testing the flow from the user's perspective, from start to finish, and often involves multiple systems and components working in unison.
