In this tutorial, you’ll see how to deploy Solr on Kubernetes. You’ll also see how to use the Solr Operator to autoscale a SolrCloud cluster based on CPU with the help of the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. Let’s get going! 🙂

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a de-facto standard as a container orchestration tool. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that makes it easy to install and manage applications on your Kubernetes cluster. One of the benefits of using Helm is that it allows you to package all of the components required to run an application into a single, versioned artifact called a Helm chart.

You’ve loaded data into Densify and after reviewing recommendations your developers don’t want to take the recommended action – they aren’t trusting, yet. This is one of the top issues identified by the FinOps Foundation and many of our customers of Densify – but not all. Let’s explore what some customers do differently to build organizational trust in taking optimization recommendations.

In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, where agility and reliability are paramount, Kubernetes has emerged as a game-changer with its container orchestration capabilities. However, as applications become more complex and distributed, managing Kubernetes workflows presents a unique set of challenges.

Cloud Tagging should be automated, not left to humans. Optimization in the cloud is actually really simple. Here’s how we get our customers thinking differently which in turn makes them successful. “To your developers the cloud is like a candy store is to a kid where all the candy is free”. Just as parents need to teach their kids the value of money, you need to teach your developers the value of cloud spend.

Welcome to the Calico monthly roundup: August edition! From open source news to live events, we have exciting updates to share—let’s get into it!

Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller that allows you to perform advanced deployment methods in a Kubernetes cluster. We have already covered several usage scenarios in the past, such as blue/green deployments and canaries. The Codefresh deployment platform also has native support for Argo Rollouts and even comes with UI support for them.

An advanced, open-source technology called Kubernetes is used to manage, scale and deploy containerised applications automatically. Kubernetes offers a strong architecture that enables development and operations teams to effectively manage applications of several containers. Kubernetes was made by Google engineers. They shared it for free in 2014, and now a group called CNCF takes care of Kubernetes. People really like using Kubernetes to manage apps inside containers.
