Azure Kubernetes Service in action

We are deploying 2 services on AKS, one will send messages to SB Queue (on VMSS) and the second (on Container Instance) will handle the messages. We will see how the pods (that we have deployed on Azure Container Instance) will scale out automatically with the increase of the messages in line. All communication direction is done via Application Gateway Ingress Controller.

Debugging with Dashbird: API Gateway Encoding not Enabled

When using services created by other people, it’s often neither obvious what they mean, let alone how to fix them. One of these error messages you might see when using Amazon API Gateway is “encoding not enabled”. The first question here is, what kind of encoding does this error message refer to? The first thought might go into the video or audio encoding direction and lead to a dead-end since you probably didn’t send any audio or video files.

Faster image building thanks to Uber's Makisu

With the exponential growth of FlashDrive, numbers of images built in the last weeks increased at the same time and we needed to find a better solution than regular docker building to reduce building and deployment time. Uber successfully migrated to Docker in 2017 and build hundreds of images a day for about 3000 micro-services services millions of customers worldwide.

Best practices for monitoring Microsoft Azure platform logs

Microsoft Azure provides a suite of cloud computing services that allow organizations across every industry to deploy, manage, and monitor full-scale web applications. As you expand your Azure-based applications, securing the full scope of your cloud resources becomes an increasingly complex task. Azure platform logs record the who, what, when, and where of all user-performed and service account activity within your Azure environment.

How To - Monitor Multi-Cloud with Catchpoint

Many companies have adopted a multi-cloud environment for their services and many more plan to expand cloud usage in the future. As more VMs and workloads transition to public and private clouds, it is becoming clear that multi-cloud is becoming a standard or benchmark rather than something optional that businesses want to ‘try out’.

How to Delete Unused Azure Network Interfaces

More and more, companies from small businesses to global enterprises are migrating or deploying workloads in public cloud environments. Typically, their goal is cost optimization, as public clouds can dramatically reduce on-premises infrastructure costs and corresponding maintenance labor costs. Instead of installing more servers, storage, and networking components in your own datacenter, public cloud environments allow you to deploy dynamic cloud resources, usually with a short to medium lifespan.
