Kubernetes (or “K8s”) is an open-source container orchestration tool developed by Google. In this tutorial, we will be leveraging the power of Kubernetes to look at how we can overcome some of the operational challenges of working with the Elastic Stack.
Yesterday at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU, Grafana Labs software engineer Marco Pracucci, a Cortex and Thanos maintainer, teamed up with Thor Hansen, a software engineer at Hashicorp, to give a presentation called “Scaling Prometheus: How we got some Thanos into Cortex.” In their talk, the pair discussed a new storage engine they have built into Cortex, how it can reduce the Cortex operational cost without compromising scalability and performance, and lessons learned from running Cortex at s
Get started with Gremlin’s Chaos Engineering tools to safely, securely, and simply inject failure into your systems to find weaknesses before they cause customer-facing issues. Today, Gremlin is excited to announce the ability to share a Scenario across your entire organization. This allows you to build up a library of reliability exercises that are customized to your company’s applications and technology.
Sometimes technology partnerships are greater than the sum of their parts. That’s the case with two Swiss companies who have come together to deliver Kubernetes solutions to their customers. VSHN is Switzerland’s leading 24/7 cloud operations partner and first Kubernetes Certified Service Provider. amazee.io is an open source container hosting provider that offers flexible solutions built for speed, security and scalability.
Rancher Labs’ recent launch of Longhorn was in response to DevOps’ distress call for a cloud-native persistent storage solution for Kubernetes. At the time, industry pundit Chris Mellor posted that the company had entered into direct competition with its partners Portworx and Storage OS. A healthy dose of coopetition may be more like it.
When you see a notification on your smartphone, your brain processes the request quickly and determines how to react. It’s an efficient process and your nervous system is built for this use case. By contrast, most Internet-connected systems work in a less event-driven architecture. If there’s a change in one service, you won’t know about it until you check.
Since the annual MIT Sloan CIO Symposium had to be canceled this year, MIT made the decision to launch a CIO Digital Learning Series. Episode 3 was broken into two parts, beginning with a fireside chat on the post-pandemic workplace, moderated by Irving Wladawsky-Berger with Catchpoint’s CEO Mehdi Daoudi and Eash Sundaram, Executive Vice President, Chief Digital and Technology at JetBlue, which was followed by a panel led by Paul Michelman on customer experience strategies.
Helm was born during the Pycon conference in 2013. Well, it wasn’t exactly Helm, it was Docker. It took Mr. Solomon Hykes a little over five minutes to completely change computing history. Ok, I admit that not everyone knows about -and uses- Docker and/or Kubernetes, but there is one fact that is undeniable: Helm in November 2019 had a million downloads and that is something important. We will see why.
After weeks of writing, researching and hopefully enough proofreading, we just launched a living collection of practical guides on leveraging headless browser tools (starting with Puppeteer and Playwright) for testing, monitoring, scraping, performance measuring and more. We called it theheadless.dev. This article is about the different approaches we tried in contributing ideas to the Puppeteer community, as well as the principles that guide our latest contribution.
We are pleased to announce the general availability of Elastic 7.9. This release brings a broad set of new capabilities to our Elastic Enterprise Search, Observability, and Security solutions, which are built on the Elastic Stack — Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, and Beats.
