Ocean for Apache Spark - Serverless Spark now available in preview on AWS

The cloud native revolution brought by Kubernetes has transformed the way we build and deliver software, but the world of big data has for too long been left on the side of this transformation. Thanks to many contributions from the open source community, Apache Spark integration on top of Kubernetes is now officially generally available with the recent releases this year.

Control the complexities of containers with the Ocean Suite for Kubernetes

In the relatively short window of time that Kubernetes has been around, it’s rapidly matured as a critical technology foundation for the cloud, and now even applications that were previously thought to be unviable for containers are running with Kubernetes. As companies expand their usage of it, the need to operationalize Kubernetes with automation and optimization is critical to maintaining speed, agility and control in the long-term.

GCP Integrations for Metrics with Logz.io

Logz.io has dedicated itself to encouraging and supporting cloud-native development. That has meant doubling down on support for AWS and Azure, but also increasing our tie-ins with Google Cloud Platform – GCP. Recently, our team added dozens of new integrations for metrics covering the gamut of products in the GCP ecosystem.

Do you need a business case to migrate to the cloud? The answer is clear!

Summary The cloud is always innovating. One of the more recent and large breakthroughs has been the advancement and improvements in CPU architectures. Specifically with ARM CPU processors, where we are seeing adoption across all forms of computing, not only cloud, but also laptops with Apple’s M1, and of course in the past decade with mobile phones. The more recent availability in cloud computing therefore is not surprising, given the progress made in all other areas of technology.

Deploy Friday: E82 Enabling conversation - the design and linguistics of API documentation

APIs enable conversations, but how do you choose the right words for those conversations? We talk with three powerhouse technical writers and documentation managers, from Platform.sh, Splunk, and Sitecore, to get the best practices and frameworks behind world-class documentation.

Azure Security Tips & Tricks

In our very first episode, we have got Paul Stringfellow, the podcast enthusiast with proven ideas to help you enhance the security of your Azure infrastructure. This episode features an in-depth conversation of “why security” should be the top priority for any organization designing an infrastructure/application. Further, the expert shows how different it is to secure a cloud solution than an on-premise one, emphasizing that traditional security models are no longer the right way to protect complex cloud integrations.

5 Best Practices for Successful Microservices Implementation

Microservices have significantly altered the architecture of server-side processors. Rather than a single massive monolithic codebase containing all of your application’s business logic, microservices adhere to the distributed systems concept, in which a collection of application components collaborate to meet business goals. You may create a streamlined microservices ecosystem free of superfluous architectural complications by adhering to microservices industry standards.

Kubernetes Master Class GitOps and Fleet Multi Cluster CD with EKS, GKE and AKS

GitOps is a relatively new model with a fast adoption rate because of how it enhances the continuous delivery workflow in the Kubernetes context. GitOps requires you to describe and observe systems with declarative configurations that will form the basis of continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous deployment of your infrastructure. In this session, we will focus on making use of Fleet to manage deployments to multiple downstream clusters at scale.
