Kubernetes is the de facto industry standard for container management and orchestration. Not surprisingly, it has also become common to use Kubernetes in tandem with compatible Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) tools.

But how about taking it one step further with continuous deployment? Are you deploying to production automatically, without any human intervention? Some of the major products we rely on everyday are.

Citrix provides a tool called Citrix Director for monitoring Citrix Virtual App and Desktops (CVAD), formerly known as Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp. While this is a great tool for providing day to day end user support with real-time health information about CVAD software components and user sessions, there are a few important differences compared to an Enterprise Monitoring Platform, such as Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). You should know this when monitoring CVAD stacks.

Citrix application and desktop virtualization technologies are widely used by organizations that are embarking on digital transformation initiatives. The success of these initiatives is closely tied to ensuring a great user experience for end users as they access their virtual apps and desktops.

This post takes a look at Kotlin, a relatively new programming language that runs on the JVM, and explores how it can be used to build serverless web apps on AWS using Lambda and API Gateway.
