Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) provides an integrated CNI to address basic Kubernetes networking requirements, such as configuring network interfaces and providing connectivity between pods. However, the basic container networking in Microsoft AKS comes with a limited set of IP addresses. As businesses grow, so does application usage. Having a limited set of IPs can cause scale, availability, and manageability challenges for Microsoft AKS users.

Tigera: Calico as an operationally simple solution for creating a Kubernetes cluster mesh
Most organizations start and often stay with a single Kubernetes cluster. In Kubernetes literature, the cluster boundary is how far the Kubernetes control plane reaches. However, the usage of Kubernetes, especially at leading-edge organizations operating at scale, has crossed the single-cluster threshold. Organizations are building and deploying services across multiple clusters for high availability, disaster recovery, application isolation, compliance, latency concerns, staged migration, and multi-tenancy reasons.
Understanding the Three Pillars of Observability: Logs, Metrics and Traces
Many people wonder what the difference is between monitoring vs. observability. While monitoring is simply watching a system, observability means truly understanding a system’s state. DevOps teams leverage observability to debug their applications or troubleshoot the root cause of system issues. Peak visibility is achieved by analyzing the three pillars of observability: Logs, metrics and traces.
How does GeoDNS work?
Latency is the key differentiator when it comes to application performance on the internet. Reduced latency accelerates the delivery of apps. DNS resolving is the first step towards application delivery and it involves a series of steps. Prior to Anycast DNS, the DNS servers responsible for resolving users’ DNS requests were sitting continents away from many users, contributing to the high latency and slow delivery of applications.

The importance of using the latest browser version for monitoring
Security is one word that is at the tip of everyone’s tongue when it comes to ensuring that web browsers are up to date. In August 2022, after zero day vulnerability CVE-2022-2852 was identified as a critical risk, Google issued a new set of Chrome security updates and tech-industry folks carried on with business as usual. In general, security vulnerabilities of all types are an all-too-common game of Whac-A-Mole. Once a security flaw is discovered and patched, another pops up to take its place.
