This week in the Civo DevOps bootcamp, we covered what is DevOps & why it matters. There are no prerequisites for this bootcamp. The only thing we require is your passion to learn and explore. This session was undertaken by mentors highly experienced in their respective fields. Read on to learn more about it!
Welcome to the Civo update for July 2021. In this edition we unveil some of the data from our Kubernetes in 2021 developer survey, a sneak peek at GitHub Copilot, and a case study on how Civo and StorageOS combine to provide cloud native storage for our Kubernetes platform.
Ever since Google made Kubernetes open-source in 2014, it has enjoyed incredible growth, helping businesses of all sizes to successfully manage their containers and ultimately make the most of all that our cloud native world has to offer. Individual users certainly initially led the charge with Kubernetes, identifying issues, and generally exploring the best ways to intelligently test, manage, and deploy workloads.
A couple of days ago, I was pleasantly surprised to suddenly see a tweet come in from Viktor Farcic. Viktor now works at upbound.io who developed Crossplane, and he also runs his own popular YouTube channel and co-hosts DevOps Paradox podcast. He’s well respected in the cloud native community. When I saw the tweet and noticed that Viktor had recorded a review of Civo on YouTube, I was just hoping he was kind to us...and I am pleased to say he was!
As more enterprises shift towards cloud-native, containers are proving their worth in providing developers with a flexible way to quickly get applications up and running in the cloud. Kubernetes is an integral part of this journey, offering an industry leading container orchestration platform to automate the deployment, scaling and management of containers.
Our friends at Buoyant, creators of Linkerd, have just launched the public beta of Buoyant Cloud, the best way to run Linkerd in mission-critical environments. We're happy to announce that Civo users are eligible for $100 in free Buoyant Cloud credits. Read on to learn more!
