Managing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP)

This video describes how to use the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) to manage an existing CNCF-conformant cluster created with Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Getting to Kubernetes is a first step. Getting Kubernetes into production is quite another! You've got a few clusters in place already, and they may even be in production, but what you need now is some way to manage them all from the same place. DKP can help! You can use DKP to manage existing clusters as well as new clusters you create with DKP itself.

Using D2iQ Kubernetes Platform to Deploy Multiple Flix Instances

This video showcases how to run multiple Flix instances in the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) installed through a custom Catalog item. Does your Studio Operations Team find managing multiple Flix instances difficult to maintain? Well, not anymore! With DKP, managing multiple Flix instance has never been easier or more streamlined, and gives your Operations team all the tools needed to get started on a Day 2 production ready Kubernetes cluster.

D2iQ Kubernetes Platform + Aerospike Real-Time Data Platform: Build Once, Scale Forever

D2iQ and Aerospike have partnered to help developers and data architects spend less time managing and maintaining their infrastructure and more time delivering mission-critical applications that provide business value at scale. The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator has been certified on the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) to enable organizations to efficiently deploy and operate Aerospike clusters. Aerospike is a high-performance NoSQL database that enables high-speed data processing at scale.

Securing a DKP Cluster - Logging, Monitoring, & Compliance

This video discusses securing your D2iQ Kubernetes Platform clusters, and the importance of Logging, Monitoring, and Compliance to cluster security. Join Lauren to learn why she says, "...If you don't know what your assets are, where they are, and how they are performing in real-time, you have no hopes of securing your cluster!"

Scripting vs Automation: Which way is best?

Here at D2iQ we feel your pain! In a fast-paced world where doing your day to day is hard enough, understanding why you would want to automate, yet alone finding the time, is a daunting challenge. Check out this short video to see some of the benefits and why putting in that up-front expense to get to true Cloud Native development and operations is worth the effort and pays off well in the future.

D2iQ Kubernetes Platform + GitLab: Deliver Better Code Faster

D2iQ and Gitlab have partnered to help Kubernetes DevOps teams deliver higher-quality code faster through automation, integration, and verification of code. DKP provides a fully automated and integrated Kubernetes platform for developing and managing container deployments.

Kool Kubernetes Uses

As the movement to the cloud has grown, so has the use of containers as an effective way to package, distribute, and deploy applications. As surveys show, Kubernetes is the most widely used orchestration engine for managing cloud-native containers. Kubernetes automates deployment, auto-scaling, resource optimization, backup and recovery, and enables containers to run across different environments, eliminating the need to develop separate versions for each operating environment.

Why Going Cloud Native Is the Right Move in the Recession

In a market downturn, reducing spending would seem to be the prudent course to pursue. However, surveys show that most companies intend to increase IT spending in 2023. A Spiceworks Ziff Davis survey, for example, found that even for businesses that plan to cut back in other areas, tech spending will increase. The survey found that more than one-half of companies surveyed planned to increase IT spending (compared with only 6% planning to decrease spending).
