D2iQ is excited to be participating in the Department of the Air Force Information Technology and Cyberpower (DAFITC) 2023, in Montgomery, Alabama, from August 28-30. The theme of this year’s DAFITC conference is “Digitally Transforming the Air & Space Force: Investing for Tomorrow’s Fight.” Digital transformation of the Air Force and Space Force is part of a wider modernization effort that is accelerating across all U.S.

Kubernetes liveness probes are a critical component for monitoring the health and availability of application containers running within a Kubernetes cluster. They allow Kubernetes to determine whether a container is running as expected and take appropriate actions if it is found to be unresponsive or in an unhealthy state. Liveness probes periodically check the health of containers by sending requests to a specified endpoint or executing a command within the container.

Kubernetes has become the go-to platform for container orchestration, allowing teams to more efficiently manage their containerized applications. Vanilla Kubernetes, as well as managed Kubernetes, are the two options available when building up a Kubernetes system. A group of programmers using vanilla Kubernetes must download the source code files, follow the code route, and set up the machine's environment.

Since 2018, our annual State of Kubernetes survey has consistently found that organizations achieve significant operational benefits from using Kubernetes, especially “improved resource utilization.” This year, we wanted to understand how Kubernetes impacts the business as a whole. The results are unequivocal.

Corey Dinkens and Carol Pereira contributed to this blog post. As enterprises deploy modern containerized applications to their Kubernetes clusters, managing data protection centrally is necessary to run critical business applications, especially in multi-cloud distributed environments.

Managing containerized applications efficiently in the dynamic realm of Kubernetes is essential for smooth deployments and optimal performance. Kubernetes empowers us with powerful orchestration capabilities, enabling seamless scaling and deployment of applications. However, in real-world scenarios, there are situations that necessitate the restarting of Pods, whether to apply configuration changes, recover from failures, or address misbehaving applications.
