As we’ve shown in previous blogs, Elastic® provides a way to ingest and manage telemetry from the Kubernetes cluster and the application running on it. Elastic provides out-of-the-box dashboards to help with tracking metrics, log management and analytics, APM functionality (which also supports native OpenTelemetry), and the ability to analyze everything with AIOps features and machine learning (ML).

At Qovery, we strive to continuously improve our product to meet the ever-evolving needs of our users, making it more convenient and functional. We're proud to announce a groundbreaking update to our Preview Environment feature that we believe will transform the way engineering teams test their features. Buckle up for a journey into a world where creating production-like environments becomes a breeze!

Selecting the right infrastructure at the right time for your Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) cluster is not an easy decision. Your AKS cluster has hundreds of dynamic workloads that expand or contract based on application needs. You need to scale up quickly when the application demands it and scale down when resources are not needed to reduce cloud costs. Are you constantly wondering if you are making the right node selections for your AKS cluster with hundreds of applications?

The way to solve Kubernetes complexity is with tools. Ironically, this also creates a lot of complexity because there are many options for each type of tool and, thus, an unfathomable number of combinations. Each stack of tools first requires unique integrations, and then there's ongoing work to keep all those tools integrated and working together. It's no wonder, then, that we've seen a strong willingness for organizations to spend money on Kubernetes tools.

As technology evolves in the enterprise, oftentimes the processes and tools used to manage it must also evolve. The increased adoption of Kubernetes has become a major inflection point for those of us in the monitoring and management side of the IT operations world. What has worked for decades (traditional infrastructure monitoring) has to be adjusted to the complexity and ephemeral nature of modern distributed systems where Kubernetes has a prime role.

Kubernetes is essential to modern application development and runtime. As a powerful container orchestration platform, its benefits include improved scalability, portability, and automation, all of which contribute to more resilient applications and cost savings. More and more organizations are adopting Kubernetes to develop applications that can scale, recover from failures, and quickly adapt to changing business requirements.

OpenStack is no doubt a wonderful and successful piece of software. It allows you to create your own cloud infrastructure, and thanks to its open-source nature, it’s free to use for everyone. But as with many giant software projects, all that power comes with a challenge: it is reasonably complex to install and configure.
