Adding config to AWS ECS tasks

When deploying Docker containers to AWS ECS, you can encounter a situation where you want to run an image that requires some configuration. For example, let's say you wanted to run Vector1 as a sidecar to your main application so you can ship your application's metrics to a service like Honeybadger Insights. To run Vector, you only need to provide one configuration file (/etc/vector/vector.yaml) to the image available on Docker Hub.

6 Tips to Integrate Container Orchestration and APM Tools

Application performance monitoring (APM) setup and strategies vary based on the application’s infrastructure design. Containers managed by orchestration tools like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes are dynamic and ephemeral, significantly affecting monitoring strategies. Container development speeds up an organization’s ability to build, deploy and scale new features.

etcd in Kubernetes: What is it and Why is it Important?

A Comprehensive Guide for SREs Build Foundational Knowledge on How etcd fits into the Kubernetes Ecosystem etcd is the single source-of-truth data store for the Kubernetes cluster. As a Key-Value store with advanced features, etcd stores mission-critical Kubernetes data: configuration data, the cluster state and metadata. This information is key for the Kubernetes cluster to scale and self-heal. If etcd malfunctions, it can cause failures on the Kubernetes cluster.

Happy 10th Birthday Kubernetes!

As Kubernetes celebrates its 10th anniversary, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the profound impact Kubernetes has had on the cloud technology landscape. Since its inception, Kubernetes has revolutionized the way we deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications, becoming the de facto orchestration platform for today’s cloud-native ecosystem.
